I would assume its the real hongun with the info posted here. There are ton's of members here who have 1-5 posts a year and simply come here for the information not to post anything.

Poor Prime and ZeNEX lately it seems like they are losing lots of good players.

It's weird because it seems like Prime is the only Korean team that actually makes money and has a real business/marketing strategy (well, maybe Startale and oGs?) .. but they seem to be struggling with retaining members.

Really wonder what's going on behind the scenes over at Prime, has to be something O_O


Don't forget they have a puppy now! Maybe hongUn afraid of dogs? ^^"

Wrist issues might mean he's retiring or just taking a break.

Hopefully it's just the latter. I'd hate to see another son of Aiur drop off the face of the earth.

This surprises me. Is it from their store?

Poor Hongun...I was really pulling for him to win his match in code A.

Not really surprising since he has talked about quitting before. The only thing that kept him going was placing high in Code S. Now that he's not there anymore he might be wanting to stop/take a break.

How about all fans go PM/post in his thread and in his chat encouraging him, reminding we <3 him? I really don't want him to go

if he has no more motivation he will go on to achieve that other goal/dream in life he mentioned it seems like a good time now to do that, since he's out of Code A and will take a while to get back into Code S.

You know, it would be smart of TL to not use an actual picture of the player they are planning of picking up if they wanted to keep it a secret, knowing that TL'ers would eventually be able to figure out the exact picture they used for the blackout.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

AFAIK HongUn doesn't live in the Prime house (whether he did before or not, iono), Check also did not live in the Prime house. Perhaps, Prime is trying to be stricter with their practice now and be something similar to Zenio-oGs situation. Where players who no longer wish to stay in the team house will be allowed to leave the team on good terms?

Polt also didn't live in the team house.

Luckily for Prime, BbongBbong looks like he could be the next big zerg on the scene, and Creator has loads of potential and with the new system, could be in Code S by no time. Sadly, on paper, there second best player, GhostKing, will be out of action for a few months.

hongun was still in prime when he played code a last week.


damn i could have sworn he left lol... maybe I'm getting confused with someone else

thx tho

fuck shit i hope he doesn't retire T_T but for that other, more important goal/dream in life he mentioned, i hope he can keep us posted on that <3

he will be remembered for carriers/motherships xD

and his epic blink micro.

Maybe you are thinking of Polt? He left prime and he was one of their big names (for the person you thought left prime)

Oh, that's definitely it. I knew I had to have mistaken it for something, haha. I was thinking Byun but that didn't make sense. I just remember looking at the AoL lineup and looking at Prime and being disappointed that the 2nd player was bboonbboong instead of someone else. Must have confused HongUn with Polt there! :D

ALSO, HONGUN WILL FUCKING BE AWESOME TO JOIN SLAYERS.

Think about it... HongUn LOVES micro, he's creative, and he fucking makes carriers.

He's like the SC2 version of Nal_Ra (especially if HongUn decides to quit progaming soon lol...)

And Nal_Ra was described to be the protoss version of Boxer back in BW.
