I understand he's your player so it's easy for you to be bias but that's very far from the truth.


I've never been your fan, because you do stuff like this. You get upset (rightfully) when people make fun of your weight.

But then you come into someone's retirement thread and say stuff like this. Really?


Well it was an exaggeration. But let's not pick fights here and now.


Maybe to you it was an exaggeration, but this thread isn't the place to say it regardless. Just like this forum isn't the place to point out desrow's weight even if you aren't exaggerating. Stating either here is incredibly rude and classless.

Hwangsin is an awesome player, and he deserves better than this.

I think you mean he was one of your strongest Protoss players. ;/ Anyway good luck to him in whatever he decides to do.

In this case I'd say desRow is right.


Sorry if you think I was mistaken, or don't share the same views as me, but in Wings he was certainly one of the stronger protosses, and has some notable achievements.


Biased opinions man.

Hwangsin was a pretty good player for a period actually. Probably top 10 Protoss in the world at one time.

Aren't opinions always biased?

This is a retirement thread and I don't think people should even discuss the statement. I feel like overstating a players value is just natural when he was one of your best and he retires. GL to hwangsin in the future and I may actually watch ATC for once to cheer him on in his last game ^.^

deSrow is right, Hwansing is not even a mediocre korean player in my eyes.

It´s not about being right, it´s just incredibly rude to discuss them in a retirement thread. If you are really that bothered by it, send the OP a PM, but don´t discuss it here, that is offensive towards HwangSin.

You're the man HwangSin, and I'll miss watching your play in tournaments and streams! My only regret is if this means I'll never be able to attend a tournament and meet you!

HwangSin's run at the MLG 2012 Fall Championships was sick, beating great players and finishing at the same level as TaeJa, and he was also very good very early in WoL. If you assume "one of the strongest" means top five, then sure, he wasn't able to make it there, but he was a very strong Protoss, capable of beating some of the best with occasional very impressive results, and consistently impressive enough results to keep him in many of the highest leagues. He was also always believed in strongly by those around him, a great addition to any team, and a really fun and great guy to hang out with on stream. He did far more than most who try their hand at professional Starcraft, and should be given due credit.

Played him once and he destroyed me and talking to him after he was quite nice and respectful when I asked how to be better.

Nice guy and good player.

I always appreciated his effort to be improving and communicating with any stream viewers that he had, which were always sadly in very low numbers.

I absolutely agree that it's extremely rude to be discussing the person's skill in his retirement thread. Sure, you don't agree with the claim in the OP, just leave it at that. No need to be a jerk especially for someone who tried his best not to be a faceless korean, but was ultimately not fated to be a memorable character in our eyes.

I wish Hwangsin all the best.
