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


LOL desrow making fun of someone elses skill... that's hilarious. I'm sure Hwangsin is absolutely crushed to see desrow's opinion of him so low bahahaha

Much love Hwangsin and hope you find happiness in whatever you do from here on out, great, great guy and that's really what matters in the end.

doesn't really matter how good desrow is at the game, because desrow's opinion of hwangsin is actually a fact.

I think people are primarily turned off by desrow's callous and insensitive statement, given the fact that he's morbidly obese and has shown a great deal of sensitivity and hurt when others have made comments about his weight, etc. There's a time and place for that kind of thing, but in Hwangsin's "send off" thread it just seemed sort of tasteless and petty. That's my two cents anyway.

GL in life HwangSin -- wishing you all the best.

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?


Attacking someone for who they are versus factual results are two entirely different arguments.



And? Your logic doesn't make sense; you pointed out a difference in arguments, but failed to explain why said difference matters. Wake up, it doesn't!

Attacking someone isn't okay. It doesn't make it justified to attack desrow because he is overweight, nor it is okay to attack someone in their retirement thread because they didn't win everything.

This is a time to celebrate his accomplishments, not sit around and talk about how bad he was. This is a retirement thread, don't hijack it with hate.

Where are your manners?

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

I agree. I'm a fan of Hwangsin, and I'm sad to see him retire... but it's still not appropriate to lie about his success or talent. He was a decent pro-gamer, but he wasn't ever in the conversation for Top 10- let alone Top 5- Protoss players... at any point in time, for that matter.

But more importantly, he will be missed ♥

That should be directed at the OP for making things up, not at desrow for stating a fact. You don't get to lie just because someone is retiring. It's a hard truth to hear, but it wouldn't have been brought up in the first place if the OP didn't say what he said.

He can always means he is one of the STRONGEST PLAYER... in the NA SCENE. Which is quite true i think.

Well I would think that the OP would have said "in NA" then, for clarification... and even still, I don't know how high he ranks there/ if that would be appropriate to say.

But either way, I'm going to stop participating in the discussion. It should be a You Will Be Missed thread, not a Critique thread.

gl hf in life man!

If people can't focus on the fact that you were an awesome guy, you're retiring, and nitpick about stupid shit then this scene probably doesn't deserve you.
Byun, best player in the world!
