 Roccat_HyuN's run of success in 2014 continued as he took first place in the online Fragbite Masters Spring to claim the first place prize of 80,000 SEK (approximately $12,200 dollars). It was his third major tournament win of the year after Copenhagen Games and WCS America Season 1, bringing his total 2014 winnings up to just over $50,000 on the year.
The tournament also featured a strong showing from Spain's mouz.VortiX, who defeated players like MC, Solar, Happy, and KangHo on his way to the finals. In the end, HyuN proved to be too tall a hurdle to overcome, and VortiX fell 0-4 in the grand finals. Combined with his win in the Vasacast Invitational, VortiX has been showing excellent form in major online tournaments this year.
The teamless KangHo (aka Losira) finished in third, while Samsung Galaxy KHAN's Solar came in fourth.

sooo happy for hyun!
remember when he was thinking about giving up on esports?
hes won like 2-3 tourneys since then
|
Right on, Hyun! I was a fan since you started pro SC2 as TSL.MyWay, so I'm glad to see he's still survivin'.
|
Super Congrats Hyun!!!! Your still great at SC2 sir when you concentrate to the max and read the plays well!!!

I was really hoping vortix could take it; his ZvZ was looking just absolutely godly.
But congrats to hyun! Well deserved win
|
Bet he's glad he didn't retire.

Aww man, VortiX was looking so good up until then, taking out some great players. But congrats to HyuN regardless, he has been playing great lately and totally deserves it with a 4-0. His ZvZ seems pretty powerful right now, at least aside from against Snute for some reason, haha.

$50k is a pretty impressive haul for not even being half way through the year yet
|
This tournament really turned into a zvz fest in spite of having a balanced line-up. I hope it isn't a prophecy of how things will come to be in SC2 the next few months.
