I am a very self-conscious player so it's not really a bad thing to be without a team. Some players would play Overwatch or LOL when they go home. I would never do that.


That passion.

Interesting to see that he thinks the team life is restriciting that he probably can't have a dog and fan meetings.

Are they actually a thing?

It's Byun's religion.

"If you are the one who brought this banner home, please give it back to me. I was to put it up at home, please"
The banner says, "Byun, Mr. Innovation is watching over you." (at the finals)

Also Byun was wearing Innovation's starleague badge during the finals and the next day at s2sl finals, as Innovation was always strong against SoS.

And this is his unofficial interview with fans after the finals

https://www.playxp.com/sc2/bbs/view.php?article_id=5493303#!6


1. One of his practice partner was Myungsik, so he was very confident against any kinds of Protoss all-ins.
2. Practice result was 65-5 and the 5 defeats were all from Myungsik.
3. On the first map, the build was actually better for him, but he lost because he was too nervous. He was also very nervous on the last map.
4. He was very satisfied with the viking micro on the second map.
5. He almost lost himself after the lose on the first map, but he saw the Innovation banner, and made up his mind.
6. The only player that beats Byun is Innovation.
7. When SoS and he took the Tazza shoot, they apologized to each other, and as Byun was a very big fan of the movie, he even made some changes to the script with his ideas.
8. TvZ is a bit too chaotic, so it's harder than TvP for him.
9. Winning prizes, and seeing his Paypal account deposited is one of the motivations for him.
10. He eats very little, that he normally eats once a day, and his mother scolds him often for that.
11. Living with Ren (his puppy) and that he likes to have long fan meeting like this (over 2 hours) are two conditions that he will require when he finds a team.
12. When he goes to Blizzcon, he can bring another person as his coach, and he wants Innovation if possible.

Also he was worried if the cheering would be too little, but in the booth, he could hear the louder cheering than SoS's, and that really energized him.

We finally know why the (seemingly) random INnoVation banner was put up, at ByuN's request.

So much for the robotic Korean Terran with no personality stereotype.

What an amazing guy. I hope he gets Inno as his coach and he takes Blizzcon!

Him eating once a day is not very reassuring

The 65-5 on the other hand is a boss result in practice.

Were the 65-5 from all of his practice partners? (Neeb, Jim, Super, etc) or just Myungsik?
Either way wtf, really nice of them to keep playing in spite of getting destroyed time and time again.

Not even the name "ByuN" in the title of the thread. Weird... why is this?

Any theories?
