Surprised that nobody mentioned about this but here it goes.

[image loading]

The 2016 KESPA eSports Awards was held on 23rd November.

The winner of GSL season 2 and Blizzcon global finals, Byun expectedly won Best SC2 player of the year and Flash presented him with the award as a special guest.

[image loading]

There were 15 SC2 players nominated for the Most Popular SC2 player award and they were: Solar, Gumiho, Stats, Cure, sOs, herO, Dark, Dear, Byun, soO, Rogue, TY, Maru, Patience and Zest. After calculating 3600 valid internet votes, TY won Most Popular Player with 14.52% of the votes, Dark was second with 13.87% and third was Byun with 13.29%.

[image loading]

TY mentioned in his winner's speech that at one time he had considered retiring but decided to continue being a pro after seeing the support from his fans, so he is very grateful for his fans' love and support. TY said that even with the decline in the current SC2 scene, he will work even harder and no matter how hard it is in the future, he will march on.



Runner-up Dark felt a bit regretful that he did not manage to win Most Popular Player but he will work hard to win over the fans with his skills next year.

After leading JinAir Greenwings to the 2016 Proleague title, Head Coach Cha Ji Hoon won Best SC2 Coach.

ByuN looks really sharp. And Flash as special guest doesn't have to dress up like everyone else.

ByuN is really trying to make Bogus jealous. Sharp suit and he's rolling with Flash.

Careful who you curve :x

I don't want to be super redundant given the plentiful of responses in this thread, but hot damn Byun looks fine. He's like a model or something.

Few know Byuns main occupation is modeling for a popular Jeans brand in Korea. He rules SC2 online cups just for fun, much like Magnus Carlsen does chess.
Semper fidelis.

wow ByuN, so damn classy. Should make a career in modelling after he's finished with sc2 (which hopefully happens as late as possible ^^).
