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.

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%.

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.

WTF Byun?? Please dress up more !!
|
Byun looking sexy. Guess that 200k prize pool is going towards clothes 
|
Byun in his playing clothes vs award clothes is staunchly different
|
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

|

|
|
Well that's a different look for Byun haha
|
|
|
Ah.. good to see they promised to show good games
|
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.
|
wow ByuN, so damn classy. Should make a career in modelling after he's finished with sc2 (which hopefully happens as late as possible ^^).
|
$$$$$$$$$$$ ByuN looks goooood!

After what Flash had revealed about KeSPA's sc2 salary structure, I'm surprised he got an invite.

Unfortunately this year they were all consolidated into one Best SC2 player award.

Y'know, he was on Prime once upon a time. And before *things* happened, Prime was once used by a clothing store sponsor as models.
I'm not saying there's a connection, but look at the people that were on Prime (the actual players) and they were not a bad looking bunch. They all cleaned up okay.

I remember when Creator was modeling like crazy before Zest made it cool to do so.
