The 2nd god of Terran stronger as ever with an epic comeback. Hopefully he saves Terran while Maru heals (if that’s even possible) his injury... | ||

And all the while he always intended to come back to the game, so when he had time to play he did. Meaning his level didn't take a hard drop like for other military returnees. | ||

Went to military a few years before he absolutely needed to instead of trying to stall things out until the last possible moment. Now he's coming back and can focus 100% on the game without having to worry about military. He can go to any event outside of Korea without issue as well once those are finally possible again. And all the while he always intended to come back to the game, so when he had time to play he did. Meaning his level didn't take a hard drop like for other military returnees. Yeah, Dream for example got to the millitary early as well, but he didn t practise while serving. I took him like a year to come back into Ro8 contender form | ||

I'd still consider 2-0'ing Cure a huge upset for a guy who hasn't played a professional match in almost 2 years. And Byun had fallen off quite a bit when he quit; relatively I'd say he was at the same level as Cure is now, maybe even lower | ||

With this it's probably more comfortable for ByuN to play to his ladder level. I wouldn't necessarily expect him to immediately go deep in GSL though. | ||

Very impressive return. Playing from home definitely helps though indeed. But that’s supposed to help Cure as well... | ||

Is there other announced stuff that grants EPT points before katowice? | ||

Inno and Dark not making it (yet), and i thought they said soO will go to the military after season 2? But now he qualified for the third... i guess he still has a shot at winning soO doesn't know the exact date when he joins the military yet, only that it's October/November. So I guess Afreeca was completely fine with him playing anyway. | ||

Dude needs to consider one game if he wants to be good on it. Pretty stoked for ByuN ! | ||

Wrist issues or not he was basically invisible in 2018 Well obviously, the reason for the hype has nothing to do with 2017-2018. It goes far beyond his GSL and Blizzcon wins as well. Even as far back as 2011 (2012?), we all knew MVP was the king. Then MVP tells everyone that he isn't even the best terran, Byun is. Byun made a couple of Code S semis, but didn't live up to the hype in tourneys. However, MVP wouldn't say that unless he thought Byun was a championship caliber player. After that, Byun went MIA and only played online. There, he had like a 90% winrate in every matchup and won like every online tourney. His criticism was that a lot of the top players weren't participating. After a while, top Koreans started entering these tourneys as well. Byun still did just as well. It was like 3 years of play at 80-90% winrate and a long time at the top of Aligulac. After this, he went on to his infamous tournament wins and got reapers nerfed as the only player without a team. To my knowledge, he started having wrist issues after that. He still did solidly, but not up to his previous standard, as mentioned. It's unfair to say his hype isn't deserved based off only 2017-2018, especially when even if he doesn't win anything a lot of people are hyped to see him back because his games are entertaining as hell. As I already mentioned, in his last match before military he'd 8-3d Dark, the best ZvT player at the time. Considering he's been sitting at the top of KR GM recently while in the military and took out Dream and Cure in his first matches back, that's exciting. | ||

He’s a curious cat is ByuN. In a glorious way. I just hope his wrists can hold up. I can’t think of a single player with a worse regime for wrist longevity, equally not everyone is as susceptible to wrist problems as others. His practice regime is very grind heavy, and his style is very micro intensive even for a Terran. | ||

To add: this was a time when the rigour of kespa teamhouses was still relevant - the players that had been built in this environment were dominating. Byun breaking this trend whilst being so solitary is an unrivalled feat in SC2. | ||
