There has been a lot of attention toward the new member of the TSL team, Ko “Hyun” Seok Hyun who used to be a Starcraft Broodwar Pro Gamer.
On the 28th (Korean time), TSL has announced that they will be recruiting Hyun in order to rebuild the team while Clide, Killer, and JYP has left. For more information on that, visit Team SCV Life Big Change
Hyun has been part of a team (which is now gone) as a Broodwar pro-gamer; MBC Game Heroes. He joined the MBC Game Team in the year 2005 and has debuted in 2006 at the MSL Survivor Tournament. His official record is 194 games 84 Wins 110 Loss.
At the Pro-League, he recorded 71wins and 80 loss and in the year 2009, he played as the leading Zerg player for the MBC Game. In 2008, he was recognized for his 6 Winning spree and in 2009 for ending “The Ultimate Weapon” Flash (KT)’s 14 winning spree.
Even though he does not have a very high winning rate, he has been loved by a lot of the fans for his very aggressive playing style. Hyun tended to be a little weak in the late game, therefore he was known for his mid-game ending game instead of pro-longing the game forever and continued the strong Zerg legacy of the MBC Game that began with Park "July" Sung Joon (now member of the team Startale).
Hyun is very well known for his creative ceremonies. Hyun comes up with brilliant ceremonies, making him one of the more popular broodwar pro gamer comparatively to his records.
After the MBC Game Team has been dispatched, Hyun was not able to join the other 8 Pro teams, therefore he has decided to move on and join Starcraft 2. And Hyun had past friendship with the coach of TSL therefore he decided to join team TSL.
Currently Hyun is not as good as some of the other Starcraft 2 pro-gamers. But TSL Coach believes that he will be able to catch up soon since Hyun already has a great sense of gaming sense and a great practicing habit since Starcraft 1.
Hyun will be joining the TSL Team House on the night of the 28th, beginning his intense training.
Would be delighted if Ryo could maybe share some "insider" information how that happens, and if there's a possibility of former Hero players joining TSL and Lee?(Or switching in general)
Lee used to be one of the coaches for MBC Heroes and HyuN wasn't picked up by any teams thus he was forced to retire from BW.
Lee just took advantage of a great opportunity to lock down one of the teams top rookies. 30 players were forced to retire as a result of the folding teams. Not all of them are going to cross over.
Kinda funny how some people don't know who he is cause they came to TL during the SC2 wave.
Gonna be funny as shit when BW finally dies and SC2 takes over with a mega influx of BW pro gamers coming and ripping apart the scene, ppl gonna like where did these ppls come from and how did they get so good so fast! But nice info nonetheless

With more free agents after the disband of Oz and MBCHero I won't be surprised that Pefectman is going to be the SC2 Protoss Bonjwa lol. He sucked in BW but he can still crush face vs foreigners+MC
lol, when i read the thread name, I thought it was someone who actually didn't know who Hyun is and was too lazy to TLPD. Was getting ready to rage hard at my computer screen.
Nice write-up. I think a couple things you said are a little off, but it's good education for most sc2 players who have no idea. Looking forward to seeing him play. He's got the potential to be very good and very exciting.
