In "Hyunstoppable - The trials of Ke Seok Hyun", I detail the Quantic Gaming zerg ace's career from his beginning on MBC Game to winning Dreamhack Valencia.


Excerpts from the article:

The shoes HyuN had to fill on MBC Game's Proleague roster as JulyZerg left the MBCGame team:

The most promising player out of the team's zergs was this article's poster boy; Ko "HyuN" Seok Hyun, and already at the beginning of his career he faced tremendous pressure. The role of July had been an incremental part of MBCGame Hero's overall proleague endeavours, HyuN prior to the 2006-2007 SKY Proleague had only participated in OSL/MSL qualifiers with little to no success and all of a sudden he would have to fill a position that was previously seated by one of the greatest zergs of all time. The newcomer would prove to be more than an ample enough replacement, and proved this as soon as two weeks in to the SKY 2007 Proleague season.

HyuN's constant losses to finalists in individual leagues in BW:

This would go on to become a signature staple of the zerg player's runs in individual leagues, in four out of the six Starleagues he managed to qualify for, he was eliminated by a finalist/semi-finalist.

Reaching the Hot6ix GSL Final, his first ever final:

In time, the elder had beaten the youngster and for the first time in his more than half decade-long career no other player would take his spot in the finals, at long last a victory would be granted to the man who had given, and lost equally as much. It was the set-up of fantasies as his opponent in the finals would be Kwon "Sniper" Tae Hoon, who had managed to turn himself in to a villain after winning the semi-finals when he called out the entire terran player base for "crying" over the game's current state balance wise. The English-speaking communities were in a state of furore, and had made the master of the Fight Club their champion. Donned in full boxing-attire, the stage had been set.

The full article can be read on Aceresport.com!

I guess staying in at least code A for a while counts but I would agree he doesn't show consistently good games!

The article does mention that the GSL finals at IPL was the first GSL match played outside of Korea which isn't true (MMA v. MVP at blizzcon) but that's nitpicking I loved the article.
