Maybe he's really self-concious and doesn't want to be labelled as a patch Zerg!
Hyun is shaping up, he's very very good at Starcraft 2. I've seen many of his games and development in sc2 (like when he started out in the korean weekly), I was a fan then, and I'm a fan now!

GG and I feel bad for crank because his builds were kind of the same but they all worked very well on ladder.
Hopefully before Raleigh he'll pick up some less predictable builds for his arsenal. It's absolutely necessary. And I know Crank isn't just a one-trick pony. Maybe he just needs to polish up the builds he's not so confident in.
I'd be disappointed to see him fall flat on his face because of his build. All his other skills are amazing, so if he were to get his builds perfect he'd fulfill his potential.
I have noticed actually, that he always goes puts forge + upgrades down way sooner than anyone else. And in the matches he loses to rushes, he'd usually win if he had units first instead of forges/cannons. I understand a single forge and cannon against zerg but he focuses too much on tech and # of buildings instead of taking it one step at a time and ensuring he has proper defense/supply.
On ladder matches he either all-ins or fights before 10 minutes so that's why you saw all those stalkers. But if he just had some archons, HT's, and maybe some harass @ 10 minutes while he builds up his tech, he'd be better off.

Committed too heavily to Roach/Hydra/Corruptor without teching, and basically lost to mass Blink Stalker when all the Colossi were down.
