I'll always remember tuning into his stream with my buddies in 2016 and seeing him win over and over again, get rank 1 on the ladder, and then reset his account so he could climb to the top again. He made it seem so effortless, definitely a King of SC2 and my favorite player of all time.

@Olek Ś. For his career, yeah sure But for him personally the other one was more important. He stood against the double world champion, with a team behind his back. In short he fought against the one who had it all. In my opinion that win was for Byun really important, because thanks to that he was able to make it at blizzcon. He was mentally prepared for the biggest tournament.

@badicusvibesimus182 3 года назад

There was a time when I was a low GM player spamming games. One day I was spamming ladder inbetween games of some US tourney (I forget if it was MLG or what). I played a low masters ranked player who completely annihilated me. In the next featured game ByuN was up and I recognized his player ID as the one I had just played on an NA server. He left me bewildered off cam as a warmup player for one of his tourneys.

@badicusvibesimus182 3 года назад

Just finished watching. I remember developing purpleish calluses because I had been playing starcraft too much. Honestly wish I had kept playing if just for the chance to play these caliber people again if only by accident

@kennytennyson4485 3 года назад

ByuN is such an awesome player and has such personality with how he acts and how he plays. I remember first being amazed by ByuN's plays but then being more amazed at how personable he is. He dedicates so much of himself to the game and you can see it when he wins and when he loses. Seeing ByuN achieving success against all odds during his time is such a joy as well as seeing him still enjoying the game years later. As a fan, I'd like ByuN to know that he has given me a lot of happiness and aspires me to work hard towards my goals. He will forever be my favorite sc2 player and I wish to see him becoming evermore successful in his progaming career.

@Fubbymaster 3 года назад

ByuN vs dark is literally a legendary final series in my eyes. Probably one of the best showmatches I've seen. His control was just unrivalled vs the also exceptional dark. I also remember knowing that reapers were busted when ByuNs group of reapers were able to punish a group of roaches moving across the map, although i don't remember the series.

@setsuna9757 3 года назад

I just want to throw this out there. But for me. Byun is the most iconic starcraft 2 player of all time. I still find him really strong from all of his matches. Up to this day!

@Michaelonyoutub 3 года назад

those reaper games were some of the most amazing showcases of skill I have ever seen in starcraft and I don't know if they could ever be beaten. Byun made reapers overpowered because Byun was overpowered in terms of his godlike control of them, nobody could beat him so blizzard had to step in and nerf terran into the ground to stop byun, and they had to nerf terran two or three times for it to actually work.

@slevingaius 3 года назад

I honestly hope byun can figure a way to play different styles in terms of pace. Sure he favours MMM because its mobility but that hardcore intense early game haress isnt good for his wrist, already after returning from national service his wrist injuries is back. Hope he can play at a slower pace like his idol innovation or long games like TY or Maru. We have yet to see him try Mech builds.

@cubecrasher7606 3 года назад

If you are new to it I ByuN really is one of the most interesting Players to watch. He's a lot more entertaining to watch then for example Serral, who is ridicoulus in his own Right, but just not as fun to watch. Especially when it Comes to Terran, the only one I personally find as interesting to watch is Clem Right now, even tho I still love seeing Innovation or Maru Play, but it's just not the same.

This guy was dominant, he had a specific style and won many tournament for a long period. Call him the "fallen king" if necessary or something and of course it wouldn't be with hidden controversies, we all know he lost purposedly in match fixing but still, I can't think about StarCraft 2 without including this guy, he's a part of the history of this game (good or bad).
