Elazer vs Byun

So after watching ByuN in this Ro32 matches, it is easy to see both his strengths and weaknesses. Like Tastosis mentioned as well, his greatest strength (Micro, drops, harassment) is also his greatest weakness. Once he sets his mind to it, he just doesn't stop even if it's not working out anymore after 15 minutes or there's hydra's etc, he'll just continue.

On the other end, we did see ByuN's lategame (vs zerg at least) finally in the last match here. It looks to me to be somewhere in between Maru's and Inno's style, except that ByuN didn't seem to go for any early aggression at all (Possibly because his strength/weakness thing where he just doesn't know when to stop doing it and go for lategame) while Maru and Inno usually keep up at least some form of pressure while going for the lategame.

I do have to say that while I think ByuN still has the talent to get a second GSL win, I do think that he has to work a lot more on his TvP aspects and knowing when to stop going for one tactic and switch into another, and have a better, more pressure into a lategame strategy. Maru just seems like a much more refined form of ByuN right now, but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

Looking forward to what you can show us next month ByuN!



Best final game I've seen in a while. Insane. Coming from Byun who I thought had zero late game. I guess he does against zerg.



I agree with Xeneonic. ByuN is great but he's trying too hard to rely on that early-mid game pressure without leaving the option of developing into a great late game threat that he is able to become in these last two games.
