Ku Sung Hoon, a.k.a. HiyA, is a retired Korean StarCraft progamer. He played as Terran and was a member of team Hwaseung OZ.
[edit] Biography
Ku Sung Hoon has been a regular on the Hwaseung OZ team since the Shinhan Bank Proleague 2007 season. His biggest claim to fame is winning the final game of the Shinhan Proleague 2007 Grand Final in the 5th set vs. firebathero. HiyA had posted mediocre results for the majority of his career, and has only advanced to the Ro32 in the Avalon MSL and recently to the Ro8 in the Hana Daetoo Securities MSL. HiyA broke out during the Shinhan Bank Winners League 08–09, where he was statistically the 4th best player in the league, going 17–9. Upon the disbandment of Hwaseung OZ, HiyA retired, though briefly came out of retirement to play in the 2012 Tving OSL Dual Tournament.
- HiyA’s best matchup is TvP. During his prime he was able to defeat every one of the Six Dragons he faced except for Bisu.
- HiyA’s nickname among TL fans is “Magikarp”, for his distinctive appearance.
- Did the "trap card" ceremony when he defeated
Hyuk in the 2010 Korean Air Starleague Season 2.
[edit] Notable Games
- vs.
Jaedong on Pathfinder, 2010 Bacchus OSL Ro16 - HiyA probably abuses the knowledge of his teammate's play to put a tough fight against him in the first match of the group stage. Watch beyond the "GG", and you'll see some nice winner's ceremony. :)
