Seriously talk about an unsung hero, such a veteran of the StarCraft scene coming over to Providence to translate for the Korean players, a task that showed by others as an extremely taxing job. Props to Hwanni and all the staff coming over with the koreans, you make MLG great for everyone!

i chuckled when i saw hwanni on stream, hes great ^^
|
|
OMG TL doesnt have a Hwanni fanclub
Edit: It does now! <3
|
|
I always think of Artosis house tour videos when I see him and Artosis going something like "And with me is Hwanni!" and he goes "Yeah hello..." haha fun stuff :D

I had a flashback to the startale house video where he talks about PuMa being so good in practice!
|
Hwanni's accent when he speaks english is fucking badass for some reason.
|
|
|
Hwanni has the most soothing voice out of all the translators I've heard. Can't wait to hear him translate
|
|
Hwanni doesnt get much love from Sc2 folk.
|
The guy is such a good translator. His voice is awesome and he just... I'm not even sure how to explain it. He just seems so relaxed and articulate.

Agreed =/ He is just as involved in the Sc2 as BW too and he deserves mad love

When I met Hwanni in Korea for iEF, he was super friendly to us all, treated us out to dinner and was an all around stand-up guy. I love that guy. Long live Hwanni!
P.S. He is a big reason Artosis is where he is in Korea so if anyone is an Artosis fan (aka all of you!), you can thank Hwanni for getting Dan a foothold in Korea. <3

A professional, good translator. Good pick up for MLG, major upgrade

Hwanni you are awesome!! <3 Keep the good job !

Manager/coach yes. And he did help foreigners a lot back in Broodwar. Nowadays he has a CS team as far as i know. Great guy <3

Hwanni is such a nice guy and an excellent translator Hope he sticks around for future MLGs

Hwanni is a fucking hero, a pivotal figure for foreigners in Korea, but yeah, a fucking hero.

leenock interview was so cute hwanni #1 translator
|
Hwanni's the man. I remember seeing him in Artosis' vids back when SC2 was but a fledgling esport.
|
He's on red getting interviewed by clutch.
|
|
|
|
didn't know he started with counter strike then move on to BW and finally SC2.
|
He gave a great interview but crowd enthusiasm felt so low :<

Someone who has more knowledge correct me if i'm wrong, but he still works with Counter-Strike. I have seen him tweeting about him trying to get sponsors and such for the team.

This man makes the Korean accent sound so sexy <3.
|
his english accent is so badass
|
Sign me up. When I saw him on stream I immediately recognized him from old Artosis videos.
Also, he and Gunrun are tied for best voice. Either of them could narrate Planet Earth-style documentaries quite well.
|
Sign me up, his work at MLG is just fantastic!
|
Great job on the Slayers video. Respect.
|
Hwanni, you are so sexy! I really love how you add emotions and acting to the voice over and translation. This makes everything 10000000000% better. No need to win tournaments. Hwanni, you are a champion already.
|
HWANNI FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hwanni does such heartwarming translations, I feel he captures the emotion and meaning perfectly. So well done :D

According to my chat with him on SCII, he isn't living in a team house (like I thought) so he's living at home, and then going out of his way to do awesome things for the community. He's also a Master league zerg on KR. ^^

Hwanni is the ballest ever! I love this guy! We want him on more tournaments!

Hwanni is amazing on the IM stream, not just translating, but keeps coming up with interesting points and info, which all tells me he would be pretty good as a caster (that is if his understanding of SC2 is top class), or as a host of a show or part of a podcast or something.

Hey guys, is there any way I can get in touch directly with Hwanni? It is, believe it or not, for work purposes but I can't send him a PM via twitter, so I'm hoping either one of you here knows a way to contact him (preferrably email, or even better, phone) or maybe he'll even notice me here

I would say your best chance would come from contacting EG. I doubt he checks TL or his fan club.
