Trivia

• Famously used a six pool against fan-favorite FanTaSy on the map Newkirk Precinct in Round of 16 of the second season of WCS Korea, and pulled three drones ahead of time in order to prevent his opponent from sealing off his wall. However, having opened barracks first, FanTaSy was able to easily defend the rush by pulling some SCVs and blocking the ramp to his main base. Artosis and Tasteless jokingly commented that it was one of the worst performances that they had ever casted, but Hyvaa still managed to defeat FanTaSy in the Best of 3 using better executed cheeses.
• Starred in one of Khaldor's videos showcasing his APM.
• hyvä(ä) means "good" in Finnish, the name came from a Korean gum (휘바) commercial.
