Following his failure to get out the groups at Intel Extreme Masters Kiev, it seems that Team Liquid's Song "HerO" Hyeon Deok is having a very public crisis of confidence.

Posting on his Twitter account just moments ago, the player seemed dejected about his performance at the event that had seen both Feast and Dimaga progress ahead of the South Korean.

Somewhat candidly he posted on his Twitter account:

I'm too bad , I don't know how to solve this problem ...lost confidence again

It didn't take too long for the bros to arrive for some manly pats on the back and words of encouragement though. Everyone's favourite Canadian Chris "HuK" Loranger was on hand to give a much needed boost to HerO's ego:

He immediately responded:

You need to stop being such a fucking punk and listen to every1 around you, every1 that knows and lives with u knows that your one of the best protoss in the world right now, just believe in us; believing in you. you were at DH and NASL and u wil be in gsl and other tournaments, just get back practice hard; and destroy everything. long career still

Whether or not retirement was being hinted at by the Korean, the words - that seem to amount pretty much to "man up" - seem to have worked.

Subsequent tweets read:

Yes, I agree your opinion @LorangerChris , i was thinking wrong things after lose. Well maybe i had so high expectation about tournerment everytime . It is bad right? ok , i will try to fix something ..!and thanks a lot my fans ,and friend @LorangerChris !

Doesn't e-sports warm your heart sometimes?
