More terrible news. I always tried to copy the "Junwi massage" whenever I played as zerg, but nobody could do it quite like him. Those slow overlord lurker drops were the stuff of nightmares for many pros. R.I.P.

Very sad news. I read his liquipedia article and looked up his TLPD and without a question he was a great player. I hope that people playing starcraft now will still remember the people who helped pioneer the game and helped it grow.

I just watched a few of his vods from the 2003 cube league and from the 2002 Panasonic (inc?) league.

When he won, he always made his opponent look bad. His wins were so dominant.

He was such a big inspiration to me growing up. =(
The strange thing - is we are almost the same age.
He was a kid when he was my hero. How neat.

I'm really depressed now, one of my favorite zerg players in the early days. So smart, brilliant thinker, strategy master planner, at one point he was really dominant. Your ensnares on terran wrights shall not be forgotten. RIP brother

His game against Reach on that red tileset match in the Cube 2003 r04 is one of the scrappiest zerg games in history.
I remember watching it live.
I was so depressed all game ... until....

May we celebrate his accomplishments. Pictures, replays, vods. Let's post some here?

Here is game 1 of what was a brawl of a match.

People think he committed suicide judging by the forums and reports, it is sad regardless, RIP Junwi from saM, true legend.
