 ELIZA dates back from 2003, where he played for IS (Ideal Space, now Lecaf). He later on moved to eNature somehow in a ninja deal, and stood as more than just a player.
Thanks to Live2Win for helping me get what the jist of this is;
Long story short, the eStro vs STX game was to be his last match before retirement (retirement due to army enrollment... I guess he's not joining ACE?).
After the 0-3 loss the eStro coach went on stage and said something like "Thanks to all the fans who came to watch us and I apologize for not showing a better performance". Then he went on and said something along the lines of "A dear friend of mine must now join the army." And explained ELIZA's situation. ELIZA I guess was special to the eStro's coach as a friend/brother figure, so he prepared a special "good bye ceremony" for him, which was the dance.
The reporter (this report is more like a blog post than an article) said he laughed at the dance and was also moved and touched by it because he knew the eStro coach wanted to win that day so badly (and for ELIZA to win) just to show that dance.
This was the original article.

thanks for translating

Thanks for the translation. Sad to see another pro leave but oh well. I mainly only remember ELIZA from the one game he played vs FA on Luna during a pgt season. One of my favorite pvz's ever.

Cant blame the dude for trying but I always expect a lot more of these retirements.

uh, if you told me you were going to quote me directly I probably would have put in more effort there.

then why are terrible players like sunny, clon and rage in the team then? i'm pretty sure they weren't in the top 30 when they retired (maybe... doubt it though)

Oh noes! Idra won't have ELIZA to step up his TvZ!
On a more serious note, that sucks, damn army.

idk if Idra's info is correct or not though.

whether he sucked or not wasn't the point. when you're the one delivering the (bad) news you should at least try to remain impartial and show the guy a little respect.

Of course, definitely. Being a progamer definitely takes an indomitable will and incredible strength. Much respect to any progamer out there

Hmm, Oversky wasn't top 30 Kespa this year when he retired, since ACE had 1 player in Kespa at all the entire year in Daezang.
