I'll admit I didn't really know much about HerO before he joined Liquid. I'm an incompetent protoss but ever since his first stream session I was hooked, the level of play was just something else and I was excited about the potential of such a great player. It took a while for him to see results but I never doubted his potential, it was always just a matter of time and a bit of luck.

Good for you HerO,

You are the turtle in the race you'll make the rabbits feel it :D
Yeah, some people thought he was just some korean protoss. But I tell you that these people did not watch him in his FXopen or his pvp's in GSTL back when he was still on oGs, and they certainly did not watch the amazing thing that was his stream. HerO 화이팅! (really hope that means fighting)

His stream didn't exist before joining Liquid so that would have been difficult to watch.


LOL - that's awesome Nazgul.

Good luck tomorrow Hero.

It took a while for him to see results but I never doubted his potential, it was always just a matter of time and a bit of luck.

I also believe he has grown as a player after joining team liquid. He was undeniable an extremely talented player at the oGs house, but he somehow did not perform at his best when it really mattered. He said himself in interviews, that it was a mentality issue that held him back for so long. It is also not easy to conquer these issues, when his only opportunity was at the GSL and a couple of online tournaments. Joining TL was probably the best thing that could ever happen to him. He got the best of two worlds, the familiar and strict training regime of the oGs, and the support from one of the best foreign teams. With TL came the support of his new team mates and more exposure. It kind of snowballed from there, and as so many have said before, it was just a matter of time before HerO would start winning tournaments.

I would really like to thank Nazgul and TheWind for thinking of what would be the best for HerO, and letting him join TL

When I played at a local LAN last weekend I randomed Protoss against the tournament favourite and while wearing my TL shirt i somehow felt so confident and transformed into cutting edge Liquid HerO. I was able to destroy my opponent in PvZ with a very strange 4 Gate Robo expand build, that turned out to be brutal, despite never trying it before. I sent my warp prism with 2 Sentries, one zealot and one Stalker to drop into the Zerg main, but my warp prism was scouted, and i was desperate. And suddenly i had 800 minerals, so i was thinking "man, i screwed this up hard", i just expanded, built 3 Zealots and 1 Sentry in my main and sent them to the enemy. The Zerg prepared correctly and had 6 or 7 roaches in his main to be undroppable. But my desperation force had arrived at his natural, i forcefielded the ramp, flew over the enemy main with my warp prism and dropped them into his natural to forcefield him into his main. When that worked and his natural was down i was so happy and just played a standard game to win.
I still feel happy and i'm very thankful to LiquidHerO for showing us such inspirational play! Yay!

I remember watching one of his first streams after he joined Team Liquid. I had a flight the next morning and I ended up staying awake the whole night watching him play. There was just something alluring about his play, whether it be the multitasking, the care he takes to each unit, and his somewhat flashy style (though this is mostly due to the fact that no protoss played the game like he did). Hero has brought in a new style of protoss that isn't just centered around a deathball and sitting on 3 bases but instead harassing expansions and constantly putting pressure with small groups of units. I loved watching him play and I just had a feeling he was going to be great :D

For certain he has grown since joining Liquid, but I think a large part of what helped is exposure - HerO didn't get much in the way of results in Korea prior to joining Liquid and never had many opportunities to show his talent. Outside of GSL there aren't many ways to make a name for yourself in Korea. If you read his biography on TLPro it sounds very similar to the time he spent as a BW practice partner and that he had doubts it was going to be a repeat of that in SC2. Liquid gave him many more opportunities to shine in tournaments, exposed his talent with his stream and helped grow his fan base immensely. It's that support and opportunity that has allowed him to shine as a player and start to win tournaments.

I remember watching huk practise vs hero on his stream way back. (One early GSL. I think it was vs San)

Hero beat HuK in every single game, and they played quite a few. Since then I've been keeping tabs on him.

P.S If anyone remembers hero was 1 point in the fantasy GSTL thing

Why not just be happy if Hero gets the opporunity to make more money? It's not like he would stop going to tournaments...

^ you all are not being happy enough for this thread!
-
I don't think you have any reason to worry about him leaving anyway. He's said before that he loves liquid and his team and doesn't plan on or want anyone else, and as far as I know, there's been no indication at all that that's changed.
