WarCraft 3 Progamer Park "Go)Space" Seung Hyun passed away on this Monday. I don't know how many people here followed the WC3 pro scene but I'm sure as fellow gamers we can appreciate a guy who played at an extremely high level with a disease. He never let such a terrible disease hold him back from doing what he loved.

Also, here's an interview with him that was posted on TL a few years ago: Interview

Excerpts:

Seung Hyun Go)Space Park is no new name in the international Warcraft community, as he has played for the once commendable Team NoA. However, a large portion of the community does not know that the undead player was diagnosed with a rare inveterate muscle disorder which caused him to be disabled at the young age of 11...

...Space understands that there is no remedy for his disease, hence his only wish is to become the greatest Warcraft player.

^My dream is neither not to become a pro-player nor be healthy. But I hope to be the best player in WC3 which is the only thing I can do now to make my family proud.^

^I know there is no cure for me and I do not believe in miracles. I just want to play this game for fun by doing my best and become an undefeatable player and a strong son for my mom^ he says.

I was never a WC3 player, so I'd never heard of him, but from that article, seems like he was a great guy. RIP

I remember him, I was blown away when I first learned of the condition he had. And he played so well despite of it. Rest in peace.

I was really sad this morning.. I left the WC3 scene long time and I kind of forget about a lot of players, especially Space. IT makes me sad now, but nothing I can do. What I remember though, is that propably 4 years ago there was few articles saying he has only few months to live. Looks like he fought bravely.

RIP
