I'm actually really touched and inspired by him. Was real and truthful, made the most of what he had, didn't let anything hinder him, made one goal and set out to achieve it. I'm no Warcraft expert but watching some videos, he definitely made it true. A true role model.

Rip.

RIP. Not even a week ago I talked about him with a close friend while we where reminiscing about the old WC3 days.

This was some of the SADDEST news I heard on the Internet last night. This guy basically invented my matchup vs Elf and put me in to a very respectable position in the AU community. His control was exceptional and when I heard that he couldn't even bind units due to his disability I was gobsmacked. The guy definitely had pro-level control and was playing without what I thought was a necessity.

The community has lost an amazing personality.
I'm sure someone might be able to dredge up some of his better play. One video stands out to me is where they manage to get him to a LAN event (keep in mind that at this stage he could only move his fingers and neck) and they have to hoist him on to the stage in his wheelchair. Crowd was awestruck.

RIP Park Seung Hyun T_T.

We had a guy in my school in third grade with the same affliction. The amount of mental fortitude it must take just to make it through a normal day is tremendous, let alone to do so and keep a positive attitude. My respects.

Knew about his condition since that article on Gosugamers 5 years ago or so...For some reason, since I still follow the TFT scene, and I didn't see his name come up in a long time, I was wondering if the time had already come (this thought came up in my mind more than once during the last years actually). And now this...really heartbreaking. He seemed like an amazing guy for the simple fact that he never tried to market his disability to gain fans : he wanted to be the fucking best and that's what mattered to him. Not fans, not money, not pity : he wanted to be known for his skills, and he was.
And then you have people like "ZilionOP", the scum of the earth, playing a casual game where skill doesn't matter, who uses bots, and begs everyday for money for a disability he doesn't even have. I think this guy should be forced to read Space's biography every fucking night before he sleeps.
Rest in peace Space, because even if a freaking unknown french guy behind his computer knows you and feels sad right now, it's not because you were a disabled person, but just because you were an amazing undead player, and that's what you always wanted.

Sorry to hear that. Never heard of him but his story touched me.

I remember people randomly making fun of gamers posting one of his pictures on a facebook page a while ago, without having any idea of who he was and what he was playing. I didn't know about him and ignored it as a usual bad joke about "nerds". I feel so bad and angry right now and ashamed for those guys, it's disgusting.

RIP
