Ace vs Moon at IEM Championships back in 2011(?) was the event that really got me into watching StarCraft as a sport and motivated me to learn how to actually play the game at a higher level (bronze to diamond).

Even though he never had any high level GSL type success his builds were unique and his games in my opinion were the most fun of any Zerg at the time to watch.

I've been hoping that he will come back at some point and join some big team but looks like he won't. Not too surprised but still really sad. Also, here's a little teaser video of that event if OP wants to add it to the main post.

Watching Moon play WC3 was always such a treat. Perhaps both the biggest innovator and most accomplished WC3 player of all time.

Wasn't the same watching him play SC, maybe because he was such a GOD at WCIII. Thanks for all the memories!

He never really got anywhere in sc2, but his wc3 games were awesome!

Probably my favorite player of any RTS =\. Still felt he could have been amazing at SC2 if he went all in. I stole so many of his builds whenever I rolled NE.

Always loved watching Moon play SC2, not sure why. I didn't watch his WC3 games, since i never played WC myself. I read a bit about him on Liquipedia though and was impressed with his results (as well as Grubby's) in WC3.

Anyway, all the best though.

I remember watching him since he first won (as Moon[FaiRs]) in the first MBC Prime League. From there, he became a legend by being one of the most succesful, innovative and dominant programers of all history.

Long live the 5th race!

I wish Tod and Grubby would do some English commentary for this event.

I've watched the Razer APM demonstration video with Moon and Nada at least a dozen times.
Moon is a baller.

Aww, as an old school orc player I used to hate moon. Through the years I've watched him play hard and give it his all. The guy is an inspiration to us all and it's sad he's leaving. From war3 to sc he's always been a strong competitor. I'll hate to see him leave, :-(
