Yeah I'd say wait for an official announcement. Especially since it involves a Liquid player.

Twitter != valuable source


Pretty much this. If TaeJa officially retired, then we'd hear something from the website.

how hero can say that after cologne?

That series vs Inno.... still makes me mad to think about it
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

you guys underestimate the toll that 7-10 years of playing an APM-intensive game has on one's wrists.

I've put in about 8,000 hours into the game, and I've had to take a lengthy break from playing due to the pain in my forearms, specifically my wrists.

there really needs to be some sort of innovation in the RSI field, because I can only see the problem worsening as more people acquire access to computers throughout the world.

imagine if our favorite players and progamers could have playing careers that lasted 20-30 years, instead of the 5-10 years they have now.


Or encourage them to go to the gym and do more than sit in front of a computer 10 hours a day. You don't have to be a progamer to injure yourself. Just take a look at the people sitting in an office job.


Or we can just accept that a lot of jobs come with occupational hazards. There is a lot you can do to avoid them, but sometimes it can just be inevitable.

Wrist issues are both preventable and treatable. My mother is a journalist and often types for several hours a day, and she developed wrist and hand problems as a result. She went to see a rehab specialist and now she's doing fine. For Taeja, it could be any number of reasons, or a lot of them accumulating. Regardless, I hope he doesn't stick around for too long. Esports is not a good place to get stuck.

maybe he sees that as a big deal for the survival of sc2 and thinks this is more important than getting free wins


If he really wanted to play entertaining games, he would have played different at Cologne. All the players play to win (except Naniwa)

Since watching Hero for the first time I always said this guy should play Terran, his play-style is amazing and so refreshing to watch considering he plays Protoss, the way he goes for heavy multitask <3. And with this tweet he stamps out his place as a true Hero (no pun) of RTS. <3 Thank you Hero

One does not necessarily preclude the other. I played SH vs toss and mech when I still played because I like winning. Didn't mean I liked the unit or the strategies it forces.

Life refused to play Daedalus. Soulkey plays aggressive SH, I doubt its because he doesn't understand how to turtle with them.

I agree that hero developing a conscience in time for his teammates loss is convenient, but better late than never.

To be fair, he wasn't going to lose $100k. He was a set of matches away... But IEM and its stupid prize bracket certainly doesn't help.

Just because he uses the build doesn't mean he can't comment that it is pretty strong and bad for viewers. Like you say, he plays to win.

Well cool down, you aggro hater

No, except his near permament wrist pain, nothing

To be taken with a grain of salt, in my opinion.

Though it does seem like a lot of pros are retiring...
I like words.
