Damnit Heart, can't you just kinda sorta unofficially fade out of conscience like other pros? That way I wouldn't have to live with all them horrible Heart puns. Wish you luck.


Shame he didn't manage to split like that this year.

Epic video, added to the OP, it just fits so well .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

While I sort of expected it after Axiom disbanded and no news of a new team for him, it still saddens me, he gave us quite a few magical games in HotS, I wish him the best of luck in the future.

You might think that build doesn't make sense, and your right, it didn't and he lost the game. Since then I always viewed him as a guy who had no idea what he was doing, and his 1/1/1 style didn't want me to give him more credit. However, after the release of HOTS he has looked a lot more solid.

And that's kinda shame because I like the idea that you can distuinish players between being intelligent (like MVP was - first guy who actually understood how you should design build orders - everyone else just did random shit) and players who doesn't use their brain while playing (most notably MKP). Different types of players makes it more interesting to follow the scene.

That's a bit harsh! MKP uses his brain when he plays, he's just... stubborn sometimes.

this one hit me like a truck so sad to see him retire but he probably lost confidence this year, couldn't get the results like last year
god among men with his splits when on top of his game.

Good luck Heart

Well at least Xigua threw that one game against him so we can remember him for something.

Good luck in the future.

The first pro player I ever got an autograph from. Heart always seemed like an optimistic sort who truly enjoyed the time he spent playing professionally. My hope is that his name isn't lost in the shuffle of esports history.

This leaves Ryung as the last professional to carry the torch of Axiom. Fitting, in a way, as he was the star of the team at its peak.

Wow at the notion progamers don't use their brains while playing...


Have you watched MKP play? Or read interviews with him? He is an intuition based player. He has made comments like "I don't need to scout, because I can "feel" what is right to do". He is not the guy who makes deep analysis based on timings and figures out optimal decisions in various scenarios. He is the guy who applies builds that works on the ladder to tournaments without understanding under which conditions the build works.

And when someone rushes a planetary when you could just mine from the natural, it's obvious that the guy about how you actually design builds.

But this is exactly what made the scene interesting to follow in the first year of 2011. For me they were never faceless koreans, but players with very differnet weakness's and strenghts, and it was fun to watch their development.
