So will there be a wildcard tournament for Code A? Sad to see him go, I'll always remember when he never lost a map at that Dreamhack Summer.

For me, the best player I ever saw, although I never supported him. Congratulations on a great career and all the best Taeja, I'm glad I will never again have to see you beat innovation.

The things he has achieved despite his injury and the fact that he got ro8 at GSL without practicing a lot makes me wonder what he would have achieved without that injury.
Certainly the most talented player to ever touch sc2.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Question

Why is this only in the general forum? I almost didn't notice it. Sad news, but in the end it's expected. Best of luck TaeJa.

If he doesn't play this final GSL he's seeded into, it'll be interesting to see what Afreeca does.

Sad news . It's been years since I saw HerO and TaeJa in person and it never even crossed my mind that it would be for the last time. It felt like they would forever be part of Liquid.

Farewell Taeja. My proudest ESPORTS memory was getting absolutely murdered on ladder by his zerg, while he was levelling up an account warming up for some tournament. By some miracle i denied his third with a warpgate timing but then the Tasteless build failed me. That is one replay i will always treasure.

Didn't he retire twice before? Or am I getting this confused with plans to retire? Anyway, seems like a good decision for his health. Best of luck in the future.
