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.

He announced he was retiring soon but never actually did it.

For years straight. Which is why I didn't really think he'd go through with it when the TL preview for his Ro8 match against Zest said it might be his final match.

to be very honest and slightly depressing....

TL's SC2 team seemed to be taking a backseat compared to other games.

One last run where he goes to the round of 8 by accident would be hilarious.

The best player to have never won a GSL. He was too busy winning everything else.

As an EG (rip) fan, I could never "support" TaeJa, but I truly thank you for all the great games over all these years! One of the few players who has left me jaw dropped with his play on multiple occasions.

TaeJa's run of 27 straight maps without losing (including a perfect Dreamhack run) in 2014 is just one of the countless feats that come to mind. Thanks TaeJa!

The end of possibly the best player of all time judging by raw skill alone.

Life vs Taeja, never forget this beautiful rivalry.
In term of pure skill, I rank him above mvp and any other player except Life, this guy's play gives me so many chills.
It is such a shame that he never won a GSL because he has totally the level for it.

An incredible player. The only guy who ran the foreigner circuit but played with the skill of a #1 player in the world.

Honestly my favorite korean player of all time, in brood war or in sc2. I just loved watching him play.

I still have an image saved with Taeja at #1 in TLPD. This is quite depressing ;_;

Was always a fan of the guy. He really did keep powering through no matter what everyone else had projected for him. Good luck with everything in the future!
