I had so much fun seeing him going for the late game vs protoss as the only terran. There was this game on whirlwind I think. I can't remember who is was against.

The most famous one? Rain. Sniping observers for days.

What a legend. Some day, there will be a player to mimic that sort of legacy. Can't wait to see who it'll be.

This one hurts. This one REALLY hurts. He was by far my most favorite Terran player for the longest time. Not just because he was on Liquid but also because this guy really had what it took to become the best. It really sucked that he never won a premier tournament in Korea but TaeJa always had a hold on my heart regardless. I'm so sad to see you go TaeJa.
I still remember the first time I ever saw you face-to-face. It was during BlizzCon of 2014. Bumblebee walked into your hotel room late at night and Bumblebee sat down on your legs while you were sleeping because the room was dark and he didn't realize you were there. You woke up in pain and started frantically yelling for him to get off. I had to turn away and almost walk out of the room to keep myself from bursting out with laughter.
Thank you for all the amazing matches. Thank you for all the memories. I truly wish you best of luck in your future endeavor. Long live Liquid`TaeJa. One of the greatest the world of SC2 has ever seen T-T

TaeJa was (and probably still is) the last bastion of the defensive macro terran. Even this most recent GSL, opening CC first 3 rax into 3rd CC against Zest. I doubt well ever see anyone play the way he did again. I cant say I don't enjoy watching Maru rip everyone apart, but there's something beautiful and striking about his patience and vision. Always absorbing everything on his side of the map with ne'er a surprise to be found. I can't truly explain it, but I'm sure stuchiu could.

Farewell TaeJa, and good luck!
