Taeja, I'll miss you. You, Hero, and MC were my favorite Koreans and now it seems as though I won't be able to watch any of you any more. :'(

Good luck in your journeys, and thank you for the memories.

With MVP, Taeja, ForGG and QXC out of competitive I have no terran individual to cheer for. i am just a generic terran supporter.

I know how really good some other terrans are but I liked these guys for more than just skills,

Good bye Taeja.

to be very honest and slightly depressing....

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

To be honest the entire international SC2 scene has been taking a backseat since WCS... Unless Blizzard really do manage to crap brilliance with the series, I think it's safe for TL to move on to other games.

To me, Taeja almost all killing IM twice was the single greatest feat an Sc2 player ever achieved. And I doubt it will ever be reached.

Truly a legend.

I wish I had the Prayer of TaeJa handy right about now. My favorite player. Thanks for the games and the laughs. Was a great time watching you play some of the best games SC2 has ever seen.

Good luck in military training and your teaching career afterwards. Cheers senpai!

Aww man...my favorite player to watch is finally retiring...I'll always remember all the sick plays in HotS. He was definitely the king of micro/macro.

Good luck to Taeja in his next journey. Now I'm gonna go back and watch a bunch of reruns :'(

I will mis Taeja. Out of all Terran players I always found his style the strangest to understand. His reactive style seems to contradict the nature of Terran but he made it work. I will especially rember his game vs rain on whirlwind where he flipped the match on its head and made Terran look beastly in the late game. And of course his game vs innovation, possibly the best game of sc2 ever be played. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do next. : )

I personally don't think that one's any good.

First and foremost, the guy who made me watch streams and VODs about Terran (and by proxy, StarCraft II) even when I'd thought this was pointless. Ah, the times I cheered and giggled like a child seeing him play in big tournaments! You will be remembered, Liquid.TaeJa
