Which players were given 'end of an era' honor? TaeJa's 'end of an era' honor is true and worthy. What he accomplished in his time playing was a revolution. His freaking amazing tenacity to fight back, win vs broodlord infestor, or his ability to beat the best of the best when he was counted out from the very beginning, deserves 'end of an era' honor. 17-0 at Dreamhack.

See a pattern here?

3 players who hadn't had many decent results in over a year and one who had been hinting about retirement for years?

Its not said every time, it just so happens that the most recent retirements have actually been massive. Flash/Rain/MarineKing/Sen/Taeja/MC (who unretired but still) all represent different eras in Starcraft and really do signify the end of an era

That's the last tournament he'll be playing before retirement according to himself.

Thank you Taeja for waving the TL Banner for so long!

You inspired allot of players and fans with your playstyle, perseverance and mindset. One of the best Terran players worldwide, I wish you all the luck, prosperity and happiness in the future.

I hope you let us know how you are doing in a while!

I'm sad to see him retire. My most 3rd favorite terran in starcraft ever, after Flash and Iris
TL loses its legendary players. Let's hope someone form current rooster lives up to Teaja and HerO.

Acutally yea. Look at last performances of Polt and Hydra... and compare Teaja, he is still young and with his potential he could rule western WCS for years to come.

Thanks for everything Taeja, you were always an antagonist in my eyes, but you were a great one and I loved you for it.
