At his peak, one of the more pleasing protoss players to watch in my opinion. Genuine style and flair, to go with skill.

Agreed! Sad to see him go

He wasnt mentioned once in the TL community GOAT

Maybe he isn't the one of the all time best players but his impact on the game and the scene in general is up at the top.

Pretty much. It was always awesome to see him do well.

Sad, but expected - he stopped streaming and when he did you could see his frustration about his current skill level. He tried to get back and I respect him for that even more.

During his prime he was just amazing player to watch, with his signature Warp Prism. Good luck HerO in your future endeavors.

His skill at maneuvering phoenixes against mutalisks was exceptional too.

Sad to hear, but to be honest I didn't see him play in more then a year so I can't say I'm shock.

yeah it's true, because he lacked consistency

but he really was the type of player that could beat anyone at any time and wouldn't even be that surprising

Sad to see another oldie go. He may be gone, but imo he played possibly the best TvP series of all-time to close out one of the greatest tournaments we've ever had in sc2.

(Keep in mind Polt had already defeated Classic and Rain to reach HerO)

I remember when he first broke into GSL by eliminating DRG in the qualifiers when DRG was the hottest up and coming secret ladder hero. but on the consistency point then HerO got pulled out to snipe DRG in GSTL soon after and failed miserably.

Definitely a fun style of play to watch

All the best! Take care.

Another iconic player retires. HerO you were an anchor for Team Liquid. It's been a pleasure watching your games over the years. Thank you for all of the great memories Liquid`HerO!

If you ever watched HerO stream, you knew he was one of the most talented guys playing the game. There was like a fluidity and speed to his movement that was hard to follow. Good luck HerO!

I remember this guy from Squirtle's royal road run (that failed) in GSL. Surprised that he did so well overseas - more earning than herO as of today. But it's a shame (not for him) that he left Korean scene.
