HerO was the one who really invented the full macro PvZ back in the early WoL days while protosses back then were frightened to expand early on 3 bases. If you don't believe me, watch some Day9 analyses. Most of the creative protosses always pointed him as an inspiration.
Very often I was so pissed of how emotional he is and he was not able to finish with an Code S trophy mainly because of that. But I guess this is part of his unique personality which determines who he is. As soon he ended his partnership with TL team I suspected that he will retire soon. After all HerO got plenty of time for some glory and I don't feel bad for him. For the statistics only Taeja is more successful as a player from this calliber.

Liquid HerO vs. Zenex Life, game 4, Antiga Shipyard. That's when I fell in love with HerO. So many great memories, thank you, HerO! GL HF in the future
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Why the ban?

Also no he left liquid but didn't retire, just was teamless in Korea. :/ He deserved better, really enjoyed his play even though I was a zerg player. Gonna miss watching this nerd.

Yeah, I don't really get the reasoning for the ban.. I doubt there was any malicious intent, I thought the same thing when I saw the title.. Guess it's cause he hasn't played in anything for a long time.

Anyways, best of luck in the future.

Met him a couple of times at Events in germany and was even allowed to share a cigarette with him haha

Was sad back than when he stoped playing so the announcement right now does not hit me that hard, but i am still very sad.

Will miss those times!
Hope he reads some stuff here in the forum.

You will be missed! Best or luck for your future and keep it up!

Hmm sadly it was to be expected, as I have only seen him streaming pubg lately (I might have been looking at wrong times though).

Sad to see him go. I came to the scene after his highest point but you could always see some good games of him.

I knew he left Liquid a while ago and then tried to qualify for the GSL, but after that I thought he had sort of unofficially retired.

Those bans are absurd. I was a huge Liquid and Hero fan when I still actively followed the scene and I thought he had retired a while back already too.

Same. He has been marked as inactive on aligulac too, so I don't think it is unusual to think that.

Anyway, thanks HerO for all the great games and all the best in whatever follows next!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Don't really get the bans going on here, pretty ridiculous...

Best of luck to him, I will always remember his Immortal/Warp Prism micro against Life (source here).

It's ok. Maybe it sounded kind of rude. Hero was really entertaining player back in his prime.
