i remember back when he was at the end of his competitive peak it was still really fun to watch him use warp prisms and multitask. the kind of player that makes watching fun, like a maru or life

it's players who make the game fun to watch, not balance or races

I had the honor to play Hero at Dreamhack Summer 2011. I actually thought I had him beaten in game 2. Then a wild mothership appeared and I lost the game in embarassing fashion... :<

+ Show Spoiler +


Thanks for all the great games HerO. You will be missed!

Sad to see HerO go, but I guess it doesn't come as a big surprise. He was a player who showed such brilliance at times, I always remember feeling like his nerves got in his way. He also always seemed like he had a fresh and different approach to what everyone else was doing. Glad he's getting some love and good memories in this thread.

This makes me incredibly sad, as I met HerO at a lan almost 5 years ago and he was super nice and humble. Even smoke a cig with him between some of his matches. I will never forget his reaction winning Dreamhack, pure euphoria. One of the most likable players in the whole scene for a long time. Good luck to him in everything he does.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

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)




This was the event when I met him in person. I found out that he smoked, and back then, I smoked, too. Golden times, I was part of that "crowd" and I remember JD actually crying prior and after his Sick Nerd Baller award. Those were good times.

Thank you, HerO.

Congrats on a long and successful career. As others mentioned before, I'll remember you for being an anchor on Teamliquid/EG and bringing gaming chairs to Korea. I'll also remember the wild hairdos, the amazing Dreamhack runs, warp prism micro, and the incredible series vs Polt. I know you always got really nervous in games, but it was great to see a pro battle with the same emotions us viewers have when playing the game.

Congrats and enjoy your retirement. GLHF in the future, keep us updated!

This! I'll always remember his face when he won Dreamhack.

Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Yep he really was an icon back then, and really had that star flair to go with his skill. He's damn handsome too

GG HerO and all the best for your future ventures!!
