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

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. 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 Oh man, so good. What a game. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

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) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET-rGiFL1ak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABg9llJJViU 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. | ||

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