Goodbye old friend, you will be dearly missed.

A few of his best moments across the years.

Beating (P)Rain and (Z)soO in back to back ace match vs SKT in the 2011-2012 hybrid proleague s2 playoff, CJ ended up winning the championship and herO stayed CJ ace player until the end of proleague.
+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +


Deifying Kespa by responding to (Z)Stephano "gl hf" in proleague and turning down the automatic victory. It also mark an exception as it is one of the only time where a pause wasn't herO's doing.
+ Show Spoiler +


Overcoming (Z)HyuN on his way to the IEM Katowice final (g4 in particular)
+ Show Spoiler +


Breaking (Z)Snute immaculate swarm host style with non stop warp prison harrassment
+ Show Spoiler +


Beating a not-yet-kong (Z)Dark to finally win his first Korean tournament.
+ Show Spoiler +


Stopping (P)Rain on his GSL-SSL unification tour, claiming his second 4-3 victory over the calm archangel with true pvp bullshit. herO would go on to stomp (Z)ByuL to win SSL and finish the year as the no1 seed in Korea, almost 2000 point in front of second place (T)Maru.
+ Show Spoiler +


Beating SSL and soon-to-be GSL and GSLvsTW champ (T)INnoVation as well as (T)TY to claim the best tvp in the world and reach his 5th IEM final.
+ Show Spoiler +

+ Show Spoiler +


Not yet done! An underappreciated herO lead TSG to a chinese team championship victory with win over (Z)Solar and (P)Patience culminating into a nail biter final map.
+ Show Spoiler +


There are many, many more great games from one the best protoss player SC2 has ever seen. Also fitting that it ended at the hands of (P)Classic, the man who now has eliminated him in his 3 Blizzcon appearances.

Excellent summary.

Truely one of the greats good luck herO.

I only recently realised that herO is the most "special" SC2 player imo.

His intuition in understanding the game, even in unique/rare situations is the most impressive and inspirational thing in SC2 to me. He has the best micro imo too. I loved watching him decicively commit to attacks that could only work with amazing micro and pulling it off. To me, watching him play felt like art more than watching any other.

He was never my favourite player, it was only yesterday when describing the styles of the sc2 players to my gf that I realised how amazing herO really is.

He is the only Protoss in the top 10 for winrate vs Koreans offline this year. He was the highest rated on aliguliac in PvZ when he narrowly lost to Reynor and Classic became the highest rated in PvP after winning vs him. I am sad to see him go out like that, I strongly feel like he deserved to win vs Reynor. Sad.

Best wishes smiling assassin.

It’s always counted against him, that his games are somehow sloppy or whatever. That he so consistently drags the game and his opponent with him into weird territory and then wins is testament to his fantastic Starcraft brain.

He’s been doing it for over half a decade and some people don’t give him the credit he deserves vs other Protoss legends who play more standard like Stats and Classic.

Sad to lose herO, but man, he gave us some great games in a fantastic career! Even his final series was a great watch, er most of the games anyways.

herO seemed very classy the way he comfortably chatted with Classic following what might be his final elimination.

In terms of post-service comebacks, I really want to pull for Taeja. He has the kind of talent and desire that should be able to find its way in an alien-meta. As others have mentioned though he also has to battle his wrist injury and that might not be something that can be overcome on drive alone. If anything though, that should make him all the more fan-worthy.

His Rivalry against sOs made the most interesting games of all. Glad to have seen those games. Same with Maru v TY.

The Smiling Assassin will truly be missed. Nobody plays Protoss in a way that makes the opponent want to uninstall the game at the highest levels. Good luck in the military and looking forward to your return!

Classic, herO, it's rough for the protoss of Korea...
Who's still here? Trap, Stats, Zest and Parting right ? And only Stats/Trap might be top tier.

edit : ofc he was an amazing player, I'll never forget how much I hated seeing his blink stalkers destroying left and right my favorite zergs in 2015.

Stats and Zest are same age as herO, so probably will be going soon as well
