One of his most memorable match from him, at least for me:

Why so serious?

Funny thing about this match. It happened on the first day of my trip to Korea in 2017. I had an interview to do before the match that ran long so I didn't show up at the FreecUP stupio until partway through the first game. About half way through game two the people at Afreeca grabbed me so I could interview GuMiho for TL so I had to stop watching to go upstairs. I didn't know what was going on in the Classic soO match, but about 30 minutes later soO shows up having already match. What a first Code S experience.

I took a long break from watching starcraft regularly through most of the 2010s, so it's weird to me that people describe him as a GOAT - I remember him being the weak link for SKT1 sometimes in team BO7's in Brood War. I watched a few of his better games on Youtube though and agree he's become a beast.

I saw it live when soO showed what kind of person he was after losing to Gumiho, I have never felt someones actual earnest personality come through a 2D screen as clearly as it did then.

I also cried seeing him conquer IEM world championship, more than anything the players he defeated to win it made it even more amazing. SoO ZvZ coming back to knock out Serral before taking the gold medal was just like a dream come true.

I shed a tear everytime I watch that IEM winner's interview. Such a cathartic moment.

A great story of a great player.

Godspeed, soO!

Had to log back in to get in here.


soO is probably my favourite player of all time. Even though I might not be watching as much SC2 as before, I still followed him.

Who doesn't love soO? We'll miss him but the memory of him finally becoming the champion he deserved to be will last. Let's hope he comes back eventually and that his service is uneventful.

What a legend. Hope he does come back at some point, but he's already a hall-of-famer.

If i remember correctly, he said a few times in the past, that after military he might join Brood War.
Why so serious?

Greatest zerg of all time. Arguably the greatest player as well.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
