Dragon Phoenix Gaming announced that they had signed (P)herO.

herO has always been a strong player in team leagues. He played for Triumphant Song Gaming and made significant contributions to the team's success, before leaving for military service in late 2019. He was back from the military just a month ago.

herO will fill in the team's Protoss quota, since (P)Zest may leave for military service at some point.

Source: scboy forum

DPG's current line-up:
(T)Cure
(Z)Dark
(P)herO
(Z)Rogue
(P)Zest

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I guess that makes Classic to KaiZi a realistic option, after all they'll need their own returning Protoss now to get even.

HerO, Rogue and Dark in the same team? Wow, I am so excited to hear.

DPG should sign in Gumiho as well.

As if DPG wasn't stacked enough already even with Zest on his way out due to military service in the future. At least it shuts down the rumors of herO possibly not coming back to playing SC2 after military service.

It's amazing how much progress military returnees have made in the last 18 months that they can be signed almost straight out of military. Would never have imagined it back when MMA, Taeja, fantasy etc were struggling

Congratulations to herO on signing with Dragon Phoenix Gaming.

Unfortunately I never saw his play as I took a hiatus from watching SC2 from 2013-late 2019, so the only "hero" I'm familiar with is formerly LiquidHerO.

Excited to see what DPGherO has in store for his post-military SC2 career.

Someone had to. Golden opportunity.
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.

Not sure about the performance of herO and Classic. It maybe that these guys are not great as they were.

I just watched him play against Special on his stream a few times. Seems like he is back in the grind and doing well. I can't wait to see him in action in the WTL or GSL later this year.

I've been told several times that we can't do that anymore, apparently. Technical constraints or something.

Yay! One of the first Tosses I've watched since HotS. I really liked his micro, mainly his Blink stalkers. Would love to see him do it vs PartinG.

Also, can't wait for the ChinToss to get a team. Any dominant team would do him good.

Hopefully next GSL these 2 try to qualify.

Damn this definitely hurts the chance of Classic joining DPG I wanted him to fill Zest's slot but maybe they still add him too who knows but I think Kaizi is probably the favorite to land Classic now.

I hope he will get even stronger this time around. And I hope his amazing smile is still a thing.

You don't think Shopify will want a top level Protoss?

I'm sure they do. Taking on a military returner is definitely a bit of a gamble though, not sure if a new team wants to do that.
