Without a doubt one of the greatest thing ever posted on this website, if only because reminded me of "Style Start Sbenu".

Altought I can't believe you draged Departure from the abyss without mentionning the day of the greatest triumph of Korean SC2 when arguably the worst player in proleague flew to London to trash MLord, Bunny and Snute and win Gfinity.

Who was that? This one even snuck past me despite being way closer to home than most SC2 tournaments!

Ah fine right up, those really were the days…

Holy shit that has to be one of the most unexpected results ever in SC2 lmao. A tournament with Jaedong, Snute, First, and TRUE and Departure won it? Incredible

Man i had such high hopes for Sora after WCG and going into that season, but then, as always with CJ, things fell apart spectacularly... (Also see Savior in BW, reminiscent of the Bbyong debacle, albeit much worse ofc)

The hybrid proleague was an abomination but us CJ folks don't have much else...

It's not arguable, he absolutely wasn't. Whether we go by record (among many others Solar had a worse record), or by skill (TANGTANG existed).

Well, he was 3-12 all-time when he won the event. So, you know, probably not actually the worst, but you get my gist, it was hilarious.

Hey, I remember watching that DeParture game against herO. At the 20:49 mark in the video of DeParture's win linked above, you can see Sora on the CJ Entus team, another player who had an unforgettable Proleague showing in which he took down an opponent with a clever strategy.
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.

In case you were interesting, Uji (formerly of BESTie) is still making content on her YouTube here and there. Her voice hasn't dropped off a bit.
