Letter to the Sky

Before the crisis

2005 had started brilliantly for Nada. Despite losing a bo7 MSL grand final to Gorush in YATGK MSL, he came back to defeat Gorush in the IOPS semifinals and then went on to win the finals over July in a convincing 3-0. Then things started to go wrong.

[image loading]

A shitstorm was just around the corner


Nada had qualified as a seed for both MSL and OSL and a 2/1 finish respectively meant that he was the heavy favourite to destroy in the upcoming season. But as per the OSL curse, he went 1-2 in his group and failed to qualify for the Ro8 in EVER 2005 OSL. But the real snag came in the form of Savior. As mentioned in my very first blog, the game showed a solution to Nada's SK terran style for Zergs and signaled the coming a tragic year.

[image loading]


Nada would then lose to Yellow in the loser bracket of Uzoo MSL and to Pusan in the Daum Direct ODT Rnd 2. Thus, Nada would be absent from both major leagues for the next season. But thankfully, he was still around from the Snickers All-Star tournament. On the 16th of July he would fight Yellow for the title, and came up short 2-3 (as written in my blog). But the worst was just around the corner.

[image loading]


On the 18th of July 2005, FiFo reported that Nada's dad had been killed in a car accident. An intoxicated driver preformed an illegal U-turn and collided with Nada's dad.

Life after Death

[image loading]


Nada was withdrawn from the P&C roster for the next two months giving him time to come to terms with what had transpired. The funeral service was held on the 20th of July and was said to be a particularly moving ceremony. All of P&C showed up to the funeral in support of Nada.

About 2 weeks later, Nada posted a poem on his fan cafe. The poem was originally translated by SpAnK[eM] and is in the format that Nada wrote the poem in.

Letter to the Sky

hi this is nada~..
hows ur life goin'?
i am drunk today too~
i am living life with drinks nowdays
u know when u drink, u feel better?
i was walking in the rain after having drinks with friend in the cafe

father's tear..

my dad always wanted to do some business...
had many failures because of those tries...
but before all those failures
he wanted the happiness of our family...
but... he couldnt...

my dad was very healthy...
very healthy... my dad was very strong...
he wasnt skinny like me
he was big..
and strong..
he never lost vs people
and when we were living in the name of poor
my father fought with gansters only with his 2 hands...

oneday my mother came back home with all bruises over her face
my dad grabbed a metal pipe
and gone to the corporation ..
he leaped over the fence to revenge for my mom...
its like that...
thats how much he loved our family
and thats how strong he was...

but.....

the 1 guy .... drinking driving... and by illegial U-turn
dad is in the sky now...

this isnt a destiny.. its an error of destiny...
an error of the sky...
the error that never supposed to be happend...

Return to Star

Nada's first game back was against Nal_ra in ODTR1. He dominated Nal_ra with a pure macro oriented style, lost to Cloud in the winners game, then defeated Nal_ra once more in a similar fashion. Whats important was that even though he had gone through intense tragedy, Nada was able to pull out a win and get through to the next round.

[image loading]


Unfortunately, Nada couldnt get much further. He slumped badly in Proleauge and lost 0-2 in ODT Round 2 and 0-2 in the 7th MBC Survivor. He finished out the year with a roughly 50% win rate in Proleauge, but there was something more special he did in the last months of the year.

Many of you will be familiar with the 'Make a Wish' Foundation who try to give terminally ill children one day where they can leave their illness behind and enjoy life. Nada, still dealing with the ordeal of his dad's death, did one of the most noble and honorable things a progamer has ever done, he got involved with the charity.

Nada began to work alongside the foundation and helped out their cause by volunteering himself to take some kids out during December of 2005 to treat them to a day of unparalleled joy.
"the experience even though it will be a short one for him, will forever change him. There is nothing more gut wrenching and noble than what he is about to do, he has courage."
- Entropy
Nada was inspired by the death of his Dad to reach out and help other people. When posed with the question about why he wanted to get involved in an interview he said;
"Help before it is too late"

Help others, before they are gone from this world. Like the premature death of his father who was now gone forever from this world. This act earned a lot respect from me towards Nada, it is such an amazing thing to do for the world, especially after a tragedy which could have ruined his life. He turned the negative into a positive, the mark of a true champion.

Nada's dreams come true

Nada started 2006 with a bang - going on a 5 game winning streak and passing the first stage of the 8th MSL Survivor. Then, thanks to an expanded league, Nada defeated Shark and Nal_ra in i-Station Dual tournament to qualify for Shinhan 2 OSL. At the same time he qualified for Pringles 2 MSL - Nada was back into both major leagues.

[image loading]


Nada's Shinhan 2 OSL run is something legendary. He 3-0'd his group (containing Light, Zergman and Jy). Went 2-1 against TT, 2-0'd Zergman, 3-0'd Goodfriend and found himself in the finals for a Golden Mouse. (Vods are at the end). His opponent? Anytime[gm] - a protoss abusing the legend of the fall to get to the finals.

[image loading]


After one of the most intense finals in a long time, Nada walked away victorious. He had achieved his goal and won in his fathers name - he had answered his Letter to the Sky.

The Prodigy was different. He coordinated an astonishing strategical move in a time of danger, and won. He called out his father's name, after the match. His father aided him all the way. Now, the era of Lee Yoonyeol has begun.

โ–ถIt's my first time shedding tears after winning the league. This is the best day of my life. I am so happy. I have never been happier. I never knew it would be this hard to climb all the way back to the top after having hit rock bottom. I also did not expect so many fans in Jaeju Island. I am very grateful.

โ–ถYes, it is my first time winning the Finals, with my mother seated as the audience. But, for this very victory, I give it all to my father, though he didn't make it. From now on, I will do my best for my mother.

โ–ถI had much confidence in the fourth set. (Oh) Youngjong was too good, and made me nervous in the fourth set. I had prepared 2 strategical plots(for Tau Cross), and the one I used in the last set was a deathblow move. When I hoped to be placed at 1 o'clock, and was actually placed at 1, I knew the goddess of triumph was smiling at me.

โ–ถThat strategical move eventually grants me advantage as long as I consistently attack, harassing the opponent. (Oh) Youngjong's decision to surrender GG was the correct choice. He must have thought he was going to lose, seeing he built Stargate.

โ–ถI was afraid I will lose focusing solely on the Golden Mouse. At the very last moment in the Finals, I wiped out all my obsessions directed at Golden Mouse. I only thought how I'd react after winning the match, and forgot about the Golden Mouse.

โ–ถMy championship shines more brightly only because Youngjong is on the other side. We shared conversations from as early as R24, that we should meet in the finals. We practiced with eachother until R16. We told eachother we should try harder to improve the E-sports, and I am happy to have done as we have said it. I give much thanks to Youngjong.

Great blog. This story is exactly why nada will, no matter what, always be my favorite progamer.

Honestly, I don't see how you could not be a fan of nada after reading that or knowing that story.
