He is the only one who got the titles at WCS Global Finals twice and further, he had seven Premier Tournament titles, he was so loved by fans with the representative nickname “Big Guy”.

We Team NV were an honor to be able to share sOs’s last moment as Starcraft2 Progamer.

Damn, I know the last years were rather tough for somebody thriving in creative builds, chaos and getting into the minds of his opponents.
Still, sad to see him go.
For me sOs was at his best when game wasn’t mapped like it is now. When there was room to do something weird, unexpected. Remember his first finals (against Inno iirc)? He lost, but he showcased such unorthodox play it was hard to not be entertained.

One really has to wonder how much longer the Korean scene will exist. GSL has been the same group of players with the occasional returnee from the military.

Congratulations to him on his next stage of life (military/professional career, whatever it may be). Thankful for him on having some fantastic games, championships, premier wins and other moments in between over the years. He has left a huge mark on the game and landscape of SC2.

2015 Blizzcon final vs Life in that yoyo series
