[edit] Biography
RorO was an A-team Zerg for WeMade FOX in Brood War, often being sent out as the team's ace player, but tending to fare poorly in individual leagues. Following the team's dissolution he moved to Samsung KHAN.
RorO's overall record hovered at almost exactly 50% win-loss throughout his career, with no outstanding or particularly weak matchups, and for this reason he was occasionally referred to as the "Coinflip Zerg" by foreign fans. He was considered by many to be much stronger than his 50% ratio indicated, as a disproportionate number of his games pitted him against the very best player on the opposing team.

RorO played his first SC2 official match during the hybrid 2011-2012 Proleague Season 2.[1]
[edit] World Championship Series
[edit] 2012 WCS Korea Nationals
As one of the KeSPA invites for the WCS: South Korea Nationals, RorO would be matched up against Hack in the first round and become the second KeSPA player to win a match in the tournament. RorO would follow that up by defeating Leenock 2-1 in the second round while his teammate Reality fell, therefore becoming the only remaining KeSPA player in the winner's bracket. He would fall in the next round with a 1-2 loss to Squirtle, but would eventually go on and dispatch Miya, herO, and the defending GSL champion Seed in the lower bracket before falling to Creator to secure fourth place, and a seed into the WCS: Asian Championship.
[edit] Global StarCraft II League
With his success in the hybrid Proleague, RorO would be one of the four KeSPA Code A seeds for the 2012 GSL Season 4[2]
RorO would play in 2013 Global StarCraft II League Season 1 Code S where he was put into group F with MarineKing, Mvp, and KeeN, RorO would advance in second and be put into the RO16 group D. His group had PartinG, Life and BBoong in it, he would go on to top the group 2-0 in series (4-2 in maps). In the round of 8 he would be pitted against MC in which he also won with a very close 3-2 score. The semifinals against Taeja he won with a 4-1 score putting him against Symbol in the finals. After taking an initial lead against the Azubu Zerg by winning three games in a row, Symbol fought back and brought the score to 3-2. However, his efforts were not enough, and RorO was able to close out the match in the sixth game with a score of 4-2 to secure the championship. This marks the very first GSL title obtained by a KeSPA player, as well as the end of the Wings of Liberty GSL tournaments.
[edit] Trivia

- RorO is the first player associated with KeSPA to reach the Code S finals, where he beat Symbol 4-2 to become the first KeSPA GSL champion and the last Wings of Liberty GSL champion.
