Blessing! The former Korean first Terran turned bartender, ending a 7-year career as a Warcraft player
Attentive viewers must have noticed that the ID Chaemiko has not appeared in the Warcraft competition in recent months, and he has not participated in the Warcraft competition since the end of the WSB competition in March 2023. Many viewers were curious, did the former South Korean No. 1 Terran player want to take a break for a while, or was he too busy to play because he was busy with other things? Or simply retire and not fight Warcraft?
To this end, the Magic Altar Intelligence Bureau specially contacted Chaemiko to ask him about the latest situation. According to Chaemiko himself, he is now a bartender (working in a bar) and has no time to play games, and in the future he may occasionally live entertain on Twitch if his job stabilizes, but he may not participate in Warcraft tournaments much anymore.
Chaemiko was born in 1994 and is a well-known Korean Terran player who first competed in Warcraft in 2014, but that year he only participated in 2 online small cups, which was more entertainment. Chaemiko really started playing Warcraft frequently in 2016, the year he began his 7-year career as a Warcraft player.
When Chaemiko is mentioned, people naturally mention his operations. Chaemiko's team battle maneuvers are picturesque, and in terms of head-to-head combat alone, they are not even inferior to any of the top Terrans. But to say that Chaemiko left the deepest impression on the Warcraft audience, I am afraid that it had to be swept 7-0 by Moon's seven sets and seven different starting heroes, and the two classic scenes of being killed by wild monsters in the endgame.
After being beaten by seven of Moon's different starting heroes, Chaemiko once went outside the house alone to drink alcohol, and he began to doubt himself and wonder if he should continue to fight Warcraft. Later, he finally made up his mind to persevere, and since then he has been angry and strong, vowing to find himself again.
Since then, Chaemiko's performance has taken a big leap. In the Golden League offline match, he eliminated Fly to advance to the quarterfinals; In the spring of NeXT2021, he beat Lyn to win the third place in the T1 class; In 2021, he also beat 120 in the Special Cup to win his first professional individual title (T2 and above).
In addition, he has won the Fish Cup runner-up place, the Smile Cup runner-up, the ESL season runner-up, and reached the quarterfinals in several competitions. It was with these competition results that Chaemiko once became the "first Terrans" at that time and was regarded as the "hope of the Terrans".
In 2023, the situation has become even worse, Chaemiko has only received a good bonus in the Cup, and most of the rest he "studies with the prince", which may be an important reason for his career change.
In fact, Chaemiko's transition to becoming a bartender is not a recent idea. Chaemiko had this intention two or three years ago, and he had already obtained his bartender license by studying. Apart from Warcraft, music and alcohol are his biggest interests.
Talking about the future, Chaemiko said: "Warcraft is the most important game of my life, and if the work at the bar stabilizes, then I will take the time to come back and do some Warcraft live. ”
Chaemiko's love for Warcraft is undeniable, and his efforts are evident. It is precisely with this persistence and hard work that he has gradually grown into a top Warcraft player, and also gained honor and happiness from the game.
Now, Chaemiko has opened a new chapter in his life and hopes that he will also shine in new areas.
