Jang "Moon" Jae-ho (born December 14, 1986 in Incheon ) is a South Korean e-athlete . He is particularly known for his success in the Warcraft III discipline , in which he is one of the most successful players ever. In total, he has won over 30 tournaments in his career.

After he was under contract with the German team mousesports at the beginning of his career , he switched to Meet Your Makers in 2006 . 2007 was his most successful year, winning over $ 150,000 in individual prize money at various tournaments. After separating from MeetYourMakers in 2009, he played for the South Korean clan WeMade Fox until they broke up in 2011. There he is said to have received a record monthly salary of 16,000 euros.

In 2011, he switched from Warcraft 3 to Starcraft 2 , which was released in 2010 . In January 2012, Fnatic announced the signing of Moon for Starcraft 2. In Starcraft 2, however, he was never able to repeat the great successes from Warcraft 3, although he still achieved second place each in the DreamHack and the Intel Extreme Masters .

In 2014 he interrupted his esports career to do his military service.
