People felt this way up till the moment he won his first OSL and finally after his entire career gave him a little bit of credit standing there after having defeated the most accomplished player of all time. Then right after his greatest moment he loses 3:0 to what would become the best Protoss player of all time. At this point Savior had two options: 1) Play his ass off so he could likely become like Nada was after Nada had won OSL/MSLx3 and got to the finals over and over only to lose to Iloveoov. 2) Say fuck it to the majority of people that hated him for being that good, get some hookers, and walk out on the majority of sc fans that couldn't even appreciate him for being that good. In Starcraft for one moment we saw real perfection and we threw it away because perfect wasn't good enough for us. So I'm not bothered when Savior picked the second option omninmo. Because maybe when he left like he did we all realized we didn't deserve him. You pretty much said everything that needs to be said right here. Thread can be closed now. | ||

Ironic that Savior needs a savior from the path of night? Perhaps Rekrul can show his good side instead of corrupting people. | ||

And when a player I don't like retires, I've never thought, "Oh, I'm going to miss him. I can't believe he left and I never knew his greatness." Usually, I just think "Fuck yeah!"  | ||

Now multiply you by the majority of the Starcraft community at the time and why the fuck would anyone want to keep playing. I applaud Savior for making the right choice. | ||

I just stated my stance that not everyone thinks Savior is God like his fanboys, so it's not like haters will somehow start loving him if he leaves the game. That's just such an absurd assumption. Btw, I'm not actually a Savior hater. I did dislike him back when he was beating the crap out of my boy Stork left and right. But that was a long time ago. Right now, I don't feel either way about him. | ||
