I last played SC with any regularity about 6 years ago and at that point I somewhat followed the pro-scene (as well as you could, vods were tough to come by). About 2 years ago I stumbled onto Klazart and have been following the pro scene ever since. He brought an energy to casting unlike any other English speaking commentator. Infact, I think he captured the spirit of the Korean commentators perfectly, nobody else got quite as excited as Klazart. He will be missed.

Sad day, man. I vividly remember the OSL final best vs. july, with him, cholera and moletrap (in a car). What a great night that was! He got me into SC again, for that I'm ever thankful.
Cheers, Klaz!

I discovered Klazart when he started casting games in English and ever since that day i look forward to seeing Klazart commentaries. Even now if there is a new one I take time to watch it. Because Klazart brings enthusiasm to his casts and I love the witty comments he makes about the situations in hand.

And for that Thank You Klazart.

Commentating is just about entertainment. In the end the commentator's "good" if the audience likes it, and "bad" if the audience does not. If Klazart entertains his audiences, why is he bad?

Just because the man gets a million things wrong in every commentary doesn't he's bad. It just means you're not his target audience.

Anyway, I think the only commentary of his I remember was the famous FBH vs Savior MSL series. Which was decent.

I can only listen to about 30 seconds of klazart commentary before going insane. It beats combat-ex at least.

Goodbye Klazart. His commentaries were the only english ones i'd pretty much always listen to.

What's with people and 'retiring' from their hobbies. Let's just state for the record that you don't 'retire' from a fucking hobby. You just stop doing it for a while.

Internet peoplez take themselves too seriously.

edit: Oh, and BISSSSUUUUU BUILLLDDD
