Very nice to hear that he found a career outside of e-Sports.
As he always said at the end of his casts (or something similar to):

LIVE LONG AND PLAY STRONG!

Nooooooooooooo, Super Daniel Man! I'll miss your commentaries and talk of penetration. I love the way you pronounce "Jaedong".

? He pronounced it like any other Korean does

This is too bad, sometimes I didnt like the guy but you have to respect him, he's done a shitload for starcraft.


Yeah, find an English caster who pronounces names like they should be.

It's probably a master plan to convince the insurance's CEO to sponsor the next GOM

that guy worked hard to bridge the gap between the korean scene to the foreign communities, imo Idra and Ret wouldn't have had the opportunity to go down korea if Daniel didn't created Estro in the first place... Daniel deserves the respect of all who loves -esports.

whats gonna happen to tasteless now?

Thank you for everything that you have done for starcraft as a whole, you will be sorely missed and your contributions will not be forgotten.

Dammmmm, loved him, especially when they got that scrub to commentate the semis season 3 and he had to carry the entire thing by himself.

I do not think it can be overstated how big of a loss this is for the foreign StarCraft community. Even in Korea itself, there are very few people that have as much history with the Korean progaming scene as Daniel Lee does. In addition, he was one of the few people in Korean e-Sports who was open to the audience outside Korea. Overall, a dissapointing turn of events.

To be honest, I would not be suprised if his retirement from e-Sports is a consenquence of the dispute over GOMTV. With the league forced to end, GOM no longer has any use for commentators. On the other hand, his former affiliation with GOM preety much ensures that KeSPA will never allow him to work anywhere else in the Korean progaming scene.

I was hoping GOM would find a different way to continue supporting StarCraft events, such as another Star Invitational or sponsoring another MSL. But I guess Daniel Lee was forced to find a different line of work instead. At this point, I wonder if Tasteless will be forced to do the same.

Take care, Superdanielman. You will be missed.

Agreed, all the haters are probably the sames ones bashing Boxer for sucking, and not understanding what the men stand for in E-sports history.

Thanks for all the hard work, SDM.

The retirement of SDM is probably the final proof that the English version of GomTV now is officially dead.

First Korean Starcraft commentators I ever listened to were you two. Tasteless and Superdanielman. You introduced me to the progaming scene, and you did it with style.

Fair winds, Daniel. You earned them.
