Sad, sad news. The twilight of the Gods. The one consolation I have is that if he does retire, he won't be condemned to a sad old man's career on the Air Force team.

And he will always be the one true Bonjwa.

Thanks for the translation MrHoon!

Nobody dominated so violently starcraft scene than SaviOr. He made the impossible possible, he's the number one Tyran.

Upon reflection I'm reminded of Michael Jordan and I think the parallels are striking.

o Each was the undisputed master of his generation in his sport.

o Each was preceded by a list of great creative players of which they were the most dominant (Bird, Magic, Boxer, Oov, etc).

o Each heralded in a new era of technical players where much of the flash and drama was gone. (maybe the most debatable, but for me, the current NBA can't match the charisma of the former generation, just as in SC. Flash and Jaedong are probably better players than Savior and Boxer, but lack something extra, just as guys like Kobe and Lebron might be more complete than the older greats, but just seem to lack than extra something that Jordan/Bird/Magic had)

o And finally, both Savior and Jordan came down to earth after their time at the top. I think of Jordans "comeback" with the Wizards and sigh. Just as with Savior's "I will destroy everyone in 2009."

Maybe it's just nostalgia for me, but you can't go back it seems. Sigh.

I had an ex who had the same knee problem. She wore a brace under her clothes a lot, so maybe Savior always has, too. She had surgery, but it didn't really fix anything.

Funny, I was thinking of the exact same thing. Except Jordan's comeback with the Wizard's was decent. He had a few 40 point games (which is amazing considering his age) and he had been out of basketball for a while. With Savior its basically him getting 1 win over Jaedong and 1 over Stork and otherwise just getting obliterated (his game vs best on fighting spirit was so hard to watch). Saviors slump would be like him winning his 4th championship then next season dropping to 10 ppg.
