The mind-game effort played in this game against flash truly excited me for what he could pull off in the future. I cannot think of a player in who decided to hang it up during such a high point in their career. Although I am disappointed to see him go I hope he kicks some ass at whatever he undertakes next.

I don't remember the last gamer that retired while they were still capable of winning.

Off topic, but this definitely wins the award for most out-of-place auto-smiley.

the whole sweatshop training is catching up with bw, i suppose now it snowballs and jd accepts that hes no. 2 forever and ever then flash without adequate competition just walks away secure in the knowledge that bw ended with him at the top talk about getting bit by the ultimate osl curse.

i blame mmorpgs for the shrinking pool of talent.

Come on, guys. You know that pro-gaming career is SHORT. You will never see a 60-year-old or older pro-gamer ever in reality.
