I'm pretty sure people started noticing Really when he was optical flaring observers and shuttles in TvP on matchpoint... and it worked.

I'm actually pretty sad about this; I was never a huge huge fan of him but I actually liked his terran.

LOL C WHAT I DID THUR?


No, what is it exactly that you're trying to do here? It's not funny or post worthy in any way - it's just plain rude and immature. If you don't have shit to say, then don't say shit for fuck's sake.

Anyway, back on topic:

It seems things are just getting worse and worse for the BW community... Really was one of my all time favorite players. His macro and game sense were superbly underrated, and a lot of eStro fans complained that he wasn't a proper ace.

But I always found myself cheering for him. The first time I saw Really play, it was in a Proleague match against Best on Katrina. At the time, Best was in his prime - plus it was on Katrina, a Protoss map to boot. I thought it would be an easy win for the Protoss monster. But in a strange turn of events, the relatively unknown Terran, Really, won! And it wasn't by cheese or tricky play; it was a straight up macro game. Here was a man who wasn't afraid to get into a macro-fest with Best. I was amazed; as of that moment, I became a devout Really fan.

What drew me in was his thoughtful style and unbelievably strong macro. Later on, his innovative usage of medic flares to nullify observers completely blew my mind and renewed my faith in his greatness. I'm incredibly sad to see him go, and I wish him luck in the future. Thanks for all the great games ;_;

박상우, 화이팅!

I suppose him moving to SC2 would be better than nothing. I hate to see favourite players simply drop off the radar.

(T)Really did have potential and I thought with effort (no pun intended) could easily make it into top 15, even top 10 of KESPA rankings.

It's clear to me his heart hasn't been in it for a while -- BUT you have to wonder how much this was influenced by netizens. After his proleague losses to flash and then his futility in the MST he no doubt got a lot of flak for his play. "lol terrible games" etc etc. He was probably pretty depressed already after being in a slump for quite a long time, and I can't imagine the constant criticism helping. I think Kwanro probably retired for similar reasons.

Kwanro's retirement was definitely catalyzed by coach park, unfortunately.
I think the same can be said of Really. I don't think the team itself was exactly buddy buddy with him.
On the ads, it demonstrated some awkwarditee...

Sad that he's leaving, but he has his reasons and I wish him luck in the future.
