At MBC Trials I raped some terran round one. I was feeling pumped and ready for round 2 vs. Reach.

I was then walking towards him and he was walking towards me and we made eye contact, he didn't look away, neither did I. I felt the power of the mantoss. There was nothing I could do. He was Reach. I was the first one to break the eye contact. I knew what was coming.

Mother fucker raped me twice with ease.



This post needs to be in the TL hall of fame.

I consider Boxer, Yellow, and Reach to be the first holy trinity of starcraft. They paved the road for Flash, Jaedong, and Bisu. With Boxer in SC2 and Yellow in LoL, Reach's retirement will mark the end of an era.

I found a loophole, it says 'Finals' with plurality. This essentially mean that KT is speculating that with their current performance, they can reach another Final for next season. And after a couple of those, then the Man would retire!

I heard he quit because he's acting in The Expendables 2, since they didn't have enough testosterone in the movie.

If Reach doesn't get to play during the finals I will be very, very sad.

The stage is set. Lights are flashing. The crowd is roaring. KT vs SKT ace match awaits. Cameras pan into the booths. The split screen shows... Bisu, of course. And for KT... the mantoss. The crowd roars, not for Bisu, but for Reach, his final match appearance for BW. *46minutes of gruelling PvP action later* The mantoss has won, KT has the 3-peat, and Reach can retire, knowing that he is the reason that KT won tonight.

Good bye sweet prince. We will never forget. Reach AKA The Mantoss.

As sad as this is, the last time we saw the Mantoss in an official match was back in July of last year (not that I blame KT's coach, since he's past his prime). I would honestly rather see him retire and move on to other things rather than see him do nothing other than keep his seat warm during events.

Regardless, past his prime or not, win or lose, it would be a terrible injustice to not have him play during the finals.

I think probably the most epic thing ever would be Reach playing the final ace match agains T1 and beating the crap out of Fantasy manly style, with overwhelming micro and laughing in his booth.

He probably heard about SC2 being played in Season 2 of PL and said, "Fuck this shit."

Damn. Reach was one of my favourites. He was such a big part of the scene and was around for so long. It pains me to see him leave

I would legitimately cry if this happened.

Goodbye Reach. So sad to see the last of the old legends go.

...does this make Tossgirl the longest-running active progamer?
