My all time favorite Silver game was the one against Hwasin on sin peaks where he absolutely ran over him with only mutalisks. It was really awesome.. I remember that MBCGame had a tv show like top 100 best vods or something, and that one was pretty high on the list. Too bad it's not on youtube or anything though =O

Was this the one where Hwasin was on 7?? I dont remember the Zerg but iirc Stx lost their chance to playoff cuz of it. It was seriously good rape with mutas, comparable to July and ~~Jaedong~~.

Found the youtube of the game, a tribute for Silver.

Dunno why Pusan and MBC ppl shows up. He kinda have dual muta control but that was for like split seconds. He always look so relaxing when hes playing.

Yea I remember Hwasin was at 7..It was an awesome game because Silver was low on drones all game long but his awesome micro single handedly won him the game =P

I still remember the day he came out of nowhere and beat Boxer in the first round of MSL pre-lims with a 2-0 score. That was about 5 years ago now. There were a group of fangirls who were there to give V-Gundam some presents (they were from his fanclub) and when they heard Boxer had been finished in the first round, they just burst into tears.

Then when he beat Boxer on Monty Hall, I burst into tears. T_T

I'm glad he's gone, now he can leave Boxer alone. T_T

I remember when he proxy hatched in-base vs. FE Daezang on Arcadia, and of course the Monty Hall build and many hydralisk all-in plays. He did it with style.

Really sad to see progamers retiring.

But currently I think there are way too many progamers. Look at the qualifiers, lots of no-namers can be seen. Reducing the number of progamers may benefit the whole progaming scnee IMO. The majority of them's skill level is differs not too much. Luck pays an important factor as well. There will be enough fanbase for most players, as for now supporting a player is hard. Most of them do not get much on air time.

I admire them but being a progamer is really tough job me thinks.

That muta-only game was sick, as was his monty hall strat.

He'll be remembered for the good things he did.

Arg. This is sad news. The last game I remember watching of Silver was that epic game on Monty Hall where he went guardian + hydra. I will always remember that, and Silver.

Damn so many people retiring. Well I hope Nada and Boxer still have a few good years left in them...

Daum OSL's title is as much Silver's as it is GGplay's.
genius was the only way to describe the build he came up with

Such a pain it is to hear of retirement, making games grow old along with its members.

And then... another game will take it's place, but it isn't truly filled, nor the same, but that is why it is new. Eventually games are forgotten, and then out of nowhere a breakthrough game occurs, that is just as fun or more so. Strange how the satisfaction of games constantly, slowly, slips away.
