Nooooo Flying was my favorite unorthodox toss.
Miss you dood.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I never played BW multiplayer but that game just makes me want to live the BW times. No wonder the pros quit when you see the games they used to play. Stuff like that doesn´t exist in SC2 :<

Light is the best TvZ player to never win a SL, certainly. But his TvP was always considered sub par, and his TvT was only good; rarely great.

Best Terrans to never win a SL, I'd say:

1. Sea
2. Midas
3. Light
4. Iris

Light's really only known for his TvZ, but my god that TvZ...

Unspoiler for awesomeness:

The only blip was a 9 game (!!) TvZ span where he only played JD and still went an impressive 4-5 against the Tyrant.

Light was awesome, one of the few terrans that go full bio against zerg when every other terrans will do the bio to mech switch.

People need to understand that players retire and that does not mean that the "scene is dead" or sc2 is "dying". When Michael Jordan retired, Basketball did not die. New, younger players rose and the scene is the same as when he played. Sc2 will see younger players rise and help the scene of sc2. The transition from having legends/old bw players retire is necessary if new legends are to be made.

Light retiring doesn't surprise me much, although I would have expected him to maybe stay in esports, was one of my favorite BW players D:

But Flying D:::: There were moments when he clearly grasped the game and was up there with the best Toss after release but recently he has been kinda meh in PL. It's a shame because his playstyle was original, I never really followed him in BW but best of luck to both!

not too upset, although these two were always pretty decent (especially light, fucked up my fantasy one too many times).

There are just way too many players in the Korean SC2 scene, of course there will be a big amount of retirements. Everything will work out fine and hopefully we are adding more BW players back to the ranks too. =D

We've been getting a lot of these as of late, it seems. Of course, it's entirely to be expected given things like the massive oversaturation of Korea and the stress of transitioning games, but still, I wouldn't have expected the highly organized KeSPA to take the brunt of the losses so far.

Except they didn't change basketball to basketball 2 which made a lot of the current players lose interest in the game.

his wraith game vs jaedong was spectacular. it'll live on for quite some time in digital form but in a few years nobody will understand any of it as the annual view counts hit single digits.

Old players leave, new players come. It's the way things have always been, and it will continue to happen. It's nice to reminisce the times of players that were once great, but them leaving is not all loom and gloom. Best of luck to them both!

It is true, but since there are no announcements of new players (keep it fair, who knew about Sora before WCG streak :D?) it looks all doom more than anything.
