"My fans thank you very much but sorry maybe i retire"

I really want him to go to a homestory cup before he retires. He would be perfect for it.

I was rooting for him so hard. A team needs to pick him up! It's clear he's still go t the results, and I bet that would go a long way in keeping him around.

Man, I think we might need a rule about using a random twitter comment as a topic for a thread. People don't say enough in 140 characters.

Random twitter comments are not really news worth, imo. They are just the thoughts off of the top of someones head and can be made in the heat of the moment(like losing). I prefer interviews or something that has some substance to a random away message.

Polt should recommend CM Storm to pick up Genius on a sponsorship deal. Though, on the other hand, they're probably intelligent enough to consider it themselves, without any recommendations. A different option would be signing with a non-Korean team, Acer has no Protosses at all, I think. And I hope either organisation decides it's the way to go. It would be a shame if Genius were to retire now.

I doubt he will. The fact he tweeted this after a loss is just a heated moment and I doubt he'll retire.
When I think of something else, something will go here

So sad... Makes it to WCS Finals without a team, and then gets knocked out first round and considers retiring. I can't blame him though. It has to be devastating to work that hard and put in that much effort only to get shut down and have almost nothing to show for all of your dedication. SC2 needs something big to happen.
