Flash belongs only in the real competition of starcraft which is sc2 lotv atm. I dont care if he goes back to bw or becomes a coach like Stork. Man this blows I have no words.

There are dozens of potential reasons.


I would say how the game turned into what it is now is one of the reasons. Hopefully I'm not turning this into some whining crap...

I mean he is a macro player who prefer positional play and LOTV is anything but that. So maybe that was the trigger for him.

hmm not sure about the positional play part, the games of TY vs Parting shows a great deal of area control. I'm really sad...

this is all just speculation on my end, but this retirement just feels wrong to me. if he had decided to weather the storm of upcoming balance changes and mixed tournament results in early lotv, i feel like he would have a lot more chances to achieve the level of success he always wanted because it will inevitably shift to a more stable meta, in the final version of the game at that. i was looking forward to this time in sc2 where it's more similar to bw in circumstances at least, and seeing who will emerge as the real champions. i was looking forward to flash thriving in this environment, but eh, he decided to give up before this even began to take place. it just feels wrong, man.

The impression I got from him in the GSL group selection and at the LotV launch event was that he had already decided to quit a while ago tbh.

This just sucks so hard... I was looking forward to seeing him play LotV for GSL/SSL/PL/BlizzCon and so much more...

WHY FLASH?!?!?!

I was at IEM when he won it, it was amazing to finally see him win a championship. He was all smiles and in a fantastic mood, and the energy in the venue was crazy. Goodluck to him in the future!

I got a great picture of him if anyone cares, here.

I love you so much Flash.

I'm so sad you're going, but I find solace that you're leaving on your own terms.

It's so sad, just a few days ago we were still waiting for Flash to make a comeback in the next ProLeague, I guess that wouldn't happen now.
Good bye God.

exactly my thoughts such sadness tho I cant believe Flash will no longer be in the front battle of sc2
I expressed my reservations yesterday I had a feeling smth was wrong with his account but Silvana is always optimistic and told me to not worry ;P Show is over folks...the show is over.
btw I dont think I will continue to post or follow the sc2 scene now, I might be lurking or w/e. Flash was the reason I came back to sc2 after WoL beta. Damn it Flash

Ikr? I now look like I was trolling you, trying to bring your hopes high just the day before Flash announces his retirement... But I really really believed we were going to have him for another year T_T

And no I never was a BW fan (I learned that professional gaming was a thing in 2013). So maybe in the future is gonna be you who walks me through the BW scene, because if he's back there I will follow

I feel so terrible, I still feel this emptiness inside me. It has almost been a day but I can't get over the fact that he retired. And all of us are waiting for him to make a comeback too. I feel so betrayed, and worse is that the guilt of me having never watch a single match of his live...
