Wait, Im confused, Yellow retired from sc:bw right? So is it a different Yellow on the Power Rank in second place? :o

Its the same YellOw. They've put him on the Power Rank list as a tribute to him because he retired recently.
P.S : If you didn't know, YellOw is Forever #2.

I'm going to try my best to wake up at 8:30 est to be able to update the OP, so I'll sleep early too.

Let me know if you guys want anything else added.

I hope there will be replays on GomTV - does anybody know if this show already belongs to the GSL August section?

Was yellow one of the best players before he retired? I apologize for my lack of knowledge of BW history, but yellow is mainly known for his accomplishments in the early years of BW, right?

Yellow is known for his past accomplishments. Over the past two years he has been serving in the military and playing on the brood war proleague team "Airforce ACE." Yellow then returned to his former team KT Rolster for the past 8 months or so but played very few games. While Yellow still had some strong skill and could bring the occasional upset in BW he hasn't been in his prime for several years.

A great match to see how Yellow plays would be "Bisu vs Yellow" on heartbreak ridge:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Yellow holds the record for longest period between his first and last OSL-Finals appearance (2001-2009 ; vs Boxer - vs Jaedong) - a testament for the incredible longevity and persistence of his top level work.-corrected

I wonder if anyone has figured out his SC2 account(s) yet, and are there replays / VODs of him? (:

The Yellow vs Jaedong is actually (Z)

YellOw[ArnC] and not (Z)

YellOw.

YellOw[ArnC] is called the fake yellow and is also banned from BW for throw games in a huge scandal that happened over a year ago.

Is this the same Yellow that's #2 on the BW Power Rank?

If so, time to see if that elephant article is true.

This is answered several times already in this thread. Yellow is only ranked #2 as a tribute to his past accomplishment and him being part of the "kong line" which means always getting silver (second place). Had yellow not retired last month he would not be on the PR.
