He retired at the end of last year. He died with his kingdom.
To be honest I really don't know like anything about him except that he beat like Flash at Dreamhack and went to IEM.
Yugioh was a player that was picked up by Boxer to join Slayers. But he was often considered the black sheep and was never allowed to stay in the team house as other players got priority over him. He was also considered a weaker player by his teammates with MMA, Ryung and Ganzi fighting to choose him as their first pick for an easy win in GSL Code S.
Eventually Slayers broke down with MMA being called a cancer and many of the core/star players all left. So Slayers folded and on the last night as a team they wen to play GSTL.
Where Yugioh in a silent seething rage went on to triple kill MVP against players far our of his league. You could see the rage on his face at the end of his team and it took Sniper (Best player at the time) to come out to stop him.
He was also a vicious player in the booth. He beat Parting when Parting was double his supply 120 -60 and double the bases 4-2 and he still won. He nearly beat Flash in OSL after Flash was considered a top 4 player and he did beat Soulkey in his initial match before losing.
He is probably most notable for the fact that he has made 16 Code A seasons and was crowned the King of Code A. Oh and also at DH he played triple tiebreakers with Strelok and Lucifron over and over until DH decided the outcome with a coin.
Eventually Yugioh retired from a lack of motivation, a broken heart, poor, and his kingdom destroyed as they changed Code A from a bracket to group stages.
It's a pretty sad story.
I remember that, MMA willingly picked his teammate to be in his group because he assumed it would near guarantee him getting out. Yugioh was a really great player, and seemed to have a unique style. Also went by NewDawn in the first few GSLs (open season) and knocked out Rainbow (the first GSL 2nd place man) in season 3

Feel free to explain how it is possible to rerun a 6 hour show at a more EU friendly time without somehow clashing completely with Homestory Cup.
It is already 7am. The countdown lasts another 41 minutes, the preshow is 20 minutes long. The actual show starts at 8am and runs for 6 hours, at which point HSC begins. I literally cannot do better than that. Deal with it (or subscribe for $5 and watch the VoD now, your call )
Just got home and saw Flash finish off herO and his games vs Life rerun. Life v Flash was pretty awesome, a sick hold in the first game against Life's ling/roach push and then a entertaining mech vs SH game :D
However its easier on zerg side in SC2, cause terran is on clock rather than zerg due to swarm hosts. And clumping gives you a fungal window to win the game.
