Yes, but this is two different idea. When you don't try something, you can regret later. If you try it, you can also regret you didn't win more, or wasn't a better player. This is the kind of regret you have to face when you're trying Starcraft 2, 'cause there's a ton of other people, so it could look like a waste of time. But Golden is actually saying it's better trying, even if you fail or if you regret what you were able to achieve, than not trying at all. By the way, gg gl, Golden. I liked his retirement's interview. | ||

What was tough about being a progamer? I can't think of a particular period that was difficult for me, but in general the fact that you have to win against another human being, not yourself, made things difficult. I just became a fan notice he did not say "to play against", but "to win against", i can completely relate to that... | ||

Its sad that he's retiring and isn't planning on coming back but I'm happy for him that at least he achieved the tournament win that was obviously so important. | ||

But I get maybe 3 games a week max of sc2.. And not because my time is limited, but simply bexause the game is just not fun or good to be honest. I'm sure many can agree. | ||

That is more than almost any 3 year old game. Golden did well, but he is ready to move on. He is young and wants to do new things. Best of luck to him. | ||

Whether it's Korean fans or international fans, thanks to everyone who cheered me on. If I come back somehow, I hope we can meet in a good way. But, I think it will be unlikely you will see me again in esports. If I do, see you then! So many onions... | ||

Retirements like these don't make me feel bleak about the scene. People have to move on, especially with military service looming. Plus it's cool to hear Golden talk about the experiences from the game that he will take with him in life | ||
