So sad.

But I'm really glad that duckdeok got his championship and his trophy. It clearly meant the world to him. SC2 needs players who care that much and have that much desire to win. He deserves to be remembered for that.

I hated duckdoek when he first got big, to be honest. But now I kind of miss him. He grew on me a lot.

I would have liked him more if he wasn't the premier example of a cheesy protoss who relied on all-ins a lot. Although I respect him for his clever strategizing and desire to win.

At least for duckdeok, the finale came after he had reached his dream. He had won a championship before it was all over, he had travelled around the globe, and he had played some of the best players in the world and had won. Though not a player to be counted among the greats, he had left his mark and would be remembered.


I think this paragraph captures the whole article perfectly, great writing.

So glad I got to write about him before he retired. Proud to say that I was a hipster fan ever since 2011.

Fly on, little duck.

Thanks for the read. It's true. DuckDeok actually showed it all so much more to us than we knew. Brilliantly put in the last paragraph there. I wish him good luck in his future, he obviously ended it in a somewhat sad but still good run.

Dem beggining of tears from Kaelarys were also a strong moment, when he said that he was moved to see a Korean crying. no more "no emotion" Taeja-like reaction to winning, that was cute :p
bye Duckdeok !

We'll miss you duckdeok, finale, Kim Kyeong Deok.

I still remember watching him play in the GSTL as finale made me so happy when he won WCS EU. From werra to WCS EU may be one of the best stories in esports.

What an inspirational player. I remember hearing his name a lot before he wound up retiring. It's not like he never made it into the spotlight. It's just that he never became talk of the town like a Rain, sOs, or Innovation.
