So sad to see him go. Watching him win Season 2 was incredibly emotional for everyone watching. Great write up. Hope Finale's future is as inspirational as his Championship win.
Long live the King of Wings

A touching read, while I had never truly followed duckdeok I must say what I know about his story is an incredible one. I've also watched some of his games, including a brief cameo in GSL Code S for I believe was 2 seasons, I watched some of his games in his winning WCS EU, it was incredible watching him beat fan faves like Grubby and MC with sheer determination and almost no crowd support. The "face of faceless Koreans" was truly fitting for him, he showed everyone that behind every |||||||||||| KR GM/High Masters was a human being working his arse off hoping to create a career in a game he loves, sadly most fail without ever being noticed. Goodbye, good luck and thank you for the memories!

A Fantastic read, the WCS Season 2 final moment is one of the best in SC2 History so far..those tears are for real and for the hard work he putted in. Duckdeok you deserve a place in SC2 history. I Hope he sees this blogpost, hes worth knowing he will be remembered!

That was fantastic. One of your best pieces yet, Stuchio. Thanks for the exciting (and teary-eyed) read.

It's amazing that duckdeok is only 18 years old. Perhaps we'll see him again.
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

Excellent write up. While it has a sad tone to it, we can't forget he was vastly more successful than most Korean players. Winning a WCS championship is more than the majority can hope to achieve. There are many players who retire without ever getting into code S, for instance.

Wow Stuchiu, great article. Put a rather emotional spin on the start of my day.

We <3 you duckdeok, hope to see you back for a few surprise tournies soon!

Wish more players (and I'm not only talking about Koreans here) were as emotional as that guy.

beautiful article. finale was always one of those players that you sensed had something going. some of them fade away, some ignite, and some just goes for one gigantic supernova of a sudden impact, like him, and he did it both game-wise and in his and our hearts.

duckdeok, you will be remembered

My interests do not include cheesing the best players out of tournaments. Sorry.

Excellent write-up. Is the 'greatest story never told' title a running gag around here? sOs winning Blizzcon got the same one! They can't both be the greatest stories never told. :o
