Apparently confirmed on his twitter that he will retire after his loses earlier today. Sad day.

Aww man... I guess that makes sense though... His 0-3 loss to Krr must have been the thing that tipped him over the edge
Also, I think he's supposed to go to the army soon. When I contacted lygf regarding signing Genius, the owner said that Genius was getting ready to go to the army.

TBH judging from the games he made up his mind before and just decided to make it formal once he was out of WCS EU.

TheStC may be retiring as well, although this tweet is somewhat difficult to interpret. Don't want to make a thread without any kind of confirmation. As for Genius, it's not too surprising after the LYGF fiasco and his big dropoff in skill. GL in the future to him

Last season TheStC said he was going to retire if he didn't make it into premier but he did. I wouldn't be surprised if he is also retiring now that he's out of WCS. Sad to see both players go

Well, sad for Genius but honestly he has not had a impact anywhere for a long time so it does not feel like a to huge hit to the scene. However I wish him the best of luck elsewhere.

Sad but expected. Thanks for the good memories from WoL Genius and good luck!
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I would never doubt his ability to make a comeback. He's of one of very few players that clawed his way back to the top after hitting rock bottom more than once.

Best of luck to him in the future. To the army?

He was one of SC2´s icons for me. Not only because he won games, when nobody was really good, but because he came back from oblivion and played incredible Starcraft, which no one expected from him. Now San has to hold up the flag.

Saw this coming, but very sad. He was one of the Protosses I rooted for most in SC2.
