Sad to read this. Still, if he's going to the army, it's expected.

gl to him!

If it is indeed the end, then may he be remembered as among the best players in both Wings and HotS, and, of course, as the first Blizzcon champion in Starcraft 2.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

He was one of my favorite protosses since SC2 was released. The game has changed much and he is past his prime, but his legacy will leave on. He was the first protoss who could play reactive macro games against any opponent.

Highly doubt that. Name one casual gamer in Korea. Golden? The streamer.

You got 16 year olds practicing 14 hours a day. There's no room for casuals.

Sad thing for sure, but nobody should be surprised. It's been a long steady decline in skill (or rather lack of improving along with the rest of the field) and a 0-3 against Krrr was the last nail in the coffin.

I like Genius, but let's be honest, he lost interest a long, long time ago. I hope he remembers his time in SC2 fondly, and good luck at whatever he does in the future.

Damn these pictures make me sad and happy at the same time. I really liked him when he was actively playing.

My first thought when he was down 0-2 vs Krr was that he was going to retire. I wish I was wrong but it was really obvious that he didn't care anymore.

Well it was a long time coming. He didn't practice a lot, as he said in the interviews and was flirting with retirement many times. And now he got fucked by his teams three times (slayers, azubu, LYGF) so I get that he feels that it's time to go. Still sad.
