I feel bad for genius, he never got the attention he deserved, even when he won a Blizzcon, it was just not enough apparently

Pretty sad his greediness has stole a challenger league spot from someone who has worked hard on it (gotta give credit to naniwa at least he did not dig 600 easy dollars ).
I'm not gonna show any compassion,good riddance.

He earned it by qualifying, don't really see a problem with it.

I always loved Genius...

Maybe this is for the best though. If he decides to come back I hope he has better success and if he decides to do something entirely different I wish him the best of luck with that. glhf in army! <3

He was a good Protoss player. Will always remember his ballsy Carrier rush vs. DRG in the Code S finals

I looked up his TLPD profile and i was so sure he won a GSL but apparently not

In my mind he was the Inca destroyer. And one of the protoss that could make a diffrence with his wonky builds. He was the respect of the voidray himself.

was a good run, genius. I'll remember him most for that GSL season he lost in the finals to DRG. he had been pretty irrelevant for a while at that point, to see him come back and dominate for most of that season was fun to watch.

It is sad to say this, but I can see sOs going down a similar path.

Damn, such a sad day, he was one of my favorite protosses, I thought he had a really good style and was so fun to watch. He had such a sick run in the 1st GSL 2012. Good luck Genius, always stay true to your name!

As someone who is just getting back into the SC2 scene since WoL I find this to be very sad. Genius was a great player. He was always great to watch back in the day and while I know nothing about his decline I am very sad that I will never get to see him play again. It seems like almost all of my favorite players are retiring. I will always remember his games.

Enjoyed him as a player and a personality. Best of luck Genius!
Send him of with a smile, people!
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

He's been around the scene for quite a bit and it's understandable that he retired given his lack of interesting and wanting to do his military service. Best of luck to Genius!
