Nooo Genius! Sad to see but somewhat expected. One of the coolest dudes in Starcraft is gone

Best of luck!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I will miss genius, I have many great memories of watching him play. Fewer and fewer WoL players to root for is making me sad

This is a bitter pill to swallow.

Genius is the inaugural SC2 Blizzcon winner. His legendary frenemyship with DRG is of epic proportions.

A game that has no turnover of the player pool is a dying game.

Not too surprising, but going to miss the guy, I always liked him.

I was beaten by a non-Korean, I carry too much shame to continue

Damn. As someone who hasn't watched SC2 in a while it hurts when I see things like Genius retiring or TheSTC retiring. I still remember watching DRG vs Genius and DRG coming into the booth.
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

Thanks for all the epic games Genius! Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors.

Thank you Genius for all of the void rays and other awesomeness. To remind us all that Genius was a boss for a long long time, here is him wrecking Symbol with a CARRIER BUILD back in 2011:
