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.

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.

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:
