Effort, you were a legit BW and SC2 player. You've had plenty incredible games in BW, with that OSL win against Flash as an obvious crowning achievement. But between that amazing ZvZ against DRG back in WCS KR 2012, till the amazing ZvT against Flash/Maru/TY in PL 2014, you've also given us some great games during SC2. I hope you get the most out of your time with your family and get to enjoy your life after SC.

I will always remember being a CJ Entus fan and watching that OSL finals in the airport hanger. I was at a TL meetup at the time and when Flash went up 2-0, everyone else went to sleep (it was 6am) and only I stayed up and witnessed that crazy comeback.

I remember watching his BW games when I first realized there was a scbw competitive scene around 2010. Very good player. Hope the best for you and your mother Effort.

Sad to see a great player retiring, but he has a good reason and delivered some awesome games throughout his Starcraft career.
Best of luck to him!

Sounds like a regular post won't do, blog time!
