If this is the same game I'm thinking it is, it ... was ... EPIC! A must watch imo. Both Effort and Fantasy outdid themselves with how well they played!

Hope his mother will be allright and that his military service will go well.

I am so glad someone else posted this!! (and that I checked before I did) I remember watching that Heartbreak game live and just being on the edge of my seat the whole game. That was one of the closest and most clutch defiler timings ever, against Flash none the less.

Also, as the most awe inspiring game I have ever seen, this is Effort v Flash on Judgment day. This is just before that OSL finals and everyone was so hyped that we got to see them play before the finals. Watch Effort take the whole map and just go full sauron Zerg. (its too bad we are showing so many Flash losses here, but he was the benchmark for TvZ, and Effort was one of the only zergs that had a chance against him)

I will never forget watching Effort play. Best of luck in everything in the future.

Effort was never one of my personal favorite players, but I have crazy respect for him. Such a monster in the BW days, his play was always inspiring. Sad to see him go, and extra sad that his mother is in poor health.

Why so sudden Effort?

You reached GSL top16!

It isn't sudden, he wants to spend time with his mother.

Effort, one of the few people on earth who could out muscle flash late game tvz. He'll always be one of my favorite players

Best of luck and best wishes to EffOrt and his family. I didn't follow Starcraft till HotS but I can confidently say that he was a true legend, both in BW and even SC2. I will never forget the amount of joy I had seeing him snipe Maru on KSS in the Proleague Season Finals ace match. We'll miss you EffOrt!

Best wishes to him. I hope his mother pulls through, and if she cannot then I hope her passing is peaceful and painless and his mourning process eased by the knowledge that he was a loving and devoted son to the very end.

He could have put a little more EffOrt in after his Ro16 this season.

Sorry, had to be done.

Good luck and best wishes!

Wow; Korean Air was what finally started to heal the scars of CJ; after the whole scandal, I remember his coming out of retirement and staying up till 3; watching him play again, oh Effort I'll miss thee, you could've been the next best if you didn't retire in 2010 ._.
