Don't know if it's the same for anyone else but I was looking hard for SC2 info - and as a result sorta-accidentally-following-BW-a-bit - around the time Effort took his OSL. So the Jin Air finals between Flash and Effort was my first really hyped BW event, as a result I followed Effort fairly closely as he switched over and was really hoping he'd do well. Will be missed.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

Never saw him play SC2 but Effort was a beast in broodwar in 09-10.

I remember a lot of people calling him the next Savior and he certainly was at times in a tier of his own, if not on the Flash/JD level just slightly below, Joined fleetingly by Bisu during his dominant Proleague runs + Show Spoiler +
which coincided with Bisu being elminated early in both MSL and OSL multiples time which was possibly the most frustrating thing I have ever witnessed
Effort was certainly the favorite after Jaedong to defeat Flash who was so dominant at the time.

Of course he beat Flash in The Korean Air OSL and then promptly retired. But he was never the same after that first retirement. + Show Spoiler +
In broodwar no clue about sc2


Anyway seeing his name in the side bar was a blast from the past.

Thanks for the games Effort, thanks for making Flash look mortal if only a little, thanks for that epic zvzvz tie breaker, thanks for the memories.

In some way this EFfort - Flash OSL final resembled Soulkey - INnoVation GSL final - the favorite terran winning machine choked and lost in a series of championship matches only to be reverse killed by an extraordinaire zerg player.

TBF, the mod note is not really that noticeable imo.
It could need a red boarder or something like that

Eventually we will all find ourselves remembering the greats.

Wont be to long from now when
JD, Flash, Stork, Rain, Parting, Scarlett, HuK, SoulKey, Innovation, Taeja, MC, Hyun, Zest, etc...

All retire.

Hopefully the new generation can produce some awsome players for the future!

This is so beautiful that i don't even care that he retires, what a hero!

GG Effort, glad that you retire with such a good reason to do so hope your mother will get well soon and best of luck in the future. We will miss you Alien <3

Mods should also put in that the people who posted at the start hadn't seen the mod edit.
