Sup guys, its Golden who was progamer even 10hours ago.
excuse my english, but i'm glad to i can write it without translator.
(at least you can understand, right? :D)

My Progamer life has been finished after today match against YoDa.
was kinda pathetic perform. i'm so sorry about it if your eyes has been broken
but i don't have any regret and i'm so happy about i ran incredible period
after i arrived Germany. it was pleasure to do progaming again after retire in
last november.

also i would like to sorry you again that i made you confusing with retirement in 2013 nov.
i heard i could join military in beginning of this year. so i retired, but it was incorrect
and my join military date is correctly december 9. so i back to progamer.
but sadly its real time to farewell to you guys. i ABSOLUTELY join military in Dec9.
if South Korea and North Korea unification before it. (lol, kidding)

when i arrived Germany, i didn't expected that i hit 2times Ro4 in WCS and Runner-up in
ESET Masters. but i did it and hit my best-time of my progaming life as well
i did i thought i ever could. unfortunately didn't get any wins in 2014 but i think its enough for me (person's greed is infinity right? so its kinda how to get happiness :D)

as i said in last interview after WCS match, i would back to in eSports scene after finish military (2016-09-08) not as player, my currently dream is make my own big eSports festival like Dreamhack, IEM and others. (thats why i hosted tournaments in beginning of this year, first step! :D) so i would back to eSports and planning studying abroad in Germany. (interesting with hosting tournaments, and casting)

i was really happy to living in Germany, USA and i learned a lot from here.
i was a guy who only know gaming without planning future, but i changed here
to a guy who can see future. so i never regret to decided to play in outside of Korea!
i was really happy to meet you guys and
i was really honor to show my plays to you guys.
thanks for like my games, and cheered for me i was almost cry when i got standing ovation even i lost YoDa 0-3 with bad perform. and got many good words, cheering during gaming life.
i'm gonna keep it in my heart, and never forget love you guys ♥

its so embarrassing to say retire again, someone won't believe it.
so i won't say retire again. i would like to say it's break from sc2 cause of military.
who knows future?

Really well written. I've seen many of your matches. You sound like you have a great head on your shoulders and I hope the military will be pretty uneventful for you. Take care.
I had a dream I moved to Korea to become a GSL champion. I slept in PC bangs and practiced only vs the PC. I named my self Death and faced Life in the finals. I beat him, but ended up dying as I killed his last building.

Thank you Golden. We love you, and we will miss you. You are a special part of the StarCraft scene and we will not forget you.

Please have a safe time in the military, and we will see you in 2 years! Maybe you can study English more and be a translator in the military?

Best of luck Golden! You really started to shine in the foreign scene but I remember you from a long time ago, as far back as GSL 2010 Open Season 3. And I remember you in the GSTL 2013 "Red vs. Blue" all-star game holding Seed's 2-base mothership/skytoss all-in.

My favorite Golden game though was just recent was his game on Overgrowth against Welmu in this last season RO16. Golden got far behind early but came back with amazing lategame play. If you haven't watched it you should, it's the first game at this link:
