Since most players seem to be interchanging military service and retirement nowadays, probably not going to ever happen :\

While you never had huge success (until now), you were always on my radar. The letter to SlayerS is one of the nicest things to ever happen in SC2 imo. The tournament for Hyun was great as well.

Dear TL-Community: Golden deserves his place in the hall of manner bear fame.

gl+hf Golden, please come back soon!

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?


Loved this part at the end.

Sure, taking a break from a game due to compulsory military service is not the same as losing passion and interest. But regardless, I think a lot of other pro-gamers should try to 'retire' with the same spirit as Golden had - humour, humility and hope. Most foreigner retirements just seem so abrupt, depressing and feels like a one-night-stand partner slipping out of the room before you wake up.

Doesn't matter if you've given up the game for good or temporarily. Doesn't matter if you were a top or moderate player. Say goodbye with a tear, say goodbye with a cheer.

Please come back, Golden! We need your passion!
