MC retires from competitive SC2, though based on his new twitter handle he will continue streaming. MC retires with more winnings in his pocket from SC2 than any other gamer.

What a loss to the scene. Perhaps the greatest personality of any pro and definitely any Korean.

I really thought he had the ability to stay in the top 20 or so nearly indefinitely, had he been afforded a decent teamhouse. This makes me extremely discouraged.

Only sad because SC2 has been such a big part of my life the last 5 years, and MC was at the center of SC2 for such a long time. Thanks for the memories!

One of my fav. games ever though was Jinro vs MC on Lost Temple- close spawns and Jinro won with Mech and the whole SC2 world was all like "WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT???!? Is mech viable!?:"
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

It didn't get any better than that.

Damn. What always stood out to me about MC is his ability to always come back to the highest level no matter how down and out everyone thinks he is. Even now I'm still hoping to see him come back years down the line, and win another tournament--if anyone can do that it's him.

Good luck MC.

One of the most important people to ever play the game, both because of what he did in-game and what he did outside of it. He wasn't just a champion - he was a champion and knew it. He gave SC2 personality, excitement, and energy. He proved so much of what Protoss was capable of, from the beginning to the end. There was never a moment when he wasn't one of the most important players in the world. If there wasn't an MC, the entirety of esports - not just Starcraft, but esports as a whole - would be significantly different from what it is today, and it would almost certainly be worse.

The Boss Toss will never clock out of the collective consciousness of the game.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

I'm sad to see him go, but I hope he's feeling proud to be retiring as not only one of the best of all time, but one of the most beloved as well.

I'm sure we'll see plenty more of him, even if it's no longer as a competitor.

This really sucks because he showed as recently as season 1 that he could make a deep run in Korea still just based on his wily tricks and experience. If he had a solid practice regime he could have remained a contender. Hopefully he comes back for LoTV.

This is probably the first retirement post that hits me really hard. Normally it's from guys who phased slowly out of the picture anyway. MC has done so much in Starcraft. I always felt like even if he was sometimes not in top form he could still win a match against any player at any time. It seemed like he had a hundred different buildorders ready at any moment. So many times he made things work that you'd think 'this is never going to happen' and then boom he made it happen. He was also one of the first koreans who really tried to learn/speak english to foreign fans. He's been relevant in the top of the scene since the start of Starcraft II, so he's had a very good run.

I hope he gets a nice TL farewell article

gg bosstoss you will be missed!

GG MC. GG WP. We'll miss you. Looks like the Protoss President Obamatoss is finally leaving the office. Still remember you smashing JulyZerg the first time you won the GSL. We'll miss you...

No..... Boss Toss moves out!!!!

Very sad, I hope he gets picked by a team soon or he returns to a team with PartinG as his guide back to SC2.

MC style requires a ton of practice since it's based on timings and all-ins I guess....

Greatest SC2 Toss of all time!
If SC2 lasts that long, he can come back in 10 Years and the hole crowd will stand up and shout BOSSTOSS!

We will never forget what you done for the game, farwell MC!

Sad day for all of Starcraft 2. Especially those of us who were watching GSL from the beginning (Open).
The third Titan of that age, representing the third race, finally falls.

Good bye MC, the true bosstoss, the PROTOSS PRESIDENT, the OBAMAtoss.....and so on.....

So, we just lost one of the players who were not shy to speak in English on camera, who was brave enough to say something else than "I will do my best for the fans, cheer for me"? This is a horrible loss


GL HF MC! Enjoy whatever you will do.

Edit> To me, you will be forever remembered as SK MC. The same way I love IM Nestea and IM MVP.

I'm.. quite sad with that. I never really liked MC to the point some fans did, but he was really nice to have around, and a really talented player with a cumulated period of relevance still not achieved by anyone else.

Farewell MC, I have no doubt you'll succeed in whatever you do next.

I wonder if this has anything to do with his shoulder pains
I sincerely hope he keeps up his streaming, or that we see him in any other position in esports, since he's become such a legend.
Maybe he can become the Sous chef at Homestory Cup events?

Bummer! MC is one of my favorite players and has been for the last 5 years o.0. In a time where all-ins and two-base play have been phasing out, I could see the writing on the wall. He brought so many other things to SC2 besides his game, though.

Its been coming for a while and im sure that there are a handful of other pro players that are loved dearly by the community that want to retire as well. Lets just face it, SC2 is not sustainable anymore, i blame blizzard for this and ill never forgive them.

MC you will be missed, many incredible memories especially at Homestory cup with the sex on the beach dance haha. The MC/Idra rivalry and countless amazing plays at major tournaments such as MLG, GSL etc. MC i salute you <3

This has nothing to do with sc2 not being sustainable anymore but with MC not being good enough anymore to compete with the best.

Results of MC in 2014, season 1 wcs and that's all
aka 2015 retirement incoming^^
time for military service :p

I understand that MC was a bridge between esf and the new sc2 foreigner scene, The boss toss who was not the boss of the protoss compared to a lot a players will be miss. But unfortunatly, better to train then learn english, that's how competitive games work :p

MC...the first great protoss back when there simply were no other good protosses (other than Inka's PvP). I think most will remember back when it seemed like there were 2 good zergs, a half dozen good terrans, and the one protoss. His constant travel to foreign events helped enrich the early scene as well.

He has changed his Twitter name to https://twitter.com/streamermc so hopefully he'll be streaming a lot. Regardless though with LotV I don't think we can say for sure that we've seen the last of any retiree. When the final chapter launches, its going to be crazy and all bets are off.

Sorry to hear this, he was my favorite player for a long time. A few things I noted about him and his play that sure inspired me ->

1. His ability to either deal critical damage or outright win games off of his first gateway units, the zealot-stalker-poke. Usually vs foreign players who couldn't handle his control (PvT/PvP mainly)

2. His ability to make things happen for him with blink stalkers way into mid-game vs terran, something a scrubby diamond toss like myself can only dream of..

Well played BossToss!

Sad. So many great memories of his play. To me, he's unique in that so many of his memorable series were actually ones where he end up losing in the end. Vs Thorzain @TSL, Vs Idra @MLG, vs Puma @NASL....the list goes on. MC to me is a player who tends to bring out the best in his opponents. Hope he does well in whatever he decides to pursue in the future.

WOW!
Thats the most popular news website in Finland (unfortunately). It was on the front page .

Some things from the news:
Mc lived most of his professional career in team houses. Interestingly enough the news also tells a bit about MC's aggressive playstyle with protoss. Mc made it 26 times to at least semifinals in a premier tournament! 6x 1st places and 10x 2nd places.
MC is at rank 21 in most minerals earned in competetive gaming (wow wasn't long when he was like 1st... that moba monnyy)

I really hope MC doesn't leave the scene . GG WP

Thanks for all the great matches and also for being an awesome personality that you are. This was no supprise for most of us i guess, was just a question of time, well better move on if u dont feel good about it. Hope you dont quit esportscene for good, i mean there are other games out there like heroes of the storm, you're still very young, too young to retire from gaming imo.

MC was entertaining in early WoL but then he insisted too much on all-ins, and I think that resulted in quite a few losses for him for not doing more macro. I haven't watched competitive SC2 in a long time, but if he still sticks to his habit, then I'm not much surprised.

R.I.P. Bosstoss.

But surely, in some front of the camera capacity, he'll be back?
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.

Truly the end of an era, MC is one of the last players left who was highly prominent during the very beginning of SCII; it's a testament to his great adaptability that he continued to play at a high level for so long.

Besides laying down many principles of Protoss play still in use today, he was one of the most publicly forward SCII personalities, doing much to enhance the entertainment aspect of tournaments and other esports events

He certainly worked hard for all that money he amassed; there are very few progamers that can rival the sheer extent of his globetrotting itinerary.

For all this and more, we salute you, MC, and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors

MC is too important to not write about. In terms of pure importance, he is either #1 or #2 swapping places with Mvp (personally for me).

MC, Idra, Nony, Scarlett (she came back thank God), Machine.

Just Jaedong, iNcontroL, QXC, TLO, Root.Catz left now for me. Though I like Polt, Snute and Bunny too. I'm rooting for Rooterdam. I look for White-Ra when he pops up. My son took lessons from Sheth, it helped a lot he is a beast.

Love you MC. Hope you find your way back or wherever you can be happy.

I still hate him for beating July in the GSL final, but it's hard not to respect the guy. One thing I did appreciate about him, he was one of the few players who spoke up and told other players to treat the game and profession with respect.

Farewell MC. He was one of the big reasons I got so into watching professional SC2, if I had to name an absolute favorite SC2 player of all time it would probably be him. I still remember that night in my sophomore year of college where I stayed up until ~4-5am and watched MC beat July to become the first 2-time GSL champion. Hard to believe that it's been over 4 years since then...

Goodbye MC.
I remember the time, when he put a forcefield between the main and the natural. Other players did that too, but noone played it like MC.
Or when he casted Homestorycup.
Or his agressive games in the early GSL.
Or his dt's against naniwas dancing army

And hell, he knows how to do a show. He plays like a top korean and makes a show like a WWC wrestler.

Its really sad to see him go. Unfortunately this is just how sc2 is going these days.

I would like to read a "best of MC" article or something. With his best games an most important moments.

Saddest retirement ever..
For me, he is the most important player in SC2 history. He pretty much defined how protoss should be played in WoL, was present not only in korea but also in a lot of international tournaments, and has always been the brightest personality in korean SC2 - and probably the world.

We love you Bosstoss, take care of yourself and your life.

That Naniwa game was so painful...if I remember MC might have had all of his gateways on one pylon as well.

MC had a long history of crazy games...I remember him proxy gating White-Ra in game 5 of a finals...I remember a revenge match 3-0 against Idra (after Idra beat him earlier in the tournament) and so many other great MC times.

But how can anything compare with his season 3 interview after beating July where he said "him drone, drone, drone. Me all in; me win."

I'd like to think when I'm 70 and sitting back in my rocking chair awaiting death, I will think back on my time with sc2 and MC will be one of the names I remember. He is truly one of the icons of the scene. I would love to see him do casting, but I guess the military is calling.
