This also means that the only 2 remaining players from oGs are SKT Billowy and Mill.ForGG

It's always a sad thing to see an SC2 old timer retire, especially one that innovated his own race, one that was more than "just another korean pro-gamer".

Great article!
The link on the front page links to the other Supernove Retirement post though, might want to fix that

I was thinking this yesterday that he was the best Terran than never won a big tourney and it is still kind of baffling to me as to why. The fact that he played so weird, yet sooooo consistent is beyond me.

Byun at times played pretty uniquely and he would have his ups and downs. Gumiho is currently on the up and plays weird, but he certainly had his downs. SuperNova was ALWAYS powerful until very recently.

While he was never accounted among the greats of SC2 pros

i disagree but then again you dont count Parting as one either.

This write-up serves SuperNova the highest respect and admiration he deserves.

He was a true innovator, and my eyes are welling up just thinking upon all he's done in and for the scene. SuperNova, you are one of the reason's I truly got into the game and stuck with it for all this time. Your games were artwork... a thing of beauty.

May your legacy live on in our memories forever and ever!

I don't follow SC2 as closely as I did in 2011-2012, but Supernova's name was one of those regulars. Now it's 2015 and he's retired. I guess it hasn't been that long in the grand scheme of things, but it still feels like the end of an era for me.

And the next Terran retired. Supernova was a huge player, i like to see him. I wish him good luck for the future.
The SC 2 is more and more Protoss and Zerg.

<3 Supernova. Never forgive maru for knocking you out of OSL in 2013 with weird all-ins when you actually looked like the best player in the world for a bit.

watching him watch some of his biggest matches on his last stream is one of the more unique SC2 moments I've had, and I won't soon forget it. a great player who was easy to like.

Wasn't he the guy who blew up his own Medivacs in the opponents face (with seeker missiles) and who lost all his army in a game vs Stephano because of the stupid random widow mines? Good Times

The first one was Bomber. The second was ForGG.

I'll miss SuperNova, I love interesting Korean Terrans. Hope for the best after his military service is over!

Haha, this is the 2nd time I see Tasteless mocking Artosis.
The first time "and he kills the Artosis pylon"
Artosis "is that was this is?"
Tasteless "yep, that's an Artosis Pyolon"
And now this about the Artosis Curse :D

So sad... SuperNova has always been one of my absolute favorites. Inspired me to go marine tank banshee vs protoss back in WoL... will miss him.
