A pity he never reached his BW heights but he did do very well in PL and did win an individual title. A pretty successful career in SC2 if not judging it by Flash's reputation. Yep, achievement and skill wise he is still among the very top of the scene, hard to believe this. | ||

I dont want Flash to go to a decling bw scene. Nothing for him to prove there. He had potential in lotv but for some reason he gave it up I don't see him being anywhere near best he is expected to be in foreseeable future. | ||

I'm kind of shocked that he wouldn't stick around longer. Presumably he was still getting great money from KT just from his name alone, but I guess it's not always about money and he has more than most 23 year olds could ever dream of having, not to mention the prestige of being a household name in Korea and close to it outside... but it's still tragic to see. RIP Flash. | ||

At least, he can always go and play bo5 vs Effort/Bisu/Zero ^_^ Flash will always be the face of Starcraft, so it doesn't matter if he retires now or after another disappointing year in Code S. KT without Flash though, that's going to feel weird for a while. | ||

RIP Flash. Well he did win something there... I think this is an decision in the making since long ago, tbh I believe a lot of us saw this coming but probably not a lot realize this could be so close. He had his run obviously, a sc2 career not on par to mighty expectations but still very successful considering how late he got into this game and his age, I mean being the ace/backbone player of a top team for around two years and several high finishes including a premier win? 99% of sc2 players would kill for what he achieved. Still can't believe it was a long nine years, the man deserves some rest and we should celebrate his legacy and wish the best for his future. | ||

RIP Flash. He does say that he eventually wants to make KT the greatest team in the world as headcoach. He's already planning the great recovery. We just need to convince Jaedong to eventually coach Jin Air. | ||

Of course I always respected his skill, and the fact he was a legend meant I always rooted for him in SC2. Sad to he's gone.. | ||
