Incredibly rough translation. My Korean isn't that good but the gist of it is..

+ Show Spoiler +
http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2015113022384927954#close_kova

KT Rolster's Flash has declared his retirement, closing off the Taekbaegleessang generation.

In eSport's 15 years of history, there has always been a group four people that defined the generation. Boxer, Yellow, Nada and Reach were the first generation of greats and later came Oov, July, Xellos and Nalra. In 2008 a new group formed, Jaedong, Flash, Stork and Bisu.

The four players became rivals that dominated and won many leagues. None of them could hold onto the top for long and competed with each other for the love of their fans.

But when the change from Brood War to StarCraft 2 happened, the generation of Taekbaegleessang started to fade. Bisu retired, Stork became a playing coach and Jaedong went abroad because activities in Korean leagues became too difficult. Flash was the only one to stay in Korea as the final member of Taekbaegleessang as an active participant.

It's the time to say goodbye to Taekbaegleessang with Flash. Fans should not forget these players who have led Korean eSports for so long.

Also it just struck me - KT is like, painfully short on good players for Proleague.

So you are telling me that the endless hyping of a guy who used to be really great in another game has come to an end? Well, it was fun, but it was getting a little old.

But honestly, I was hoping for some more tears in this thread. It's the elephant extinction guys!

looks like Flash was not okay with merely being a good player in Korea considering where he came from in BW. I mean he's still pretty young so I don't think age was the reason for retirement.
Sad though as LotV is kind of a new starting point, would have been awesome to see what he could have done with that
Just ahead of time, know your addiction's not a crime. It's just a smaller part of who you want to become in the end.

YES, Flash has no place in the new starcraft universe. This retirement is inevitable. Fallen god detected. Farewell the last Xel'naga \m/
