He JUST played in a tournament where he archon-moded with Jaedong and won the archon tournament. WHY

Code S ro16 won't be the same without him. This might sound like a backhanded compliment but it's not. The guy was too stubborn to make SC2 work for him in individual leagues at the highest levels, but he always brought a sense of gravity, integrity, and urgency to any competition he took part in.

It was easy to overlook Flash for other, more successful Terrans, but by the time he was in that fifth match of the deciding bracket in the ro16 you know I was rooting for him all over again. I'll really miss that.

Isn't that a pretty average age for a Korean progamer to retire?

I imagine he stuck around to give LoTV a shot and decided it wasn't for him, would explain the timing at least.

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.

Maybe SPL is confirmed to exclude Archon?

NOOO! I don't agree!

Now there's almost no reason to watch SC2.

Not super soon, but definitely not average. His god rivals like Jaedong are even older than him

7 pages and nobody has delved into the legion of unimpressed Flash pics is a bigger shock to me than the retirement announcement.
