In the early days, I followed Broodwar very little away from WCG, but I'd heard about this kid who was crushing everyone in Korea and over the years and my involvement with SC2, I hoped, prayed even that I'd get the chance to see him play live, complete with his ruler and measuring his positions up in a booth. He also inspired me (along with Bomber) to play Terran when I learned the game and honestly, without him, one of my favourite events might not have been as good as it was. IEM Toronto was of course stacked with great players, but the presence of Flash was something I was really looking forward to and for a time, he was actually looking like his old godlike self. He actually had a chance to win an event and delivered! In addition, I got to completely fanboy him (something I rarely do in esports) with three of us (me, Nathanias and Qxc) all doing the praying (as Terrans of course!). I also had the crazy pleasure of being baptized in Toronto, all be it with a bucket of ice by Flash and I gave him my Kappa tie, which had been specially made for the event. It's such a shame players like this have to retire one day, but then you get to share your experiences of why a player made such a difference to you and Flash is one of those players for me. I can count on one hand how many of these special, elite players in esports there are or have been and Flash is on that list. I think we will all have stories and memories to keep thanks to Flash, I know I will have some that will stay with me for my entire life, so for those and many others, thank you Flash, you've been epic. “All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.” | ||

Dota 2 isn't popular in Korea, and not only that, is completely different and is team-based. He's better off transistioning into a SC2 coach, streaming on afreeca/BW tournaments, or go on variety shows and commercials like Boxer and Yellow | ||

I'd prefer to see him again in Broodwar along with Bisu and the rest. But not retiring from progaming, no, damn... what a shock! | ||

My ulitmate goal is to become a head coach of KT Rolsters, making it the mightiest team of the world." I will wait for this day to happen. | ||

Man I love bw much more than sc2 but the bw scene atm is a joke to what it was. Just compare the games to the old kespa ones. 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 thought he could get out of army duty due to winning a WCG or something? Good to hear though :D | ||

A real somber moment for fans of this beautiful game.Anyone have a link to the last showmatch he played vs Jaedong? Also JD's response makes me kind of sad too. | ||
