I know you won't get this, but how else would I personalize something meant for you? This is coming from a fan of yours during your BW era (I still keep tabs of course, but I've never been a fan of SC2).

I can't believe I'd ever see the day. Flash, you will do well at whatever you choose. You understand what potential truly is. I love and respect you deeply for the amazing and unforgettable Starcraft all your efforts have given me. I've never been a bigger fan of anything or anyone until you came a long. To my own surprise, I'm holding back tears as I write this. Good luck in whatever you do from here - you have the support of thousands of others just like me who's hearts you dwell in.

Well wishes,
Michael.

What was the ultimate reason for Flash retiring? He is still young and certainly wasnt bad at all. He could have gained a second wind and reclaim his former glory. Was he simply tired of pro gaming after 9 years?

There are countless pro gamers who have never achieved same succes as Flash or are not as good as Flash was at retiring, and they are still pursuing the pro gaming life, so why Flash had to retire?

He has done everything a progamer can wish to achieve. Also i think its kind of clever, Flash was allways the type of guy who made the best and optimal choices best in his own universe in the universe of pro starcraft. It takes so much energy to be on top all the time, its very demanding, physical (wristinjury) and mental or psycholigical (to be ahead of your peers 1 step allways). Maybe he could do a second reign but he decided its time for life, its time for discovering a new facet of life maybe real life?

It was a pleasure to watch your starcraft Flash, peace and out!
I am a happy man
