Of course MMA was far more successful in SC2 than MMA was. More decorated for sure. But again, would have been interesting to see how he fared in later-2013 through 2015 if he stuck in Korea the entire and tried to grind it out in the Korean being a regular for a top Proleague team but he didn't go that route... anyway just saying, I'll leave it there.. Don't get your panties in a bunch. [Another "hater" I presume huh]. I really enjoyed watching MMA play and have massive respect for his accomplishments. Just saying it's hard to measure up with someone like FlaSh entire Starcraft legacy and his impact on the game in general, on the who, who similarly just recently retired and was a player I personally loved hence why I made that comment. That is all... Interesting you'd pick up just that part of post to reply to like that... but I guess that speaks to the some sections of the fans and their fandom with SC2. | ||

I've always loved this saying, and it's inspiring when the "older" heads come back against the odds to acheive some sort of success when big changes in games/sports/etc occur and they come back after many have counted them out and show some of their past true brilliance, despite any possible personal problems or other compromising issues (health, decline in mechanical skill, that kind of stuff). MMA was always a warrior and real champion, and that attitude is always inspiring to see. Again, sad to see him go now, even it was kind of seen coming. | ||

I guess many decided to leave with LotV since learning a new game just to quit a few months afterwards doesn't make sense. Now, the problem really is that we don't have enough new faces, but they do exist and its probably enough. Its not keeping up with retirements but SC2 has more than enough players atm. | ||

His play was so memorable, the legacy of BoxeR. Still remember that first WCS finals I watched, MMA did a hidden rax to MC and beat him in the most impressive way I had seen like ever. Farewell MMA, we love you for you will forever be in our memories. | ||

You could easily be succesful progamer well into your 30s. Actually one of the best csgo players are almoust 30, people tend to play cs longer than sc. People retiring around 25 or even earlier, very likely doesnt have to do anything with actual age itself. | ||
