MMA was the main reason i started loving starcraft, his inspiring play at the finals with Losira at MLG made me realise how awesome starcraft could be, since that day MMA was like my idol and i've never followed someone as much as i did with him, i must have watched more that 90% of his streamed played games for sure. Guess i started playing with him and will stop playing with him as well. Thank u friend for all this years with me i'll miss you. | ||

Usually the ones who are not very successful - in that case, their retirement usually comes with little fanfare and notice. The ones whose retirements we notice are the successful ones usually, and they have the tournament titles, $$$ and fans. | ||

Can't get attached to any korean players because the military will make almost all of them retire after a few years or less. | ||

That MLG was the most fun I've ever had watching any tournament and that incredible final vs Losira showed how amazing the game could be. One of the biggest highlights for me since I started watching Starcraft in March 2011 | ||

It's not a waste of time if you're like Flash I guess. You earn a lot of money before you're 18, then you retire when you're 23-24 years old (slightly earlier could have been ideal if I were Flash) and go for a university degree. For anyone else, it's probably a waste if time unless they want to get some degree which won't help earn much money. | ||
