Really sad news...
I was really hoping he would be back at the top !!!
I remember epic games from him especially vs DRG, and when he was in PRIME team with Maru, I remember Maru was like the young apprentice...
Best of luck in your future MKP and thanks for all the good memories.
You will be miss us.
Take care

Sad that the whole match vs Byul ever happened. Whenever I see MKP, that is the first thing I remember about him. Wish that hadn't tainted all the great memories he has left us with. He has been rather irrelevant for a while, but I'll still miss the excitement and occasional craziness he brought. GL MKP.

Given where he was at, this was pretty much inevitable. But he already left SC2 once, so I'm not as down on this as I would have been otherwise. He'll probably come back again

Those marine splits in the early days of SC2 will never be forgotten. Shame how he never won that GSL, and how it all ended.

Best of luck in the future, MKP!

Those last few months have been rough.

I guess this is kind of a disappointing ending to a truly interesting player, it was very hard not to like a guy that had the balls to call himself "Foxer" back in the day, gg!

Hope he finds something he loves as much as he seemed to love SC2 in his next endeavors.

I've always wondered how MKP would have done in a KeSPA team setting when he's mentally and emotionally stable. I feel like he could have and would have won a GSL or SSL.

Alas, another "what if" that leaves you yearning for more. Hope for the best for MKP.

Fingers crossed Creator makes a run through GSL and doesn't retire. I wouldn't be able to handle 2 ex-Prime players and my favorite Protoss retiring within the same year

Sad day. MKP was my favorite player, I was hoping he could return to form after that Hot6ix cup. There's always Maru now at least!

"MarineKing has retired from StarCraft 2 starting today. During this time he worked really hard and was a friend who overcame a lot of challenges. I talked with him a lot yesterday but he wants to find a new road. He doesn't really know what he wants to do yet but please cheer for him."

End of an era.

the NHL94Online.com league i'm in is looking for one more player to complete our Spring Season league.
