Rough translation, via Google:

"Hello ~ I have been writing for a long time. On March 16th, I joined the army. It sounds like this is the last time you say hello to Amas 2 gamers. In retrospect, I think there have been a lot of things for six years. I wanted to do better as a gamer and wanted to get better grades. I'm sorry to hear that. I am happy to meet good people, have good experiences, and have good memories while I'm doing my 2nd. Please support me a lot of the 2 gamers who play very hard because the game 2 of the game is very hard. Thank you for those who cheered!"

He followed his heart and found out where it would lead him. In the end I think that's worth quite a bit.

Happy symbol was a starcraft player... He definitely contributed to my enjoying the scene in his time as a player. Best of luck!

Expected but sad.

When he rose up in 2012, he was a very innovative and consistently strong player. Once he hit 2014 though it just seemed like he decided to coast the rest of his career. If he would've continued putting in the effort like he did back in 2012 I think he totally could've been one of the best Zergs again, but it just never materialized.

He had some great games too:

beginning of the reverse all-kill vs Losira

one of many against Marineking

vs. Seed

legendary game against Sculp

epic ZvZ against soO

One more for the road vs TRUE in LotV

Awww. So Abrupt. I like it more when they say "This is my last season." So we can cheer them on one last time before they go.

Symbol to me is one of those old names that rings quite a bell. I still remember his roach and nydus games. He never did win a GSL but his play was entertaining at the time. Best of luck to him ~

he hasn't been active since 2016 tournament wise, it's usually abrupt when this is the case, shouldn't be surprising though best of luck to him and hope he uses what he learned in sc to use tactics in the military
