Farewell sweet prince It's been wild. You held out longer than anyone. IMO one of the most entertaining and honourable players of all time.

Won't bother with adding further Fanta GG timing jokes, seems they've all been covered in the Reddit thread.

Man, I'm choking up.

Mod Edit: Rumour - According to what Xiaose (Chinese caster and one of the founders of China Team Championship) said, he is gonna go coaching LOL players.

My favourite BW player. Sad to see him go, it seemed like he was improving at a very good rate.

So sad to see my boy fantasy retiring i want to see him stream bw but whatever his decision is it will be fine. He has a lot of good games these days like beating reynor, inno, dark, rogue etc and it was all exciting. It's so sad but i wish him well in his future endeavors.

Don't practice until you can get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

The long term future of SC2 is very much unknown, so anyone who isn't a premier tournament winning player moving on is not too surprising.

We'll have some new blood for Ro32 gsl next year cause there is no pgm left (Gumi, herO, Fantasy, Classic & Keen).
The New wave is Chance, Percival, LunaSea and some new rising stars...

Anyway glhf Fantasy, one of my favourite terran. very kind and manner i like this guy. Hope he will be successful in his new way.

Bye Starcraft (bw & scII) Legend

Tragic.. Always an interesting player to watch in both iterations of StarCraft, I couldn't wait to see him return to Brood War. Hopefully we at least see him stream it.

Oh well. Good luck to him in his coaching position.
