One of my absolute favourite players in sc2. Very sad to see him leave....
Its been a pleasure to watch his genius, and slightly insane, brain at work =)

Sad that he retires. He was a major contributor to the great book of Protoss bullshit and one of my favorite players.

All the best for the future.

This is shocking to see him retire. But I guess at that age he'll eventually have to go to military service as well.
Although he wasn't making Ro4's in GSL, I think he was starting to find his way back to a better form and set of results as of late.

No doubt he'll go down as one of the greats of SC2 due to him at his peak as a multi time world champion and his unique playstyle and insane builds.

I hope he stays in the scene even if he isn't a pro-gamer. This is a big loss for the SC2 community.

Damn, this for me was completely unexpected (I'm still catching up on last GSL season, been busy). I wish him well for the future. Definitely a shock to the system.

One of the best, and most entertaining, Protosses imo. I wish him the best.

He was on an upswing too, was excited for his form... :c A legendary career befits his legacy. Wish him the best of luck in the future!
On another note, he was the go-to third option for Team NV in WTL; now, their best Protoss is Creator, who is also on an upswing if his Open Cups are anything to watch out for. It seems DRG will have to take on being a singular third option for big matches

Well, GL HF in whatever you choose as the next career move!
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Seems sad that pro players retire in this "lonely" or quiet way.

It will be nice if the GSL could do farewell to players like Inno, SoS, (and others). They have dedicated and added so much to the scene.

And it will be nice to the fans too.

My favourite time of sOs is between his world championships. That Proleague year had a very zerg favoured map. JAGW sent out sOs on that map over and over again. sOs cannon rushed and won over and over again. Other teams tried sending out protoss to cannon rush, but without success.
When the map rotated out, sOs started winning with cannon rushes on the next map.
Good times!

This is extremely sad.

sOs was by far and away my favourite SC2 player.

During his prime years, he was clutch as hell, always bringing it for big games.

He was also one of the most (if not the most) entertaining SC2 player. His unique style made for some crazy games. His ability to adapt to any of the crazy situations his games would end up with was so fun to watch. You could see he made his opponents extremely uncomfortable and this brought a quality to the games that the more generic optimal progamer way of playing didn't. Everyone involved had to play in a intuitive and 100% reactive way.

He will be greatly missed.

Nooo T^T

Last season he was doing so good, beating Maru too, only being stopped by Trap. If Trap beat Parting in Group as he was seeded, maybe sOs could have beaten Parting, then Bunny, then be in the Grand Finals. Though Dark did beat Rogue so I suppose he wouldn't have a chance against Dark.

Oh well, was really nice to see him play well last season, I wonder if he retired this season because he was struggling, or he was weak this season because he was planning to retire and didn't practice much.

He was my favorite player, he's like the Boxer of SC2.

At least he did get many achievements, and he's in the top 10 of SC2 players. Just too bad he couldn't get 1 or 2 GSL gold medals, but he got many 2nd places which is still cool.

I will miss sOs, I'm so glad at least his series vs Maru was season was awesome, and his games vs Ragnarok this season in Code A were pretty cool!
