This makes me really hopeful that Frost Giant creates an RTS worthy of Starcraft.

Even without a GSL title, Parting is definitely one of the Protoss GOATs

There is probably more to his decision than he lets on. I would have loved to see him compete in SC2 for another year, but wish him the best for his military service. He has already given us so much with his amazing skills and entertaining streams.

My favourite PartinG memory is when he won a GSL group and then proceeded to angrily call out us who had predicted on TL.net he would be able to advance. Sorry for doubting you, PartinG!
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Apparently (info from SCboy's stream) he missed deadline for his extension.

You mean, again?
Maybe he should try his luck with Overwatch, like Lilbow and Marinelord

I think if you put together what we know about his attitude toward competition or his streaming revenue (from interviews or the leaks), money hasn't been the primary driver for competing in SC2 tournaments for him for a while. I genuinely think his pride makes it so he doesn't want to the fans to see him unless he's playing at a championship-contender level. If he's already spent the last of his mental energy trying to make a Code S run in 2021, I can see why he wouldn't want to go to Katowice with skill that's not up to his standard.

Huge bummer this one is is there anyone else who could seriously claim to be the greatest GSL contender never to lift the trophy? So many great memories, and hopefully a few more left in the tank, but if not - thank you for everything parting <3

Both are world champions, sOs in 2 different competitions and three times. It's not like they didn't lift anything up. Considering it, Paritng is a WC as well, although he has it from a different kind of tournament xD
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

The first TL article I read was previewing PartinG vs Mvp in Code S semifinals 2012. I was an instant fan. I've followed Starcraft off and on ever since then, but I always tuned in when PartinG was playing. Sucks to see him leaving again, but it was amazing watching him come back to the scene in 2019 and rise back up to contender form.

You could see how heavily GSL losses hit him these last 2 years. He wanted to prove himself with the Code S title that's eluded him his whole career. I feel sad for him to be leaving now without accomplishing his goal, especially when he was so close so many times.

Still one of the Protoss GOATs in my eyes

Though he didn’t show it enough in GSL, I’d also have Taeja above Parting in a GOAT ranking

Still a great player, hope to see him tearing it up again before he goes to military or, if that’s not possible, see him playing competitively in some game when he’s back.

Really gonna miss the guy. His matches brought us so many wild and entertaining games. Best of luck to Parting in his military service and will look forward to his return to SC2 or whatever else he picks up.

He also said he's been going to a clinic, so he's looking after himself. Best of luck to him, he'll always be a sc2 legend. Goodbye, bigboy!
