I love Birdring and I figured he would retire but man he made me get into OWL and he's the only jersey I have his glad jersey i hope he has a great future but man this makes me emotional. He's inspired me so much and I love him and his play. Too great years of life ahead. Thank you for getting me into this game.
This made me tear up. Been a Glads fan for the past 4 years now and Birdring was such a great player on this team, he easily became one of my favorite players once he joined but this last year I think he became my absolute favorite player in the league. He has brought so many memorable moments and still always stays so humble. Such a precious person. It's such a bittersweet moment to see him retire after 5 years. I will always remember the birdrat against Toronto during the 2020 playoffs. I wish him the best. Enjoy life Birdring, we love you 💜
콩두 판테라, cloud9 콩두 시절에 준우승을 반복해서 이 선수, 이 팀은 정말 우승할 수 있는데, 하며 안타까워했던 기억이 나요. 이후에도 경기를 챙겨보고 있었지만, 스테이지1 타이틀매치에서 당시 최강이라 불리던 뉴욕을 상대로 패패까지 갔다가 승승승으로 역전하는 모습에 정말 감동했었습니다. 당시 시즌 1은 시차 때문에 한국은 새벽에 경기를 봐야하는 경우도 많았는데 일부러 알람을 맞춰 런던 경기는 매번 챙겨봤던 기억이 나네요.
오버워치 특성상 선수들의 손목 부상, 그로 인한 기량 저하가 많아 버드링 선수의 손목 문제 얘기가 들렸을 때는 정말 불안했습니다. 다행히 버드링 선수가 복귀했지만, 런던은 플옵에 턱걸이로 진출한 상황이었고, 1차전도 글래디에게 3:0으로 지면서 이대로 끝나나 싶었습니다. 그런데 2차전부터 3:0으로 압도적으로 글래디를 이기기 시작하더니, 이후 결승전까지 모든 경기를 이기고 우승컵을 들어올리는 모습을 보면서, 앞으로 오버워치 리그에서 이런 드라마틱한 스토리의 팀, 선수는 또 없을 거라 생각했습니다. 그 날 디시 런던갤? 에서 기뻐서 드립 치면서 개념글 많이 보냈던 것도 떠오르네요.
이후 2019 시즌은 지나치게 오래 메타를 지배했던 고츠 메타 때문에 선수든, 팬이든 지치면서 리그, 오버워치 자체가 전체적으로 다운됐던 것 같습니다. 스테이지 말미에 다시 DPS 선수가 딜러를 할 수 있는 메타가 됐지만, 이후 모종의 이유로 플레이오프에서 제외되고, 팀도 무력하게 지는 모습을 보면서 정말 안타까웠고 (썰이 맞다면) 런던의 구단주가 원망스러웠습니다.
여러 이유로 APEX, 리그 초기의 많은 선수들이 은퇴나 타 게임으로 옮겨가던 상황이라, 버드링 선수도 이대로 오버워치에서 보지 못하는 건가 싶었습니다. 그래도 버드링만큼 폭이 넓으면서도 실력이 보장되는 DPS 가 드물기 때문에 팀들이 원할 것이라고 믿었고, 군대에 가 경기는 못 봤지만 글래디로 이적해 좋은 플레이를 보여주고 있다는 소식을 들으며 역시 버드링이다 생각했었습니다.
21 시즌도 역시 군대 때문에 챙겨보지 못하다가, 전역 후 우연히 유튜브에서 스테이지 토너먼트 중계가 뜨더군요. 봤더니 글래디의 카운트다운컵 결승이었습니다. 3점까지 따놓은 상황에서 2세트를 연이어 내주며 3:3 까지 이르렀지만, 버드링이 있기 때문에 이길 것이라고 믿었습니다. 예상대로 우승했고, 이게 글래디의 첫 우승으로 알고 있습니다. 마지막까지 소속팀에게 역대 최고의 성적을 주고 가는게 역시 버드링이라고 생각이 드네요.
우연한 계기 덕분에 버드링 선수의 은퇴 전 우승 모습과 마지막 경기들을 볼 수 있어 다행입니다. 불안정한 오버워치 프로 특성에도 불구하고 꾸준히 잘하고, 꾸준히 성과를 보여주며, 인성 등 게임 외적으로도 문제가 없던 선수기 때문에 정말 좋아했고 응원했습니다. 제 기억 속에서는 영원히 최고의 오버워치 선수일 거예요.
Why do you gotta make me cry right now. Thanks Birdring for giving me joy in watching the Overwatch League games and cheering on the Gladiators. I have a soldier 76 statue that I won from the Burbank blizzard arena raffle with his signature from when he was on the London Spitfire team, I will cherish it even more.
NOOOOOOOOOO 😭Sadly, the rumor was true. I've been cheering him since Season 1 and watching this video broke my heart. We wish Birdring all the best in his future endeavor 💜🖤
I love how much the Gladiators genuinely care about one another, each member of the team is important and this channel alone even proves that with videos like these
I remember watching Birdring absolutely Tracer diffing Effect back in Apex. Him and Rascal were amazing and the fact they both got championships after they split up makes me happy. The OG Kongdoo core lives on in Void. Birdring a LEGEND. Hall of famer best believe that.
Man Birdring is my favorite player since he joined the Gladiators. I loved the redemption arc he had, proving everyone wrong and demonstrating the caliber of player he has always been. I'm gonna miss this guy
not ashamed to admit that this almost bought me to tears. gonna miss watching this absolute goat of a player but i hope he finds happiness in whatever he chooses to persue! hes always gonna be a gladiator in my heart
One of the most underrated players in OWL history, with consistent top tier performances. It was amazing to see him on glads this seasons, popping off time and time again. We love you birdring, thank you for your amazing performances. Good luck for your future endeavors!
Man is the whole reason I started watching Overwatch League. The only player jersey I own is a Spitfire Birdring one. You'll be missed but have a nice retirement, thank you 💕
Can't help but shed tears for an absolute legend stepping away from pro play. Truly one of the OGs and GOATs of Pro Overwatch and will be severely missed. Wish you nothing but a happy retirement Birding, you've more than earned it after all that you've accomplished, thanks for all the memories and much love.
Im gonna miss you Birding. This year was definitely his best performance for me and Im glad he could retire on such as high! Thank you Glads for this touching video and a good send off to a legend. Once a Gladiators... Always a Gladiator
Man this was already a banging of goodbye video. Would of hit me harder if seagull said a few words. Alot of nostalgia memories from following birdring journey.
I love you birdring, you are my hero and you are the best DPS player in my heart. I will miss you... 지혁이형님 지금까지 진짜 고생많았고 저에게 웃기도 하고 슬플 수 있게 만들어준 선수가 형이라서 너무 너무 좋습니다 ㅎㅎ 정말 아쉽고 보내주고 싶지 않지만 시즌2때부터 고민한걸 팬들과 동료들을 위해 지금까지 달려온 걸 이제 알기에 더는 붙잡을 수 없겠죠....그치만 런던 스핏파이어, la 글래디에이터즈 그리고 오버워치리그는 형님을 절대 잊지 못할거고 저를 포함한 팬들도 형님을 절대 잊지못할겁니다 앞으로 버드링이 아닌 김지혁의 인생에 행복이 가득하기를 바라고 저는 버드링과 김지혁 모두를 끝까지 응원하겠습니다 화이팅!!! (그치만 눈물이 멈추지를 않아...ㅠㅠㅠ)
this really made me tear up i love birdring & i hope he does well after OWL too. I think he'll be remembered much more positively than just "a decent dps player"
BIRDRING! It has been a pleasure watching you play. You are so talented and we will all miss you so much! Part of me is hoping that you might come back sometime, not for any other team, because - Once a Gladiator, always a Gladiator. Good luck worlds most wonderful Birdring :) 💜🖤💜🖤 Also, i'm gonna watch your stream! ^-^
Bye bye birding. Thank you for inspiring lots of ow player. Your time with us has been amazing and seeing u play this past 3 years have been amazing thank you for everything
BIRDRIIIIING! when I think glads, I think birdring. its gonna be tough without you. You are definitely a "decent" dps player and I won't forget you. best of luck in the future in all you do!
Birdring is retired? Nooooooooooooooo ;_; Honestly, I FELT Kevster at the start of the interview. That "Are you sure?.....fuck." Dude, I'm gonna go cry for a while now. Thank you so much, Birdring. Even before joining the Glads, you have been absolutely amazing to watch and we appreciate you giving us the gift of just letting us watch you play. We'll never forget all the brilliant plays and good times you gave us
Best retirement video any team has ever made. I wish more players got this kind of a send-off.
Can’t wait to watch the man’s stream.
Not many players have the hype and respect around their name the way birdring has, I think that's why this video was made the way it was.
The striker one tho

버드링 선수 apex 시절부터 봤는데 은퇴라니.. 너무 슬프고 아쉽네요 😭 한동안 안 보다가 최근에 글래디에 입덕하면서 보는데, 이전의 그 폼 그대로 가지고 있는 모습 보고 정말 멋지다고 생각했어요. 고생하셨습니다~
I love how much the Gladiators genuinely care about one another, each member of the team is important and this channel alone even proves that with videos like these
good luck Birdring on your journey!! we're gonna miss you so much!! :DD
I remember watching him all the way in 2016, guy was cracked and will always be cracked

I had more and more tears running down my face as the video played from beginning to the end
A large amount of tears are exiting my eyes at a rapid rate
Birdring got me into owl man seeing him retire is super sad but I wish him luck on whatever he has up next! ONCE A GLADIATOR ALWAYS A GLADIATOR 💜🖤
sad to see you go Birdring! lots of love and thanks for being with us. GLHF in whatever you decide to do!

NOOOOO. Always had to respect the name no matter what team he was in. I hope that where ever he does next that he will be happy.

콩두vs부산보고나서 부터 버로핏 둘다좋아한 딜러라서 리그초창기부터 런던팬되엇고 첫스테이지 우승부터 첫파이널우승까지 정말감격스런 선수엿습니다. 서울과 글레디로 나뉘고나서도 동부와 서부각각 응원하며 버드링은 꾸준히 잘해왓지만서도 이번 카운트다운컵 우승햇을때 드디어빛을보나 싶엇어요 그런 내최애선수가 은퇴라니... 개인유튜브라도 운영하시면 꾸준히챙겨보고싶네요
What a wonderful send off. Thank you so much glads for this. Despite my fav player retiring, I'll always support you guys and ofc birdring.
I love you birdring, you are my hero and you are the best DPS player in my heart. I will miss you...

man kevster seems so genuinely sad
That's what wrecked me most. You can tell it hit him hard, which is saying a lot about Birdring since Kev only met him in person this season.
yea i think he was trying really hard not to cry :( cant blame him
this really made me tear up i love birdring & i hope he does well after OWL too. I think he'll be remembered much more positively than just "a decent dps player"
thank you birdring for all the wonderful memories since season 1. I wish you the best in the future 💜
I’m sad. No one can ever replace this guy.
