Wings of Liberty[edit]

A relative unknown, Silver managed to qualify for the IEM Season V US - Regular Season Cup. He won Cup 1 defeating fellow Canadian HuK in the finals. Following this cup, there was much talk surrounding Silver. While many thought he was a smurf, it was revealed that he was a former Warcraft III player. The community began to praise his intelligence in-game and he instantly became a fan favourite for many after defeating top players from each race, IdrA 2-0, qxc 2-1 and HuK 3-2. This victory gave him a spot in the IEM Group Stages.

Retirement[edit]

On October 15, 2010, Silver announced his retirement in gaming stating, "In the last 6 months I have been absorbed in the competitive world of StarCraft and it has been fun, however, there comes a time when the narrow scope of a video game is not enough to sustain a man’s love of life".[2]
