A legend retired yesterday. Bora "YellOwStaR" Kim's League of Legends career ended with a fizzle, but he left an ever-lasting impact in his wake. He's one of the oldest veterans who survived burn-out and roster changes and achieved several regional and international milestones.

Even though he supported for Team SoloMid for a stint, he will always be synonymous with the Fnatic organization. He reached his peak with Fnatic and exits as a competitor with Fnatic. YellOwStaR was a capable marksmen, but a world-class support. He endured periods of questionable mechanics but his shotcalling and leadership was always praised by teammates.

Here are six iconic moments from his career that embody his lasting influence in League.

6. Season One World Championship

In the first League of Legends World Championship, YellOwStaR made it to the grand finals as Against All Authority's marksman. They defeated Team Solomid in winners and losers bracket to meet against his future team, Fnatic.

They won the first game solidly, but because they came from losers, Fnatic had a free one game advantage. aAa had to win two game while Fnatic only had to win one more. Fnatic won and were crowned champions.

YellOwStaR was one single game away from being a champion, a title that eluded him for his entire career. But starting from 2011 and staying relevant all the way until the end is a testament to his dedication and skill in League of Legends. The competition during season one is amateur compared to today, but YellOwStaR progressed alongside time.

5. YellOwStaR Qualifies for Worlds and the LCS

The legacy he would leave in Europe was almost interrupted. YellOwStaR had a trial period with Team Millennium. His trial ended and he left to join SK Gaming as their ADC.

At the Season 2 Regional Finals, his second tournament with SK, YellOwStaR reached the finals, notably defeating the European powerhouse, CLG.EU, with a clean 2-0. By beating a team whose skill was only rivaled by Moscow 5 in their region, SK was guaranteed a spot at the Season Two World Championship. Additionally, by placing in the top three SK qualified for Season 3's LCS the first of its kind.

Once again YellOwStaR made it to the world stage. The team hugged one another in celebration of their victory almost as if they had won the finals. Though they lost to M5 0-2, it was a landmark for YellOwStaR.

4. YellOwStaR Dominates the EU LCS with Fnatic

After SK's disappointing 0-3 run in the group stage in the Season Two World Championship, YellOwStaR left the team and gave up a secure spot in the European LCS to join Fnatic. At the time, Fnatic had to qualify for the LCS after getting third at the Season Two Regional Finals.

Fnatic was then composed of Paul "sOAZ" Boyer and Christoph "nRated" Seitz, former teammates, and Enrique "xPeke" Martinez and Lauri "Cyanide" Happonen. They were a team stacked with talent and qualified easily.

As ADC, YellOwStaR helped Fnatic win the Spring Season with a 22-6 score and took first in the playoffs too, defeating Gambit Gaming in the finals 3-2.

During the season break, Fnatic announced a major roster change. They dropped nRated and brought in Johannes "Puszu" Uibos as ADC, moving YellOwStaR as support.

It was a surprising change, especially after a dominant split. In the Summer Season, they faltered with a score of 15-13 ending up in second place. It showed a possible weakness in the team due to their roster change. However, they turned it around in the Summer Playoffs defeating Lemondogs in the finals 3-1.

3. YellOwStaR's 2013 Worlds Run

It tough to decide whether he reached a better peak during the 2013 or 2015 World Championship.

YellOwStaR Fnatic had no South Korean team in their 2015 group, but beat EDG in the playoff bracket. In 2013, they beat Samsung Galaxy Ozone, Gambit Gaming, and Team Vulcun in group stage to get first seed. Fnatic also beat Cloud 9 in their quarterfinals to advance.

They went up against the power of Royal Club in the semifinals which proved to be too much. Fnatic only took one game away in the Bo5 set. 2013 marked YellOwStaR's first height with the Fnatic organization. He had gone from a terrible showing in 2012 Worlds to earning a top four position.

And at this Worlds, Fnatic beat Samsung Galaxy Ozone twice, even though many said they choked hard.

2. The 18-0 Split

2014 hadn't been a good year for Fnatic or YellOwStaR. They took first in the Spring Playoffs and second in the Summer Playoffs, falling to Alliance. At Worlds Fnatic went 2-4 in group stage and thus faced elimination. YellOwStaR's ability came into question, especially with the infamous misplay on thresh. He would go on to be criticized for poor mechanics and champion pool.

For 2015, Fnatic rebuilt their roster due to the departure of the rest of the team. They brought on Seong "Huni" Hoon Heo, Kim "Reignover" Ui-jin, Fabian "Febiven" Diepstraten, and Pierre "Steelback" Medjaldi. They were second in the 2015 Spring Season and earned another Spring Playoff title as champions.

More than anything, this showed YellOwStaR's confidence in the Fnatic organization to rebuild a capable roster. It was also a risky decision since I'm sure he received team offers around that time. Sticking with Fnatic was a gamble that paid off.

For the Summer Season and Playoffs, Fnatic dropped Steelback in exchange for Martin "Rekkles" Larsson. The roster with arguably the best players in their respective positions broke records in the LCS. The team went 18-0 in the regular season and undefeated up until the finals where they defeated Origen 3-2, which gave Fnatic and YellOwStaR's their fifth LCS title.

For the cherry on top, YellOwStaR received the MVP trophy for the 2015 Summer Split.
