The Wc3 player, ToD, has decided to retire. This is possibly the most notable retirement since Creo in the Wc3 scene and ToD has also been shown on a lot of the GomTV VoDs as a spectator.

Sorry if this isn't relevant for TL, but seemed like pretty big news :O.

Maybe cauz he doesn't want to be the "fish" for low limit grinder's hunter ? )
Respects though, that was probably a very wise decision.

w3 is more or less dying especially in france, and it seems that he doen't want to play anymore because we all have a time where the game isn't fun anymore you know..
He was about to participate the world eswc final but now that we all know games service (aka one of the biggest sponsor for eswc) went bankrupt and then there wasn't eswc coming so he took a "nap".
I think that's the reason.

Hm i liked him too, i loved watching tod vs sky vods back in o7 when seed was giving commentaries but meh.

Seed was the reason i got back into starcraft

Seed commentated in the wcgs so he is pretty good

watch some of him at www.imbavid.com

I loved how tod used to chat in game and say stuff like "ADVANCED PRIEST TRAINING IS GOING UP! GET UR DEFS READY!!!"

He lists his country as South Korea and a French poster said it was obviously him.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Watching ToD play at Blizzcon was quite inspiring. I was playing WC3 somewhat competitively at the time, and he was doing things that were absolutely unheard of.

I'm sure if he really is retiring, he'll be back on another game (SC2 maybe?) in the future. ... Or he'll just start playing WC3 again. =P

And so says most everyone who retires from esports, 3 months before diving back in.
