I never thought giyom's career would end before bw is no professional sport in korea anymore and I don't think that now...
giyom will find a team fo sure, but I'm pretty sure he will never come to a level he has been years ago

also you overrate his past achievements! he has been the best OUTSIDE korea for years when noone here knew how strong the koreans really were
when he went to korea he was very good no doubt, but he was never the best

Between 99 - early 2001 Grrr was the best in the world.

Mensrea is right. Back in the day Grrr was beyond a doubt the best out there. Hell when he was dominating Bnet ladder (Back when it meant something) he actually had to change nicks because people refused to play him, thats when he was The~Insane~Frog. I've met Grrrr before and wish him the best of luck. Anyone who says he doesn't deserve to be there anymore its ignorant. It's like saying a piece of world history no longer belongs in the museum. Grrrr made vast advanced in this game, was monumental player and helped changed the way things are looked at it. Definately a legend of the game.

Congrats to him, even if he doesn't find a team.

It's like Bill Russel returning and asking for Shaq's salary. That's a bit extreme, but you probably get the point.

Hi.
Looks are subjective.
However 20 peoples opinion > your opinion.
See how that works?

All who say Grrrr... sucks didnt start with bw 98. And he wasnt the best outside of korea in 98,99,00. He was the one who made bw famous in korea. Or lets say, he wasnt the first foreign gamer to play professional, he was ONLY foreign gamer who was the best player of the world for quite a time. He won some of the biggest events, was the most famous and popluar gamer around the world. Beat theboy in for the early time amazing games..

Grrrr was one of the best gamers of all times.
Boxer was one of the best gamers of all times.( will be again )
Nada is one of the best gamers of all times.

Today, Giyom is stuggling because the competition level of bw has gotten so freaken high that he isn't cutting it at a high level, but his image alone gets soo much respect in Korea. And yea he's pretty good looking for a Canadian

Yellow is one of greatest of all time. Everyone forgot our Boxer's Shadow T.T Garimto too assholes!.
As for Grrr, He isn't that big a Celeb, he isn't popular that much cuz he doesn't win, 35USD isn't too bad to live off of if you get paid housing. Housing or land costs are what kill you in Korea but otherwise is fine. I think he shoulda took it. Maybe he will go back to Canada and... do whatever before this.
