He's gonna study and make a man of himself.

Good for you effort!

Good luck in the future..

Thanks for bringing such great games..


You noob?

If you have read the thread carefully you would understand why people were speculating whether Effort moved to SC2.

If he actually won the third spot in WCG, would he still retire?

Good luck Effort in your future career.

He finished 4th. He lost to Kal in the 3rd place match.


He was asking IF effort got the third place would he have stuck around.

I think he would've finished up WCG and quit after that.

Looking at what CJ was doing, it looks like he was planning on it for a while.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

Dammit Effort. I didn't want to freak out over BW "dying" and all until now, but yeah a guy at the top of his game jumping ship is a sign that things are going to shit.

This is really sad. Effort was one of my favorites and was hands down the second best Zerg in Brood War right now. Shocking and disappointing but I really want to see follow up interviews after Korean Thanksgiving.

More like first Coach Cho (CJ), then Coach Cho (OZ), then coach Ha (MBC), then half of Woongjin, THEN Effort.

FML this is depressing.

edit: not to mention tons of no name B-Teamers leaving the game to boot. Like the guy at the top of this page says, it seems like any news in BW is bad news these days.

No effing way. This is so incredibly sad. Every day I see more sad news about Brood War. I'm still in such denial. This can't be

If I ever see Bisu in the header of one of these threads, I might cry.

Pretty crappy news if you ask me.

The article says that he has no intentions of playing Starcraft 2 but I'm not necessarily sure I believe in the sincerity of his remarks. There's a metric fuck ton of money to be had playing SC2, but it's very possible he just wants to do think like go back to school or finish his military service or something like that.

Why is it so hard to believe that someone would like to do something other than play BW for 12 hours a day? No reason for anyone to feel bad.
