At least keep that shit to your side of the forums. | ||

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. I think it's pretty obvious that he just wants to leave professional gaming behind. Which is sad, but admirable. Yes you can win a lot of money in SC2 and Brood War, but at some point you'll have to move on to something else in your life. Take up a career of some sort. It seems like Effort has decided to get a head start on that part of his life. With that said, if he comes back out and says he's actually moving to SC2 and that he just lied about leaving professional gaming then he will no longer be one of my favorites. Moving to SC2 wouldn't be so bad, but lying about your intentions is fucked up. | ||

He was able to accomplish more than 99% of the other "BW hopefuls" that have moved on. I'd rather him leave on a high note than not have his heart in it for 2-3 more years and just disappoint everyone who cheers for him. | ||

I've always thought Effort would become the next Jaedong It's too bad he's retiring but good luck to his future endeavors. | ||

For one, he could still choose to retire and the spot would have gone to #4 (or CJ would have sent someone else in his place), and also had he placed #3 in WCG Korea it would have only helped him further with his salary negotiations. | ||

It might be a good move in terms of Effort's personal life, but we're all BW fans here so naturally we're sad to lose a great player in his prime. But good luck to Effort and respect for deciding to go back to your studies. | ||

On the other hand, the starcraft scene is losing players at a dramatic pace. It's only time before the whole system is dismantled. Who knows if blizzard is behind all of this  UN* UN* UN* | ||

I'd rather him leave on a high note than not have his heart in it for 2-3 more years and just disappoint everyone who cheers for him. It's less about this individual event and more about all the other recognizable faces as well leaving the game as a whole. That's strange to say because I'm a huge EffOrt fan, but the whole series of events is what has me bummed. More power to EffOrt that hes not afraid to move away from something he can't put his fullest into, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to be bummed about the state of BW as a whole. | ||

At least keep that shit to your side of the forums. Why are you causing problem for no reason? What about the BW die hards who enjoy both scenes? People like you are creating a rift in the community between the old and the new. It's not an us against them mentality. We both enjoy similar games and scenes. | ||
