Wow massive blow to CJ. Effort was always one of my favourite zergs. Great game-play and he seemed to have a cute personality from interviews and pictures.
Given how he struggled for a while before coming back and winning a star-league, one can see why he may want to get out. Solid reasoning for wanting to achieve some balance in his life by doing other things like study. Commendable decision but obviously a big loss for us.
Sad that salary negotiations were mentioned as a factor though. But seeing as it also said he had been thinking about this for some time it probably wasn't the only factor.
Good luck Effort! 
(Poor CJ : /. I'm not a major fan but it sucks to lose your Ace and mainstay player. Imagine if Oz lost Jaedong or Hite lost Leta? Poor CJ. Well at least they still have a lot of solid A-teamers. This makes them more like WeMade. Hopefully they all rise to the challenge togther *fingers crossed*)

sucks hes quitting. sucks hes not going to sc2 either.
glhf in life effort, hope you find happiness~
|
Man this is really sad, now CJ's lineup looks terribly weak. I hope their offseason pickup is going to be good.
Not to mention Effort was a solid competitor for the individual leagues.
Sad...  Wish him luck in his future endeavors though.

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. Yeah, this. 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. 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.
Oh yeah, definitely... we should all be bummed out by it, just saying I don't mind the individual reasons Effort did it.

Wow a top 10 sc:bw just retired like that? CJ looks like they will have a tough season, effort was really good for them.

guys, do keep in mind that this is the proleague post-season, where all of this stuff tends to take place. while the advent of sc2 is certainly a leading cause in these decisions thus far, the frequency of retirements etc is far more closely related to the proleague offseason. that's how pro bw goes, don't think too much of it!
Your post makes me feel better already. Thanks FS  .
On an optimistic note, with players retiring/moving on it gives us the possibility of fresh blood and new faces.
|
Wow, I haven't really cared much about any of the recent retirements but this one kinda surprised me
|
NOOOOOO. He was my favorite player. This is so sad. I feel like ive been shot.
|
the only person who can defeat the bonjwa retires, but im proud for effort that he wants to further his life by whatever means he believes is necessary.
|
Kid retired when he was ontop (or at least the height of his career anyway), that's kinda a good way to go out. Will miss his play though, when he as good he was good.
|
Wow, that was weird and unexpected. He didn't even say he what he was doing.
|
|
|
I guess I can understand good for him but bad for BW :C
|
Any news is bad news now...
|
Oh well, I wish him luck in the future. I'm not getting surprised anymore by all this news.
|
WHAT
holy fuck ouch, this really hurts broodwar
|
|
|
okay WTF, this is hella fucking random.
|
I think Stork is still a competitor vs Flash. vs Jaedong I'm not too sure about. Please don't die BW!!
|
I never liked Effort especially after he stole that OSL from Flash, but it's never fun to see a player retire.
Good luck with life, Effort
