Don't people do this a lot tho? They retire citing that sc2 isn't the reason, and then a few weeks later we find out they are doing something with sc2.

Good for him. He got to live the dream and is getting out before his life gets consumed by it. All the old progamers who stay too long look so sad and beaten down, but they get stuck in the BW scene because they have zero life skills outside of BW. I'm really happy for the guy, and hope he does well with whatever he moves on to.

Shame to see ya go Effort, you'll be missed. I can kinda understand I mean he won a Starleague off of Flash. I mean at that point how much further can you go in broodwar? You either set a goal of "I'am gunna get a golden mouse" or.. you call it a day and find a new goal unrelated to broodwar. I am happy to see him happy so as long as he does what he does I'll be happy for um Though I am curious to see what he plans to do.

Dudes, stop thinking he's gonna go over to Starcraft 2 - I hope he succeeds well in whatever domain he chooses, prooving us there is a possible life after being a progamer.

What a sad day. This was the guy who was the most probable to put an end to Flash's dominance.

And LOL at all the SC2 fanboys who thinks he will play that game instead when the post clearly says he won't.

Stopping at peak makes legend...? At least if you're good.

Sad to see this phenomenon come to an end. I was really enjoying his new zvz style, but I guess he just passed the torch to kwanro. ^^

Awesome, props to Effort for moving on with his live outside of gaming. I was a big Effort fan and still am, guess Kwanro and JD will have to do now :D
