I'm guessing not SC2 since it's retiring not transitioning as the title. July and Nada didn't get a retirement thread just they were moving and both those threads were made by Milkis. So unless he wants to screw with us it's an actual retirement.

ET phone home.

Even if BW survives now, it's going to be pretty boring to have almost guaranteed T1 vs KT in finals.

edit: but best of luck to him in his future endeavors. It's probably better to go out near the peak of your play, especially with that amazing comeback OSL trophy.

The fuck? Effort is still an S-class, isn't he? I don't understand the reasoning behind this.

Yep, he's S-Class alright. You can't talk about the top players in the scene w/o him. This confuses me as well. I can understand lesser players moving to SC2 but he's doing so well in BW, I doubt it's an SC2 move.

I guess it's not because of sc2, probably studies etc.Retirement also sounds like it. But let's wait for translation

It is not yet time! =(
He's the #2 zerg on my BW list.
Now I hope maybe we can see some of him in sc2 if that is the case.

The articles state retirement. There was no specific mention of sc2, but who knows.

WHAT? :'( I really liked effort. That's a real shame, this might actually be a sign of BW going into the pits.

Edit: Best of luck to Effort in his studys and in life. One of the best zergs around, he will be missed.

i actually saw this one coming. And I think that my prediction for no more JvF Bw finals will stay true as well with this. Guarantee he says he's going to go play SC2 or serve his military duty. What else can one like him do?

EDIT:now that i think about it, SC2 would be a brilliant option for him. Effort is the only current S-Class player that has dropped out of the BW Scene. Yes July, Boxer, Nada, and others are S-Class, but they are older and not nearly as close to the peak of their career like Effort is.

Upset Flash to win Starleague, retire. I must admit it's a solid build.

Well I'm guessing Milkis read those articles before titling his threads.

Google translate says


Kim Woo CJ entuseu one ahead of the professional league 10-11 season opening was suddenly announced his retirement.

CJ with a 20 am press release that announced the retirement of Kim Jung-Woo players were "somewhat in the process of negotiating with Kim Jong Woo's comments did not overcome the differences, Kim crying the next game and ultimately chose a different career," he said .

Wu CJ Kim's exclusive one player, last season, a win for the airline, as well as the Star League, Professional League played a prominent role in the Korea e-Sports Association rankings based on two big plays on the rise and as a member of the unfolded CJ.

Kim sings "is not a sudden decision that I would like to see challenging for a new road has been," said takes a while for personal relaxation, take care about career plans, he said.

How about going to school and study? Not like he's too old for that.

he's too young to retire (born 1991). Obviously moving to SC2 because it's just jd vs flash now in bw.

At least his intentions are pure. I hope he figures out what he wants to do and does it well.

Now this is a weird move... Maybe he got tired of progaming or maybe something happened in the CJ house (besides Savior).

Guess that's pretty much true. After Flash lost like that, there is no way he'll lose like that again. With Jaedong and Flash being the top progamers by far, he's got no chance to reaching a finals again nor does he have a chance of winning proleague without their coach.

Good way to end your career on a high note and prevent yourself from wasting time achieving nothing. Never really liked Effort as a player but respect this decision.
