oh well, one bane of SKT less to worry about, still sad because he was one of the Zergs i actually enjoyed watching.


Pretty sure it has nothing to do with current Bw situation at all and he would make the same decision if sc2 would have never been published too.

I admire Effort for being a rational and goal-oriented man. He won the most respected BW league, and now he will develop skills in other areas of life, while he's young. Very smart guy, he's gonna be big some day.

I'm not really surprised, in his interviews and in ceremonies he has demonstrated that his life goals reach far beyond any realms of the progaming scene.

For once, this seems wholly unrelated to SC2, and seems more to be a "Can I REALLY make a living doing this? I'm my team's best player and they're not paying me enough" situation instead.

Still...For a team's indisputable ace player to leave...CJ has no shot at winning the proleague anymore.

Yeah, but it's not guaranteed to be tons of money in the long run. If I were genuinely worried about my financial future, I'd probably do the same in the same situation. Besides, there's no better time in his life to make this decision, rather than when it's way too late.

Haha, gg CJ. Out of the top zergs I never liked Effort and I still hate him for robbing Flash of his gold (though Flash did play stupidly). Seems like the playing field is getting weaker for the top teams now.

Damn. Very sad, awesome player. Don't see how it's really related to SC2 at all.
