A little under two years ago CJ had GGPlay, Savior, Effort, and Kwanro. There was some inexperience and slumping but that is still a very deep line up. Now they have Hydra, Orion, and Miso.

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


Hahahaha.. I was thinking that...honestly I can't believe another Zerg has fallen!
Jaedong stands alone at the top now.

I think this is pretty big news that has hit the community kinda hard. Would be cool if we could get a tribute video for his carrier, sorry if I'm overstepping my boundaries, but this would be front page worthy imo.

He won an OSL only 4 or 5 months ago and he's retiring already? I wonder what he has planned for his future...

Omg sc2 is killing bw one by one. Such a slow and painful death...
On other note I wish him all the best in his career.

He won the OSL versus Flash in his prime.. Quit while you're ahead I guess. Good luck to Effort, loved your plays!

I can't help but feel that this is a good decision for effort, he is still young. Plenty of time to get an education instead of sticking around a dying scene.

Good luck in the future effort!

Dammit, too many players and coaches are retiring! Well at least Effort won a Starleague by beating Flash.

I can't help but feel that StarCraft II has somehow quickened the death of Brood War. Who knows, maybe BW and KeSPA will fight on for another season or even more, but the death will be as inevitable as the fading of Hula-hoops and who knows what will happen.
