Good thing he's quitting while everyone has a good opinion of him. You know the saying, quit while you're ahead.

Don't be like Tiger Woods.

lol Effort. Retiring on a good note. The only known zerg to kill Godmode flash in the finals.

NOOOOO!! Effort was the second best zerg. Now, it'll just be Jaedong and maybe Action. A big maybe on Action


Action needs at least a year to ferment. This is still pretty shocking.

Not good for the scene, but totally admire his decisiveness. It is a smart decision in the long run. Odd to say, but it's refreshing it wasn't another sc2 jump (not that I have anything against that, just seeing a lot lately).

The hell?

That was my original response. Is there something going on in the background or is just innoculous. (Or is it JD and Flash destroy the will of everyone).

Here's to hoping for a secret SC2 switch.

Although it says in the op that he is not going to switch to SC2, i will not be surprised at all if he starts playing in the near future.

Look at his team. It's pretty much falling apart around him. His 'teacher' Savior pretty much fell from grace, his coach is gone, and his salary is apparently too low. It's perfectly reasonable that he might want to pursue another career option.
Sometimes top players can be grossly underpaid. Leta just got his salary tripled when he threatened to quit.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

And just like that, my one remaining reason for watching BW walks out of the room T_T

Guess I'm gonna just follow my original reason onto SC2, hello July ^_^

GL to Effort in the future, he seems like a very clever kid for getting out when he did, and on such a high note to boot.

Not much to say T.T
Imho the one true S class zerg since JD (i.e. forever). If his play was more consistent he could've.... Sigh, all I can see in my mind now is that fake 2hat lurker all in into no lurker before hive hive mass drones into drops and attacks every..where for instant gg or the gonads of the OSL final. See you later TL, need to drown brain in nicotine...

sad to see pro BW die a slow death by a thousand cuts... this one hurts the most though because Nada and July leaving was two washed up legends going to another game; this is the OSL champion 2 seasons ago quitting altogether. It just highlights that even the best players aren't seeing much of a future even in the short-term.

I gotta say this was completely from left field. A total blindside.

Gl to whatever he does in the future but he was a good player and definitely someone CJ will miss.

Unless you come to SC2. Then I'll be kinda mad that you ditched CJ for SC2.
