This is crazy. Effort is amazing. But i feel good for him. He wants to choose this path, and I respect that. The reality is, pro gamers dont get a HUGE wage, and they can only really do it for 3-6 years. While if he get's a proper job, he can work for a long time. Also, he will always be remembered since he won a starleague.

This is from sometime in May 2010, I think. Effort wasn't in it because he was sick, or practicing. I guess now we know the real reason, and CJ probably have known for a while. First Kwanro, then Much, Savior, Iris and now Effort. We're running out of heros dammit. Both Reach & Yellow are returning to KT, and SKT has Boxer and oov. Time for the B-teamers to shine so that CJ is nice and winning the SPL right about when Iris and Much return. Maybe recruit Action now that eSTRO has disbanded?

Hi. I'm a huge lurker here at TL, I made this account over 2 years ago, and I haven't posted in god knows how long.

But I just had to sign in to say:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Effort has become my 2nd favorite zerg (only behind July) and this is devastating to me. I vividly remember the first proleague matches I ever saw him play- his style was so explosive and exciting he immediately became a favorite of mine. I was so happy when he won a Starleague (against Flash no less!) and I was hoping he'd go farther still.

At the same time though, I immensely respect his decision. He had a goal, he attained it, now he's shooting for another goal. Most of the time, if someone hits the kind of success he did, they're going to hold on to that as tight as they can for as long as they can. For him to be able to leave all that behind to pursue his next challenge? That is IMO just an extremely admirable quality.

He's so young, he's got a long life ahead of him. We can only hope he finds his way back into gaming, whether it be BW or SC2.

FFFFFFFFFFFF.

Why all this bad news?! The only thing that could make my E-Sports feelings worse is if Shuttle retires!!

Good luck to Effort though, well done on not letting them screw your pay.

Brood War is going to become so damn boring if every final from now on is Flash vs Jaedong, or (if they're on the same side of the bracket), 'Flash or Jaedong vs Sacrificial Offering'.

We need a Protoss star to rise and challenge them both.
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

They need to have a team with Bisu and Stork on the same team with JangBi and Best, I think that would create the best Protoss players.

Nope, he said it's not game related.

I do wonder what he plans to do though. Would be disappointing if it's only to study.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Good for Effort to leave the sinking ship that is BW now rather than next season. He succeeded at one of the most challenging video games ever released and left before he became another washed up player that just hangs around cause he can't really do anything else well.
There's no S in KT. :P
