Effort is probably the 2nd best Zerg right now, this is a huge deal. Sad to see he won't be playing SC2 competitively.

Wait do you mean over Harvest Moon time the time or the game lol. Either way surprising to see his retirement, but not surprising that some BW gamers even good ones aren't moving to SC2 instead choosing something else.

Another blow to BW, retiring so early. Good luck in whatever you persue Effort.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

The others were past their primes or B-teamers to begin with.

This one hurts. :[

That is a very sad news for BW community. One of the best Zergs retiring during his prime really hurts the scene.

At least it is good that he didn't say he goes to SC2...

So sad. This post-season is filled with sad news all the time. Nada and July to SC2; estro disbanding, coaches leaving left and right and now Effort...

This season needs to start asap.
It'll show everyone in korea as well as for us foreigners that BW is alive and well. And hopefully it'll bring lots of new faces to replace all those who leave ...
I believe~

Farewell Effort. It has been a pleasure watching your games.

Harvest Moon the Korean/Chinese festival. It's called Choo Seok but I think Harvest Moon is the official translation?

correct me if i'm wrong though

Wow this is pretty shocking. You have to wonder if Coach Cho would have been able to keep him around.

pretty sure "path unrelated to gaming as his goal" means no sc2

i wish effort the best.

i hope he does well in his studies =)

....................

Well, there goes my favorite active player from BW.

He had a lot of potential too. Hopefully he will change his mind and end up back in BW or at least in SC2. But I guess, he ultimately knows what is best for his life. So, GL Effort, I will miss you.
