I wonder if he knows something we don't know, as a scene insider. If there's maybe some writing on the walls that he's reading, and we aren't aware of, he might be being really smart.

The article says hes not gonna be doing eSport stuff so I doubt we will see him on GSL or something.

My guess is hes gonna enroll for military (Shit if he was gonna do this mind as well go ACE and have it easy) then get himself in a university.

Either way, best wishes.

He is looking for something else than Bw and the military, definitely! Otherwise I'm pretty sure he would have mentioned something about that. Whatever he's pursuing to fulfill himself I wish him the best. Another zerg departing to another solar system...

I think effort was smart in this. He knows broodwar is dieing, progamers tend to degrade with age, and he ought to get himself ready for the future with an education.

This is soooooooo sad....
no much.. no savior... no coach cho.. no effort... sooo much change for CJ... they used to have soo strong zerg lineup they even traded kwanro.. but what's left now?... omg.... can't believe Hydra has to carry the cj zergs now..
Going to miss the Effort, Skyhigh, Movie friendship trio too i hope they will be ok without him...
Really hope CJ can pull through this.. i will always root for you!
Best wishes to Effort though, must have been an incredibly hard choice to make, i hope he lives a great life!

화이팅!!

"It ain't over till its over"

Plus, the whole BW is dying discussion in the BW forum is kind of getting annoying. Not directed to you but to those in general.

However, the point that progamers do tend to degrade with age and having another career lined up is understandable. Probably the main reason Effort decided to leave. Figured, "What will I do after this?"

Not when it's the off season... these kinds of changes happen EVERY year. One year we had kingdom, oov, JJu etc all retire which is probably worse than what we've had this season. It just so happens that the release of SC2 and the start of the first few major tournaments coincided with the off season which is making people think that SC id dying - it's not. It'll be back on the 16th.

Really feeling bad for BW and Z, and CJ, however, I truly support his decision and hope he will succeed in new path. Anyway with BW is decreasing, S2 is thriving and military service waiting for every pro gamers, its wise to change.
