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.
Except that BW isn't decreasing, the verdict is still out on the long term success of SC2 and military service awaits every Korean male, whether you play BW or SC2.

excuse my ignorance, but even though chuseok is over, i haven't seen any press releases relating to effort.
|
It's not out of possibility that Effort will play sc2 considering that some other guy (MVP, Piano? Can't remember) said they were quitting being a progamer because it was too hard but ended up on one of the new teams.

The manager however said that the new challenge will not be Starcraft 2.

mmmm, i guess i can relate. (not in the pro gaming sense)... but the wanting to do new things and challenge yourself and pursue a different career.
Im a well paid head of art at a marketing company.. and have been for the last 5 years.. although i get paid super good, i really just want to quit and do something new with my life. I even told the directors that i would be quiting next year to travel and then go to back to school to study something new.
what im getting at is.. you need to be happy with your job, if its not making your life enjoyable, change jobs.

actually... fuck effort. first he eliminates bisu (without advancing) from the osl, and then goes on to quits starcraft? not a cool story, bro.
+ Show Spoiler +jk. gonna still miss him

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. For the last time, BW is not dieing Wait wait, You call a lot of players and coaches resigning as BW not dying? 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.
I soooo wanna believe you, but dunno, I too have been following the proscene since the old days dating back to the Grrr dominance days, and although every now and then there was some shocking retirement/s, it never felt like this.

TL;DR of the article is Effort posted stuff on his fancafe: Effort couldn't come to an agreement on salary with the company, and then decided to retire. He also said he wanted to "learn stuff," so I assume it means he's going to focus on his studies/go to school. He says he doesn't want to be a progamer anymore.
|
How much could he have possiby asked for considering they got rid of Savior? Thats a significant amount free'd up. Even at a lower S-level gamer salary he'll earn more than he would possibly earn elsewhere, why give up that chance now of all times. Makes no sense.

The article tells me that the negotiation really didn't go very smooth.
Effort said: "I wanted to continue playing and enjoying the games with the fans, but during the salary negotiation process, CJ made me turn away from the team to the point, that made me think 'Why did I even bother to play hard for so long for this team?'."
|
wow can't believe it was salary problems.
Perhaps they knew of the hite merger and knew the couldn't offer him as much with Leta joining?
|
If that's why Effort left, I'm pretty pissed at CJ for pushing my favourite progamer to retire.
|
I don't think they "pushed" him out. I think, like King K. Rool said, the Hite merger was probably something already being discussed, so not enough funds for salary raise.
