That's actually a pretty good decision, it's not like he was ever gonna be making like 100-200K+ salary. So just going back to studies or moving on to SC2 should work out fine.

what the bw scene should be scared of is the top a class/s class now going "well, bw is almost dead, i haven't done anything in my life other then game. off to studies i go!". if that happens then bw is dead.

it's a dominoes effect

Effort is an OSL winner, he will always be remembered by me. Thanks for wearing the CJ jersey and making us all proud!
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

Sad news. Leaving while he's still a contender.


Good for him though for pursuing the things that might make him happier.

Effort was one of the few BW players I followed (yea yea....SC2 player..=P ) and I'm sad to see him go. However, I really respect his decision and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Are you serious? By my count, only 20 people have EVER won an OSL. Imagine what players like Sea would give for one.

Sad, but i understand the decision. He certainly accomplished more in his BW career than most players, and wants to do something else now. That's fair, though it's certainly sad for CJ.

On the plus side, now we have another team joining the upcoming "who get's Action" brawl, which should be fun.
I cheer for underdogs and Flash

Ugh, I just realized, CJ with no Effort, Savior and Cho will be really sad. They are still my favorite team but a piece of the CJ heart is missing.

This is such sad news He was definitely the 2nd best zerg on the scene, and still at his prime.

You can't really say that when most progamers have only dreamt of even getting into the finals of a starleague.
