Why nobody can read article.

On topic: I'm bit surprised by this. He was doing great in bw


Don't jump to conclusions. When Jumperer posted Miklis was still translating the article and all we knew was a title that says "Effort announces retirement". It was a natural question to ask given recent decisions by Nada and July.

Cut him some slack, at the time he posted that the translation wasn't up.

10 bucks says he enters into a GSL for sc2 in the next 6 months


Hah! Same here. These guys are INSANELY competitive and the will and drive to play at such a high level never goes away. I honestly believe Effort(right now) in saying he wants to study or have time off but, that itch of competition will get him in the near future and SC2 will be there waiting for him. GL to him.

I think the loss of Savior and Cho are the main reasons for this.
I hope CJ can recover from this. Snow is showing potential as an ace, let's see him realize it.
Maybe that's why he played in ace for the last game in PO finals against SKT.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

This is just ridiculous... How could someone who is retiring now have had the drive to make it this far....

Hm maybe in like a few years Effort will be a business millionaire, maybe he's just one of those super geniuses.

But this is horrible for cj... I'm shocked...

WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK!!! Nonononono........omg I can't take anymore man I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE.

Feels like......so shit and stuff. God CJ no =( CJ is just a bunch of scrubs now because Skyhigh and Movie have been sucking it up.........at least there's Snow......? Goddamn I'm sorry but fuck SC2 for indirectly killing off BW. I know he's not retiring for SC2, but still so many leaving in such a short period of time.

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.

Don't forget that CJ also lost Iris (and Much) to Ace.

Effort is gone. That's really surprising.
This will also definitely hurt CJ too (but's that's being obvious.)

PL's going to be missing a strong player now. Oh BW. :S

Don't remind me lol



Skyhigh/Movie/Snow are still baller, I have faith in them. CJ just needs a new Zerg to step up. I'm not too sure about Hydra.

Progamer on top of his game retiring Wow this is mega huge.


You could argue he wasn't ontop of his game. Sure he beat Flash in a finals series but he has playing nowhere near the level he was in 08-09 proleague.

If he wasn't, he sure was close. You usually don't win starleagues when you're not at the top.

Read the whole thread if you are going to attack someone.

On the other note, I am sad/happy about this news I mean people always brought up the notion that player should leave in a positive note - Boxer was the popular target in that note - and I like the fact that he is pursuing other career choices, but Effort was THE favourite player I followed =/

Can anyone make an Effort tribute video marking his retirement?
