Yes, Flash is the best terran but there are so many other good TvZ players he has to get through before he might even have a shot of winning the finals. We're talking about Leta, Light, and Sea. He did eliminate Midas from MSL and then Forgg in the WCG. | ||

Lookin at half the comments here I think did you even READ the news story? Half the people say it was because he was underpayed and the other half are saying its because he wants to go to SC2 it is neither of those people read the god damn articles. | ||

Did you just look at page 1~2 and jump in here without thinking about reasoning at all? Although considering the reputation of SC2 board I guess some people are justified in believing the terrible quality of posters. | ||

ZvT is his weakest matchup and with so many good TvZ players still around there is no point for him to stay and achieve nothing. No zerg is better than him but that's completely irrelevant when the last three three Starleagues have been dominated by the best zerg and the best terran. | ||

I am so sad... my favourite player gone. It's like CJ got gutted in the span of half a year, savior, effort, iris, kwanro, cho. Man fuck this is depressing news. I don't really blame him too much... sounds like he got a bit lowballed (weird, seeing as how CJ should have more salary now that iris and savior are gone), but winning a SL, and being at an age where going to school is still "normal" is a really good reason. Sad to see him go, but I respect his decision. Hope CJ can pick up action or something to bolster their zerg line now. Or mind to replace Iris? | ||

He isn't Flash or Jaedong, but Effort was still doing pretty damn good and though it is debatable I think he could be considered at the top of his game which is what the original poster to this quote train said. That's exactly my point. ZvT is his weakest matchup and with so many good TvZ players still around there is no point for him to stay and achieve nothing.

Effort may not be in the hotstreak of the 08-09 season, or even of half a year prior, but he's still in a dominate position in the BW scene. And it realllly sucks to see him leave. Did the article mention anything about his retirement being linked to the retirement of coach Cho? Was it purely salary negotiations, did Effort consider going Free agent? (Also, I wouldn't fully count Woo out of SC2 scene - he may just pop up a couple years from now. Or at least I can hope.) | ||
