Wait, but liquibet clearly shows a match going on for forGG. Does that mean that that match will continue or be ceased? :/ bye forGG.....


considering he's already forfeited his license suggests he wont be playing those games.

Well good luck to him. He achieved more than vast majority of progamers in his career. So it's not like he wasted his youth.

Pretty sudden. But figures he got real life issues going on. The unexpected part is that ForGG is still very active in the proleague, despite losing pretty much all games.

It's kinda idiotic for him to go SC2. Surely his contract with KT is substantial and sudden switch to SC2 means he will be lagging behind all currently active SC2 player. There is a learning curve involved here. ForGG isn't Flash.

Flash out of the MSL? ForGG in the MSL? Both on KT?

KT would have had to give him one hell of a golden handshake for him to retire just like that.

Timing attack retirement ? I'm really surprised, even if he was not performing very well recently, he still was an important asset for team, and was sure a part of KT's success in PL last season. He went 10-10 with decisive wins against Shine, JD, Jangbi and Really.

Good luck !

Translation.

EDIT: Made some minor changes. Sorry Mortician, I did this rather quickly due to the urgency of the news.

KT's ForGG has suddenly announced his retirement.

[image loading]


On the 28th, KT announced that ForGG had retired due to personal reasons.

ForGG debuted in 2005 for Hwaseung and won the Arena MSL in 2008. He also did very well in Proleague. On March 13, 2009, he changed teams to KT, making a great contribution to KT taking home the 09-10 Proleague crown.

However, ForGG's been in a slump and his results have been disastrous. So due to personal issues, he was forced to retire. KT accepted his request.

Under KeSPA regulations, if a player who retires before his contract is up wishes to come out of retirement, he must announce that to KeSPA through his former team after a year. On top of that, he must go through some special KeSPA arranged matches for coming out of retirement.

ForGG has retired before the end of his contract. He had even played during R2 for KT and made it into the MSL Ro32. ForGG's reason for retirement is unclear, but it has caused a crisis in the MSL.

ForGG was slated to play his MSL Ro32 games on the 30th, but due to his retirement, the state of MSL Group F is a hot topic for netizen debate.

MBC's administration has announced that they also just received word of ForGG's retirement, and do not as of yet have a plan for resolving the Group F dilemma.

A MBC representative stated that they would put full effort into quickly resolving Group F, and that they would make an announcement when they came to a decision.

This is pretty sad. Really like forgg and hoped he would become really strong again (kt needs him atm).

KT fans in korean forums are so happy that there may be a chance for flash to come back to MSL through wild card system to replace forgg lol although i doubt they will do wildcard to replace him

he was good during his MSL title win league but after it he was rubbish player.


Never even considered this, but it would be pretty cool if Flash manages to win MSL after being eliminated. Now I'm only slightly sad because there is a chance that flash will get a chance to qualify for a chance in the msl.

Probably tired of being overshadowed by Flash and KT being a one-man team. And SC2.

I just hope they wont give Flash oppoturnity to compete spot for RO16. Kinda like all RO32 group 3rd and 4th competing for one RO16 spot.

Perhaps if 3rd places only then it would be okay.

Expect a wildcard for his spot?
Bisu can come back to MSL =D

Okay but srsly, sad to see him go on such short notice. I still remember some of his terrific timing attacks like they were yesterday. Thanks for the run you've put on for us ForGG and we hope you have a great future!
