ktf_Autumn retires.. Any feelings about this?
Here are some quick questions to Autumn:


Q.How long have you been thinking about retiring?
A. Well, I have been thinking about it for a while. It was disappointing that I couldn't win tournaments. I am sorry for my coach and fans, I wanted to earn them a title before retiring.

Q. Plans after retiring?
A. I have nothing planned yet.

Q. Will you ever come back?
A. I don't know yet, but I don't think i will for now.

I'll remember him as one of the best 2v2 players I've ever watched. His PvZ was very very good as well, but his inconsistence in other matchups didn't allow him to compete in big leagues. =/

I think he was really starting to make a name for himself , as he had showed some awesome gameplay as of late. I really thought he had it won against Iris and he would at least making to dual, and maybe even Starleague if he was lucky. At the rate he was going at, he was bound to do something worthwhile. But I guess you can't expect people to do this forever. Not every progamer earns huge salaries like Nada or Boxer. It would be wise for him to pursue other things.

Hopefully, he may show up in the future to play another game or two.
Nothing witty here atm

i bet a million won that boxer will retire before yellow reach or ra does because boxer was like the unbeatable and they wont leave until they leave an impression that they are better than him.

It sucks but I have to say that like every time I saw him play it was during a hard loss. My image of him was always that he wasn't that great. Oh well. It is true he has been around a verrrrry long time, if I had spent that much time and not been able to do anything good I probably would have retired too.

He's too old. I think he is the older progamer right now being born 1979. He and Intotherain were the oldest player but Intotherain retired and became OGN announcer.

Actually Autumn feels really sorry for KTF coach because he lost the last game.

He said he'll be out for Team/Proleagues if possible, so it's not his last game. So let's stay up and wait.

Btw, people retire all the time.. And hordes of new ones come in.

Seriously, just check at the PGR21 rankings and you'll see soooo many people who've retired but new people keep on coming o_O
