Coach/Manager (Z)KIMDONGWOO's interview added. Highly encouraged to read if you want to know when EffOrt will start being sent out in matches again, and also answers a few more questions about EffOrt's current state.

He can't participate in proleague this season, but he's going to be one heck of a practice partner. That alone makes Hite so much better.

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH EFFORT!!! WELCOME BACK!!!

The Messiah, The Hawkeye, The God-Young-Ho Kryptonite is back.
I don't normally swear, but hell it's about fucking time.

Edit: Cool that his team has already been changed to display HITE ENTUS, but just asking, will he have to start working his ELO up from 2000 again?

Reading from the coach interview, Effort evidently had difficulty catching up with studying and apply to university. No surprise really.

Once you reach the height of progaming through reversing the tsunami that is Flash and snatching the golden trophy from the jaws of the monster, it becomes difficult to surpass the peak and maintain the standard your fans expect. There is a reason why many authors refuse to write again after creating the pinnacle of their work or decline after reaching the pinnacle. The pressure is immense and the result is sometimes unrewarding.

However, no matter what, Effort was SOMEBODY in progaming. He had fans, he had a huge contract, he had recognition, and he woke up everyday knowing he was an important person.

Yet, after returning to a normal life, going to school and studying for university, he was a nobody. Rather than on the top, he was lagging behind even the worst of students due to the years he sacrificed for progaming.

Indeed, there can be no comparison between the two lives. Sad as it may be, after you enter progaming, there is no going back. In case of Effort, at least he still had options and the freedom of choice. In case of many other retired progamers who completed lost their passion, sacrificed as much time as the top players, and yet accomplished nothing, their entire lives may indeed be permanently altered in a negative direction.

well he's got like 130 days to practice without any pressure of any leagues, so ;p


After so much training, I expect him to walk the "Royal Road"

EffOrt!!! Too bad that he's late for the Zerg MSL. Effort vs Hydra might've been epic! I expect him to be in an individual league finals next year

Hite entus = 2 CJ zerg generations + other CJ players + Hite players = I expect epic rounds 5 and 6. Both Hite and KT looking good right now so matches between those 2 might be the most awaited matches of the next rounds .
