Was money the main reason Effort left in the first place? Did he ask for a pay rise after beating Flash? Anyone know?

I don't know what to make of this.
Effort was one of my favorite players, but I don't know if he can come back, after almost one year.

Is there any other progamer who was a long time off and came back successful?

Pretty sure that is the reason. It's pretty obvious, I think. His team was in transition, and he wanted a raise after beating Flash. Hite didn't agree, so Effort left...

Now that Hite is not doing so well, they want Effort back...

Source?
And, I'm glad that Effort's coming back. OSL final between himself and Flash was one of the first finals I saw. I hope he returns to and peaks his old form

when effort played he was the same like flash/jaedong/bisu stork. This guy is a freaking beast.
Besides alot of sick plays by him i will also never forget his epic comeback in the osl. This guy has everything to get another gold.

lol there is no source on that guys that is just speculation.

I think Effort doesn't like university and wants to get back to gaming.

He was the 3rd best player in the world for quite a while while bisu/stork were slumping.

The article tells me that the negotiation really didn't go very smooth.

Effort said: "I wanted to continue playing and enjoying the games with the fans, but during the salary negotiation process, CJ made me turn away from the team to the point, that made me think 'Why did I even bother to play hard for so long for this team?'."

There's 2 sides to this coin.

After his OSL win Effort felt entitled to a big salary bump (though we don't know the details), CJ didn't meet his number, he decided to call it good and focus on school. Maybe his entrence exams didn't go well? maybe he just regretted his decision? maybe he realized he wasn't in the mindset for school and wanted to restart negotiations?

Anyway, Hite isn't doing too badly, Hydra has more or less replaced Effort's position (and took an MSL as well). Movie is bouncing back finally, Horang2 is winning some non-vP games now, Snow is still solid and Leta/Skyhigh have their ups and downs. I don't think CJ (Hite) came begging to Effort with the salary demands he had before he left, I think at the very least it was mutual and they met somewhere down the middle.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.
