Is he still on Hyungjoon? Last I checked he had a pretty big role there. Wasn't around during his prime, but the fact that his name is well known to me is a testament to his legacy in the BW scene. But since he is apparently looking into an e-sports related career? Hope he tries SC3 when Boxer transitions to it. ^^ | ||

Back to the topic: I'm kinda new to the scene, when I started watching, Yellow was in ACE, but he still did quite a good job at ACE, I don't wonder his peak, for my sanity. Good bye, silver king Hong Jin Ho, we'll miss you. + Show Spoiler [off topic] + On June 16 2011 03:07 Weavel wrote: Or creating the greatest sc2 team ever... edit: But let's not derail this thread. It's indeed sad to see Yellow retire. I for one was hoping to see him play for at least once(like reach did). SlayerS is the greatest team? The team that has "one man team" phenomenon this badly? Rofl. He created the worst possible team with that amount of sponsorship money. | ||

Edit: I don't quite understand the sentiment when people say it's 'sad' that he's leaving. I'd say the feeling is more like bittersweet, akin to your college graduation. You will miss all the great times, but you now have another path in life you need to walk, one which is also going to be filled with it's own challenges and rewards. It would be FAR more sad if he stayed on KT as a bench warmer for another 5 years. At this point, sure. But sometime in the future? People change their minds. Boxer might try to convince him. Nestea might try to recruit him. Who knows? Guemchi changed his mind and went back to BW. Effort came out of retirement after some time alone. Yellow can say all he likes but the gaming blood is really strong in him  | ||

Nothing hurts more than seeing alltime greats taking place on the bench or playing and looking like they don't belong on the field. His legacy is too big for that. Very good point. You should always leave them wanting more. | ||

He has to stay involved in E-sports someway or another, whether it's SC2 or coaching or whatever, or I'll be very sad. | ||

Some go gently into that good night and become the quiet but hardworking coach, or they get caught up in a match fixing scandal and retire to go fight dragons on various treacherous mountain tops..... | ||

They are doing too little considering how much Slayers is paid. That amount under one of either oGs' or MvP's hands and we'd actually have a great team. Anyway, I'm suggesting not to derail this thread even further with a discussion about sc2 teams. | ||
