Was there no way for Yellow to become a coach? He seemed to be a really skilled player, and I'm sure that holding a coaching position would not require too much playing responsibility.

Anyways, best of luck to wherever the goes, whether it's poker, SC2, or maybe even a normal career. He has done all that he can as a player. I only wish he played more shortly before retirement.

It's better to have tried and gotten second than to have not tried at all.

Goodbye Storm Zerg.
No one ever remembers second place, eh? eh? GIVE ME COMMAND

Nobody could match YellOw's passion for this game. Even though he's going out with dignity, it's still hella sad.

You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten, Hong Jin Ho.

Best of luck to you in all of your future actions. Enjoy the rest of your life as much as I enjoyed watching you play over the years!

Read my question.


I think you know very well what I mean...

also the fact that someone doesn't actually know "sc2 history" is amusing

I guess there are people even newer than GSL1... holy crap, I'm getting old.

That was quite sad to read his statement, and how he was apologetic. What a legend. Good luck YellOw with future endeavors.

Nooooooooo....

Look on the bright side, he beat Boxer to retirement :p

I wonder if he'll pop into SCII, would be neat to have another zerg legend over there.

gg Yellow! You rule!

Happy for Yellow, but definitely not SAD:
+ Show Spoiler +
I know progamers make decent $, have huge fanbases, and are the rockstar's of Korea, but playing working full time at a video game after age 30 would seem a bit mundane for someone who has done this nonstop for 12+ years. That just seems a little old (never mind the motor skill deterioration) to be dedicating the time needed to be a "video game professional" don't you think?

maybe I just never understood the concept of dedicating so much time to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I think the progamers of BWar while have been blessed with incredible skill and talent, have missed out on a lot of little things due to the sacrifices being a progamer entails. I'm sure it is as much as a relief to Yellow as it is sad to move on. He'll be a legend for the rest of his life tho that's for sure. That is the spoils of his sacrifices. Something that can never be taken away.

Not that I've seen a lot from Yellow recently, but somehow this announcement is still really touching :/

Goody bye!
