He might be able to make some serious cash as a full time coach in a SC2 foreign team house or something and bring up them to great heights. Look at what Boxer (and many others) have accomplished with SlayerS

KONG4EVER!

I would like to state for the record Boxer called him out to play SC2 during one of his TSL interviews time will tell whether he will accept the challenge or not.

Because I still prefer a life of seeking challenges instead of shelter
I want to start trying new challenges, under the name of a new beginning.

My immature 20's, where everything was defined by gaming
Because of you were with me, it shined brightly, and I will never forget.


sounds like he's slightly ashamed of his time in esports, almost as if he's taken stock and decided he's not happy with what he has going forward.

bit of a shame, but presuming this is true (which it may not be) i can imagine yellow won't be the only one to leave with this sort of sentiment .. :<

wonder when esports will grow to the point where organisations can start putting programs in place to help retired progamers transition into other careers.

You never know, he might go out of retirement to start playing SC2.

Boxer vs Yellow finals in SC2 would be sick


Sadly, there's no way Boxer is ever getting to a finals.

The "I want to try new challenges, a new beginning" could be read as a new game, but most likely he's out of progaming forever. Perhaps he'll become a coach. I think that's more likely.

This made me so sad. Such a great player reitring.

Any chance to see him as a coach? or maybe even a commentator? i don't want to see Yellow go so soon. I'll be blue without him playing. Maybe its just he is a little red in the face from all the fans, and will stay.

Well maybe he is going to greener pastures.

I didn't get into pro BW until after his era, but I still always rooted for Yellow whenever I had the chance. One of the most likable guys and likable stories. He'll be missed!

He really is a man dedicated to what he loved... it will be sad to seem him leave. I am sure though, that with his dedication, he will be successful in his future occupation. I wish him luck and appreciate the fact that he didn't move onto SC2 like some less dedicated players.

I hope Yellow achieves greatness in whatever road he chooses to take, the dedication he put into BW is a sign of great perseverance. What he learned as a person as he matured on the scene will help him greatly in succeeding in the future. Some people might not believe this but succeeding in Pro-Gaming is tougher than in more wealthier careers.

Yellow, god bless!

An era ends indeed...so sad Yellow was my favorite pro. I always thought him and Reach would retire at the same time for some reason,they always go together in their careers like a package.
Anyways I hope he doesnt switch to sc2 because I wanna remember him as a bw legend. sadly I feel bw wont last long either,I think the sc2 expansion will be the end of it.
Best of luck Yellow.

So this is the way the Storm ends.

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

=(

Farewell, Storm Zerg.

Yay another great moment to say that BW is dead! Right when it loses one of its most loved players!
