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.

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


O_O

What?

I wish him all the best.
But I hope he doesn't sever ties with BW altogether. Maybe coaching, commentating or hosting TV shows.

Yellow. I guess it was his time to retire, it's sort of like a melancholic happiness for me. I first rooted for him as a counterpoint to my stepdad's boxer worship, and he was a big reason I cheered for ace when I got back into the scene. Good luck and Godspeed, Hong Jin Ho.

That is pretty sad to hear that he is quitting all around. He could do really well in SC2, best of luck to him.

The guy has been around forever. And not only that - he has actually been around forever. Seems like a good time to stop if he wanna try something else.
Still sad though, he is such a phenomenon.

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.



Are you calling Boxer less dedicated than Yellow? I don't think moving to SC2 will make him any less dedicated to esport. If he couldn't entertain his fans in SCBW and still wants to be a progamer than why not move to sc2. I actually do hope he moves to SC2, really want to see storm zerg still stay in esport.

Although I got in to Brood War way after Yellow's prime it's sad to see a legend go. He'll always be Kong-dancing the second place spot in my heart.

Wow. What bad news to wake up to... I suppose it had to happen sometime but E-sports will never be the same without him.

Horrible news. First Boxer, Savior, Nal_ra, and Nada leave and now Yellow. Reach is the only prominent player left from early BW. Then again, they have other goals in their lives. Yellow has done great work to keep the BW-scene alive, especially during his time in Air Force Ace. How great it was to watch him beat Bisu and go Hive-tech vs. Jaedong AND WIN! Best of luck in the future.


what about that game against horang2?

He's been around for ten years and still had skills enough to beat both Jaedong and Bisu - two of the best BW gamers ever. Not to mention beating them in their greatest match-up (ZvZ and PvZ). That's an accomplishment that is hard to grasp. Horang2 is showing great form right now (#4 ELO rank) - but he's not as good, or legendary, as Jaedong or Bisu.
