What a heartbreaking interview. Good luck to Hiya in his future endeavors, whether they revolve around pro-gaming or not. I hope he can enjoy the time with his family. Thank you for translating.

I think Hiya doesn't care about e-sport anymore. The key part is about him getting obliterated by ForGG and decided to screw it. It's obvious that he figured he'd switch if all the SC2 players suck. But since he can't exactly dominate the scene, he figured it's not worth the hassle.

Here's hoping he live a good life. I'm sad that he made FBH cry, but overall he was an entertaining progamer.

Seems like a great dude, shame about his father passing in those circumstances, i always fear the same with my father.
I had actually been watching him play a little bit recently and if i see his stream i will be sure to watch him in the future!

Would he get more viewers if he streamed on TL? I mean, if all his Afreeca fans knew about it, he could add the foreign scene to those numbers. 1000 seems kind of low for big shot BW pro.

I am not the most aware of BW gaming, so it was a really interesting read. His father's situation sounds absolutely devastating, so I hope only the best for him.

it's really sad to see him go. I was holding out that hopefully some team would pick him up, but unfortunately that is not happening. goodbye hiya, thanks for everything.

I wish him the best into his endeavors into others area of his life, that once was dominated by starcraft. Also I'm glad that his experiences as a progamer is remembered upon fondly, instead of something that diverted his time from things important in his life.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Anyone else think this is rather fu--ed up on Oz's side ?
The guy hasnt seen his fathers for years and years and they wont give him a week off so the family can meet together ?
I cannot be sad of Oz anymore. Not after this.

The Korean article actually says:
"When I was little, he worked in Japan to earn a living for our family. I never saw him from the elementary school to middle school. by the time he came back, I started living a dorm life to become a progamer and I rarely saw him/met him"

yea it was a colloquial 'I never see my father' rather than a literal 'I've never seen my father'... might go back and change it if more people get confused xD

Damn, I love Hiya, this was a really sad interview to read. Thanks for the translation. Hopefully he'll change his mind. It would be so weird for Hiya to disappear from progaming so suddenly.

I finally got a chance to read the entire thing and ugh. It pains me to see HiyA go through such hard times. I'm sure things will get better soon. Really enjoy watching the re-stream Kiante provides us with. ^-^

BW the never-ending drama.
