Then, to add insult to injury, my father passed away last month, weighing even more heavily on my heart.


I don't know a lick of Korean, but this can't be what he said. I think you were looking for a different expression there.

Thanks for the interview!

you're right, I've edited it.. I was looking for an English proverb that means one tragic event after another, but couldn't find it hehe

Ah, cool, cool. Translating is such an art. Not that I would know, though, 'cuz I only know one language! Hah.

I personally think, that he made good decision. BW progaming and winning is about having a proper mindset and don't worry about anything else. I think he realizes, that keeping game-oriented mindset is most likely impossible after draft failure and father loss. As he had found that an important "family" part of his life is missed, he would rather have prioritized it over gaming and other less relevant stuff. Now he is streaming for fun and reassurance. He will still give us - fans - a lot of joy, we only have to follow different broadcasting source.

This interview brings interesting question though. Progamers are professional competitors of e-sports just like basketball players, footballers or athletes are for casual sports. Retiring sportsman (at perhaps age 33+ depending on the discipline, and perhaps financially established), can move to business or become a coach unless discipline ceases to exist. What in the case of progamer retiring at the age of 23 (probably did not manage to earn enough), with little or no progaming training exist, and shrinking (or collapsing as you will) Brood War scene? How will he earn his living? He admitted that Starcraft is the only thing he knows.

Perhaps it's the time to grow progaming scene towards courses, training classes, paid lectures, e-gaming clubs ans so on. Then participants would then be able to support (retired) progamers financially (with much more $, than revenues from streaming), and encourage field developement and attention from sponsors.

I don't wanna be "that guy" but he says money isn't important for him to continue, yet it seems he wanted a high salary which is why no one picked him up?

I thought that it meant that his current salary was too high for most other teams. Besides, he might've been alright but he probably felt that he wasn't worth it as a player after he got rejected.
