We know that Anytime and Midas both decided to retire from the eSports scene.
We didn't fully know the reasons why... until now.
Clearing many speculations and rumours are the following interviews:
Anytime's full retirement interview: Fomos Global
Midas's retirement interview preview: Fomos Global
Tempest's full retirement interview: Fomos Global
I think the full Midas interview will be up shortly, and it'll be another day before my translations are posted on Fomos Global, so I think you can expect it in a couple days.
+ Show Spoiler [Also] +I wasn't really going to translate the Anytime one because it was too long and I was tired after translating the two-part mega interview with Flash, but Milkis told me to translate it because the community deserves to know the truth. This means Milkis still cares for eSports! Yay!!
+ Show Spoiler [Also Also] +Feel free to leave a short reply at the end of the Fomos article, you don't need an actual Fomos account (the ID blank, you just make up whatever temporary name for yourself). For the PASS blank, you put whatever temporary password there in case you want to delete the message yourself. Once you enter whatever comments, you submit with the button on the right that says 확인.
----- RETIREMENT NEWS ENDS HERE -----
COMPLETELY SEPARATE INFORMATION BELOW
I've sent in the translation for interview with one of the former MBC commentators Lee Seung Won (known as the commentator bonjwa), so that one should be available tomorrow. He talks about his thoughts regarding closure of MBCGame, how the situation was handled, the legacy of MSL, his lifestyle and fashion, and future plans as a commentator of OGN (he is going to commentate for OGN, don't worry!!!). Do you guys want to see that one? I don't want to spam too many threads with different translations, so I think I might try to check responses before posting the next one.
Poll: Commentator Lee Seung Won's Interview:Yes, create a new thread for it. (79) 96% No, I don't care about him. (2) 2% Yes, but just PM me a link or something. (1) 1% 82 total votes Your vote: Commentator Lee Seung Won's Interview: (Vote): Yes, create a new thread for it.

Seriously ... Losing Anytime is such a waste, that i feel like e-sports doesn't have a bright future . He should have gotten a dozen offers for e-sport related jobs . I give all my respect to Midas and i hope both of them have a bright future . Also it's really sad how KESPA was forced to retire 27 other progamers who have dedicated a lot to geting there , at this point switching to SC2 isn't even the best option .
|
anytime  , such experienced progamer has to go on brick? Its sad that in Korea its either you get into coaching or to army
|
Baby bear *tear*. I'm happy some teams contacted him so in a way Midas sort of got to retire on his own terms. I didn't realize he had a medical condition, and I hope it doesn't get worse from being in the military. Looking forward to the full interview.

With Anytime and Midas leaving, the older generation is now even more barren. Off the top of my head, only Stork and Iris still plays. Heck, Jaedong is probably an elder statesman these days.

Lee Seung Won's fashion style
I am genuinly interested in that actually O.o.
Just read Anytime's interview, heartbreaking T.T, family man, best of luck to him.

Thanks to OpticalShot the Fomos Global section have been vastly inclined. TLers should check it out more often.

Anytime... no

Sad for Anytime
I always think he underachived in solo leagues, only one OSL and one runner-up. Of course this is way more than most players ever reach, but he got overshadowed by Jaedong. In Proleague he really put up his A-game.
He was my favorite SC-Kor-Protoss ever since I saw him obliterate Yellow with DTs, an will always be. I hope he finds something new to master after his progaming career. Rest is always important, but only to find something new to focus.
All the best to Oh Yeong Jong, you gave me many hours of excitement, although I don't understand a single korean word.
