It seems so unfitting for stars of this caliber to exit so quietly. So bittersweet. Thank you very much for translating. I will always remember Midas's for creating FD Terran and his game vs Draco at WCG, and Anytime's tag-team proleague dominance with Jeadong during his later golden years. It's such a shame how time never waits for anyone.

Wow I was so excited and hyped waiting for the first pro league game to start and didn't know what to do with the extra hour I have left so I read the Anytime interview. Now I almost want to cry.

The pictures seem so emotive. He really wasn't ready to retire, he did so much for OZ was a real rock for everyone behind the scenes you can just tell. He was no longer completive enough to compete in live games for OZ but I think he was so important for the team outside of the games and especially for the young Protoss players making their way up. OZ came to a rather abrupt and sad end and so did his carrier as there was a place there for him supporting the players of that team for at least another couple of years if OZ where still around and that is clearly where he wanted to be.

It sounds like he's saved a bit of money and doesn't have any finical problems but he just wasn't ready to move on and doesn't know what's next. I hope he finds something he can enjoy and I hope other players stay in contact with him and support him. Anytime will be sorely missed.

T_T I couldn't help but feel really sad reading Anytime's interview, his retirement doesn't feel natural at all.
I'm don't have many regrets regarding my playing career, but I thought I built up quite a name for myself during the long years and it disappoints me now that all that was for nothing

This gave me a heavy feeling in my heart, it wasn't all for nothing Anytime T_T

His wise words should be heard by all people and not just progamers. I hope he's successful in whatever he chooses to pursue and I hope we see him maybe in studio watching PL at some point (shame he couldn't be a coach). I will miss you Anytime, and I hope you can sleep well soon.

I wish a lot of these progamers retiring could have went out with a bang instead of this whimper...

Thanks OpticalShot for the translations. Can't wait to read the full Midas interivew
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

I thought I was freezing, then I realized it was only the nerd chills on my back.
Goodbye Midas! I will never forget your game vs Savior on Hitchhiker. You were deep down my favorite!

And Anytime, such a gentleman, such a legend!
After reading interviews on how hard these guys work, and how they support their familys, I really respect them so much more.

Good luck ~~

Anytime the first progame I ever saw was you wiping the floor with Stork in the proleague finals. So in a sense I have all of this thanks to you. Sigh.

Thanks Optical.

Anytime was always my 2nd favorite Toss. So badass. I remember his interview in ACE when he talked about how the younger Protoss players in Lecaf didn't listen to his advice. Man... sad retirement. He should come back and coach the SKT Protoss line

how dare you forget Reach!

and of course THE ROCK

Xellos is from way back then as well, he's still active iirc


i thought xellos retired? i know he got married recently but maybe im thinking of something else.

Thank you for all those great years Anytime. It was a pleasure to watch you lead a newly formed team to championship.

Of the old legends, only reach and xellos remains. =/ The next "old legend" would be stork. Such a huge gap between them. Feels empty.

Spam with as many threads/interviews as you want. I can't get enough of them

I'll just smile for the last picture. Thank you for everything


Aww Anytime. Surprised there's no coaching spots for him. Such a great toss. I guess there's limited places now though with so many teams disbanding.

Tempest had a really positive attitude which was nice.

The links to these interviews don't work anymore. Are they gone forever or have they just been moved?
