Scared me. I thought it was Bisu.
Damn you mods
I want to go back to being weird. I like being weird. Weird is all I've got. That and my sweet style.

A very touching moment, I feel closer to Xellos than to any other progamer since the WCG 2005 documentary.

When I saw the title I thought of Reach...you scared me sir!

But it's still very sad that xellOs is leaving the scene...

Funny, I played against a Korean on the NA server with the ID xellOs and he's nearly undefeated but I asked him if he was a progamer and he said no, but maybe it was him?
In training...let's play, gg! d^..^b

No, because Zergs would have been getting shit on for the past ~6 years. The scandal was bad but it doesn't erase his indisputable contribution to the evolution of the Zerg metagame. Fuck outta here.

Sad to see XellOs go Wasn't it him that singlehandedly kept CJ alive with his winnings money?

Who changed the thread title? In any case, for fun, I just asked a couple of my super kpop fan friends for their opinion (since they know all about this korean stuff and korean looks), and they say Xellos isn't too great looking... But Bisu? Yeah.

I call BS on this story. The amount of blasphemy in this thread by Bisu fans is disgusting.

Xellos is S class in looks. Someone find that thread.

name change made me think Ruby retired... but he did that already, didn't he

He's not retired, but no team wants him. Poor guy, he went to the military way too early which hurt his growth. He's still pretty young by progamer standards.


ruby actually got offered by a team during the draft but he declined because the salary was too low for him


shoot nooooo

wasn't he the oldest progamer still active? Or is that Reach?

gl Xellos

Reach is older.


Was it disclosed what kind of position is he taking?

He will be working in the Sports Marketing Department of CJ Group, which includes the administration of the CJ Entus progaming team, as well as other sports that CJ is investing in, such as golf and motor sports.


This honestly seems like a (generally speaking) superior career choice in the long run compared to BW coaching, if he and the company can make it work.
