It's a bit sad but he can't be playing forever.

Wishing him good luck in the future.

Xellos forever, you will be misseed!
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

Give it 6 months, he'll probably go the fOrGG route, come out of retirement to play Starcraft II, join oGs and hit Code S in the GSL within one stint.

No, remember, fOrGG was at his prime when retiring, and is like 20-21 now, While XellOs was past his prime at is like 28.

Damn, I still vividly remember when XellOs was like this new kid on the block.

Those were the days when BoxeR single-handedly lead the TvZ metagame with his 1base play.
Around that time another name came up... a guy called NaDa who was like the complete terran.

But this new kid XellOs was rumored to be the perfect terran. His defensive abilites were criticized as his only imperfect trait. His offensive was seen as the best ever. Something only NaDa could keep up with.

Thanks XellOs for a great era of sc/bw!!

Thanks for that video. I had heard of it but never seen it as I am fairly new to the SC scene. Will be good for explaining this phenomenon to those who don't understand it. Good luck XellOs- just as you said - after this you will be a success at anything you try.

xellOs has been one of my absolute favorites ever since I found my way into the Starcraft competitive scene as a fan.
Learning that he is retiring is both very sad, and also satisfying - he'll now have the time and effort in whatever future endeavours he has going with CJ. So long XellOs, thank you for the amazing moments of Starcraft you shared with every one of us. GG

Ya well, at least I don't fuck a fleshlight with a condom on and cry at the same time.

No. ForGG was at his prime in 2008. He was about to fall to B Team when he retired from BW.
