Guys, he got married.

Hot wife and stable job > the alternative of switching to SCII.

Then again, you could also look at it like corporate asian wage slave > SCII progamer.

Nice to hear him getting a good job at CJ, he'll always be a legend due to his life story on National Geographic

Will miss you Xellos! I watched your documentary long before I even followed the SC pro-scene so you always held a special spot in my heart. I'll certainly make it my goal to watch more of your games now

There was a thread a while ago about him getting married and that was full of DDR puns.

Perfect Terran becomes the Perfect Salary Man, pretty cool he's working in CJ though.

Good luck and thanks for everything, Xellos.

I remember a game vs Yellow[arnc] on Blue Storm I think? Map with the same tileset, and he went SK Terran and demolished Yellow. Atleast, I think thats how it happened.

Sad to see him go.

I had assumed he retired already when his name wasn't on the CJ Roster list for December. I was hoping he would join the coaching staff. CJ really needs a solid Terran coach.

Damn, Xellos has been around forever. Shame to see him leave. Good luck Xellos.

The 2005 WCG is a bit somber, because it was the last time he had any decent success in BW :/.

why do you guys talk like it's a bad thing for him?

it's a great move for him, he's working under a major corporation in korea and he has like no education what so ever.

this is also a great move for BW in general, the companies hiring the progamers they had employed is a great precedent

I think we think its a bad thing for him because we are slightly selfish and would rather see him play more bw and own some more people in PL.
