Man, They changed the title and I thought that it was a new annoucement that Bisu was retiring. I was so scared. Until I read it again and it was still Xellos.

Still sad, just not as tragic as Xellos and Bisu

I saw the title "The best looking progame..." in the sidebar and clicked for the 12491417 links that would be posted to Nada's Body and/or Hot & Pretty Progamer Girls.

But no, just a retirement thread for Xellos. I suppose perfection would include looks?

Am I doing it right?

Happy that he'll stay professionally involved with CJ as a team, even without becoming coach. Interesting options for other progamers in the future, and good for esports. He's one of the white knights of Starcraft. Hope to see him show himself from behind the scenes, when his team wins something. Not really a loss for the scene at the moment, because of inactivity.

What is with everyone complaining about Bisu retiring. Most Handsome is Obviously NaDa if you don't know this you shouldn't be on TL. I was So afraid NaDa quit esports forever seeing the new thread title D:

Every time I see proGAMER I read proGRAMMER...

(Incidently, I don't follow pro gamers so that's probably my problem)
