I wonder what he'll be doing at CJ. I hope he finds happiness with whatever he's moving on to. I guess this will also give him more time to become the perfect husband! | ||

Which obviously won't happen anymore considering CJ's depth, but I'm in the same boat as you "hoping" he would've played. Sad, but happy for him staying with CJ considering all he's done for that team. Another player who shall not be named.......could've been in the same situation as Xellos a few years down the line as well if, you know, didn't happen. | ||

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!! | ||

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 | ||

Makes sense for him to find a job related to what he's doing xD haha (CJ) | ||

I'll miss the perfect terran, he was a huge part of pro starcraft for me, I remember scouring the internet trying to find replays of him to emulate and feeling like I hit the jackpot every time I got a genuine one. His micro and game sense were out of this world. | ||

Might be from a manga, the "Slayers," one. That's the only thing I could find with that specific name spelling. | ||
