Oh man Killer.. Such a talented OZ zerg. Very sad to see him go.

It seems so.


The sheer amount of gut feelings that you have that seem to actually happen makes me scared to read that you (and people around fomos) suspect more to come =/

At least in the other thread about the new uniforms we can see JD. The lack of info related to him was starting to worry me a lot.

And now the move from by.Hero seems more logic than before.

This will probably be the first of many retirements that we will see in the next coming months, with the pro BW scene ending and all, the good news is that he might be able to stream now.


He wouldn't retire to play SC 2 out of Kespa . It makes no sense , since it is the most established E - sports entity in the world. If he quit , because BW is on it's last leg , he has probably quit gaming for good .


He could be talking about doing a HiyA and just streaming games from home. Killer's quite a good Z, and it looked like he just felt completely demotivated; thus being the reason for his retirement.

JD won't retire this season. The team was built around him.

I hope they find success and happiness in whatever they choose to pursue in the future. Farewell Brood War warriors.

Wise words. ㅠㅠ

That was unexpected, especially from Brave who was putting up pretty good results.
I guess it's not satisfying enough when those decent results still make you the 4th protoss of the team

I don't know what to say about Killer, he's supposed to be the mini-dong with a huge potential, but except that great ZvZ streak in the first half of 2011, he was pretty bad (ie average ZvP and awful ZvT like tons of mediocre zergs).
I'll always remember him as the guy BoxeR humiliated with nukes when he made that short come back in 2009. That and the Bambi eyes in Hwaseung House.

Wish the guys the best for their future.

what in the hell...... they shouldn't even call it retirement when they are so young (91-92 born)
should be called: they quit progaming; most likely because bw is moving to sc2

The old wound is reopened up and torn at again...

I always hate to see players leave. It's just such a shame. Best of luck to Brave and Killer to whatever they decide to do in the future.

As always, thanks for sharing the news Ryo!

the thing is with the sc2 switch incoming all the high salaries will go down, the big and medium stars will need to start from scratch to regain a high salary, and that will probably kill the motivation for a lot of pros.

I knew the hits were coming, didn't expect them to come so early....

All the Best to both Killer and Brave in whatever they choose to do in life.
