Not that I'm happy to see them leave, but given huge amount of uncertainty that surrounds the SC2 transition, I think it may be best for some players to retire. There's already tremendous amount of talent that saturates the SC2 scene, with questionable amount of monetary potential. Unless you're already a well-known progamer like TBLS, or you're really, really good at SC2, might be best long term to just move on with life.

With BW about to be gone, maybe they saw there is no point playing anymore. Killer had so much potential, so much bad luck that the scene is fading away when he was rising...

Sad to see them go, but hopefully they make the transition to non-progamer life quickly and easily.

Aww Killer. I guess I should reminisce here, having seen Killer put up instead of Jaedong for like 4 ACE matches. Such expectations that were never realized...

So sad. I didn't see it coming. Brave had actually a decent season and while Killer didn't really show good results no player from team8 did. I thought it was just a slump on his part and he will eventually bounce back.

I expected more older player retiring rather than relatively young ones. But if they don't enjoy progaming and with SC2 replacing BW I can totally understand it. Still, it makes me sad...

Oh man. Before Oz disbanded, Killer looked on track to contend for the spot of top Zerg. Then T8 turned out to be awful (maybe because of the break in practice). Now I assume he doesn't want to start from scratch in SC2.
