Are you kidding me, how could they retire they are practically like rookies!

It seems SC2 is not for everyone after all.


can you imagine what it feels like to know that they were the next big thing, and then have the rug completely swept underneath them and told that they had to switch to a new game and start over again?

it's easy for those who have not made their name, and perhaps it is easier for those who already have. but to be in between and so close to the latter, that is cruel.

i guess I should of saw brave's retirement incoming when we saw that chain reaction wasn't in the map pool anymore

but seriously it sucks that we won't get to see these guys play anymore. Although really we won't get to see ANY progamer play BW again within a few months . man these are shitty times :\

Killer was one of my favorite players. Sad to see his career end so quick.

Best of luck in their lives, hope Killer's retirement and decision to move onto something different turns out well despite such a significant amount of time devoted to something as specialized/unique as BW

anyone would want to retire if you are forced to play a game that you doesn't want to play (Sc2) that's the reason, this guys are progamers because they love Broodwar, and now they are forced to play Sc2,

Yeah, that's true and sort of sad, though most of the pros don't seem too saddened by the switch. The big thing, I think, is the absolutely horrendous dual-game format >:[

well they kind of have to put on a face right? their careers, and their coaches careers and their managers careers all depend on the fans having enough confidence to trust the switch. no one is going to watch someone playing a game he or tossgirl publicly stated they doesn't enjoy.

if anything the SC2 players are more vocal about how shit the format is compared to their counterparts.

I mean, that makes perfect sense and obviously they'd prefer to stay with BW, but they probably knew that eventually they'd have to switch, I mean there comes a time...still sad to see them go though, yeah.

Even the pros leaving aren't likely to say anything too bad about the game. While they don't personally like it, I'm sure they think it's worth it to just keep quiet, if only because they don't want to screw over their teammates and coaches who still need to depend on the new game to make a living.

I wish them all the best. Their games will be greatly missed.
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

I'm getting used to the bad news. Also it doesn't make that much of a difference to me if they switch or quit tbh. Well, I hope they do well.
