Hello everyone ~ it's Jun Oh. You must have been shocked by the sudden news of my retirement .... I'm sorry I couldn't say anything in advance and you had to hear about it through the media,,
For personal reasons, I'm quitting gaming.. Thank you, everyone, throughout this period, for giving such warm support and encouragement to insignificant me.
I'll live life being thankful for and remembering every single one of the faces of all the fans who came to support me and the people who gave me encouragement!!
All the best to everyone and anyway, this was the career I chose so I have no regrets^^ Thank you all again..
Thank you for the translation! Also, this really reminds me of that "the office"-scene where Ricky has that message on his answering machine. "Im not in at the moment, but please leave a massage..".
I wonder if the "personal reasons" are because of the Oz disbanding, the poor season, the Team8 situation not being able to land their own main sponsor and the hybrid Proleague-cluster fuck that just got to much for him or if there was something else like family business that made him quit gaming even if he wouldn't mind continue playing?
i wouldnt be surprised if it has to do with sponsorship ... the thought of your career and income hanging by such a thin thread isn't the most pleasant situation to deal with.
I have pretty much left this "eSPORTS" scene, I rarely check TL nowadays compared with back then....I just lost it after all the bullshit happening. Just had to post... Really is saddening. I remember that game of him vs Baby in OSL the most, where he used Guardians and dark swarm push to kill him off.
It always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to hear about a pro's retirement without knowing what he's gonna do next. Like i'm really curious as to what they'll do next in their lives.

BravE can go into Kpop with that suave look of his. Killer can probably go back to the roots of his alias.

with regards to Proleague, they are REQUIRED to alternate between games.
