My guess is Rush didn't practice any SC2, and was planning on retiring after this OSL.

with limited sets and jangbi/stork always present, grape may just retire. rush even moreso (with leta/skyhigh/bbyong taking an sc2 slot).

Oh, and Ggaemo is on waivers due to being on Hwaseung before going to ACE. Don't think anyone is going to pick him up, effectively making him retired.

It's a real shame. The format more than anything else really was the writing on the wall with respect to reps. Just not a lot of room for exposure.

Not really a good time for being a KeSPA BW pro unless you are their star players.

He also switched race, so maybe he isn't enjoying SC2. Not ggaemo

GGaemo too? This is pretty much the worst news since Killer retired. Which was the worst news since Hiya retired, which....

Whoa, so surprised to see Rush and Grape on there with their current OSL runs, and just with them being up and comers. I guess the switch to SC2 must have really done them in? Does this mean their no longer on the team, or just not being fielded in the proleague this season as they're most likely behind and focusing heavily on BW for the OSL?

Be sad for them to leave so quickly with so much untapped potential.

Woah both Grape and Rush gave up on ProLeague and now they are even unlisted from the bench. I always liked Grape, he looked so handsome from the OSL intro. Rush displayed some sick Terran vs Protoss strategy against Mini a la Iloveoov. Why are Rookies leaving the scene left and right? They are still young!
