Who cares? If she hasn't won anything (female only tournies shouldn't count and the fact they exist is stupid) then why give her attention for just being female. Seems sexist to me, or maybe it's just the gamers who haven't seen a female/sun in a while who will miss her.

I really hoped she would play better again with SC2, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Hopefully she will somehow stay in the scene, like becoming a commentator or something.

If she was a male that had the same results she would have retired ages ago and no one would have heard of her.

Now this is a sad and a little unexpected news. I was hoping for more medic date interviews and stuff.

Let's put our 'LoL is the retirement avenue of BW pros' theory to the test ^_^

Maybe she will go to SC 2, bet she would actually be very good at it.

Retiring as a "active progamer" probably means she won't be playing anything, including SC2. This is actually good news, since the sooner she stops trying, the sooner her suffering ends. Now she can do something else like a normal girl!.

I hope she transitions nicely into gravure modelling, like secretly the rest of her fans want.

I always hoped she would actually become legitimately good, alas those dreams come to an end today.

Not that surprised tbh. Even if she wasn't notable as a female progamer, she's 27 now iirc and that's on the old side for progaming anyways.

You haters don't get it, she managed to be a practice partner at least in her achievement, as well being the sole female professional player in a male dominated scene, playing against other male pros. She's a pioneer and her determination should be admired. No other females were stubborn and determined enough to do what she did for so long.

Yea the funny thing is thats not what she looks like so wtf is this picture here.

Kinda sad, its pretty epic to have 1 female progamer, gives the scene more persona.
Other people that are like this are IdrA and maybe Day9.

It doesnt suprise me though, I have never seen her play and watched most OSLs from 2009 to 2011.

May she find satisfaction in whatever pursuit she goes into after this.

I remember her game against Reach I think it was.. holy shit so good. Def worth checking out! Hopefully she will continue to do interviews etc and not become a simple civilian
