Not true at all, he looked bad in the first couple of showings after the switch to SC2 and then HoTS, but he improved by leaps and bounds since then, and he is one of the few tosses to have won a game against the dreaded SH split map scenario, and he did it against Soulkey. Given a bit more time I'd have called him a champion contender.

Seriously though all these old BW vets retiring now is greatly depressing.

Omg what? Yeah there is gonna have to be a GSTL/Proleague merge if im going to care next season.

Sigh, been a huge fan of Jangbi since his earlier MSL runs, through the slump and ending BW at the top. I always knew the day would come, but why today... Good luck in the military and hopefully we'll be able to see him associated with esports after it and please stream on afreeca!

Jangbi fighting!

This retirement it doesn't makes sense. He started to play at a good level just 1 season ago and right now he retires? hmmmmm. Thanks for all those moments on BW! Were the happiest.

Shit, just heard the news on Mafia but damn...


By hearing the news on mafia you mean while playing mafia or that Action also retired? If so, that would be pretty awesome to have a KT Zerg in SOSPA.

Kinda hoping for Hoejja to leave as well so I have a favorite player to cheer for(though Mafia Zerg would do just perfect)

On topic, that's kind of sad in an SC2 point of view, but exciting if he plays Sonic's leagues as he was obviously the top BW player at the time of the switch. Even Minidong wouldn't withstand the fury of the Almighty.


We're both listening to the Esports Mafia Week 18 cast man. That's how I heard about it too lol.


Thanks. There goes my hopes of having Mafia playing in SSL 9

It is probably because of money. These OSL champs most likely get a serious pay cut since the transition to SC2. Only JD is making good money. Even Flash said he was losing motivation.

Weird.

Jangbi always seemed to talk about how he relished the new game. Stork seemed like the one who hated it.

Sad, but not all too surprising. Hopefully he'll at least be able to play in and dominate the sonic starleague. Maybe if enough great players get tired of the game blizzard will be willing to make some fundamental changes to starcraft II. As it stands, it's missing a lot of the magic that made the old game the greatest esport of all time.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I'm pretty sure he was the 2nd best Protoss in the HotS half of Proleague and he was on the Power Rank a month ago.

Agreed. JangBi was never bad at SC2 and was getting better. I'm incredibly sad to see him go . One of the few to win back-to-back OSLs (the only Protoss to do it I think?).

You will be missed JangBi!

and some other big names will be among the list. Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, Fantasy, etc.

I wonder why Bisu didn't, it doesn't look like he's doing well anyway.
So here is my try Stork, Bisu, Effort, Roro

Roro isn't retiring yet. He won the last WoL GSL getting 100k although he's fallen a lot from that period. Effort, possibly. Must be painful to be an OSL winner and can't make it past RO32(I believe).

he won 50k not 100k

50? wasn't it 100 million won? I may be basing this on GSL open season prize although I watched the game live and saw him get the cheque.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_Global_StarCraft_II_League_Season_1

60 mil won

thanks, must be thinking of fruitdealer then.

Most likely Stork, possibly Bisu and Fantasy. If Flash doesn't get results soon, I think he might go as well. For some reason though I think JD will stay for a while.

agree. Stork, Bisu and Fantasy are doing horribly in SCII(Bisu best from all three).

Are you high? Fantasy's vastly outperformed Bisu in SC2

early on, yes he did. I think once HoTS released, Bisu started performing on par or better than Fantasy. I haven't seen Fantasy play in a while though so I could be wrong. As for stork, well, we can both agree he was the worst from all three XD


Bisu still has a ton to prove though man. Okay, so he got a few wins in PL. What has he done in Individual Leagues? In either case I don't see the worth in comparing players in a retirement thread. Difference is too small.

ya true. Mostly going off the PL wins for Bisu although Parting said he's amazing in practice or something.


Ofc he is. It's fucking Bisu mechanics. o; Practice is practice man but when it comes to the real deal you got to perform regularly. ;/ I was a huge supporter of Bisu back in the BW days, but I know when they're struggling.

ya, he's not enjoying himself thus the struggle. Can't blame them tbh. Feel bad for any BW player that was forced into SCII due to the change in PL. Worse for those like Jangbi who peaked and were at their best right when they were forced to switch.

Jangbi last finals against Flash were most beautiful PvT I've seen for a long time. He took down Flash, while Flash was crushing tosses like bugs left and right. Noone expected this, but he did it damn it.

Just remember his long slump of 13-15 losses? We all laughted whether he'd beat his loss record every new PL game, remember his smile when he won a game against Zero by storming the soul out of his drones. And that game was the begging of his rise.

Bisu, don't you back out too. You're going to qualify for the next OSL and stay with us!
