But Proleague rapidly loses fandom after transitioning into SC2. After less than a month, there were only half the fans coming to watch the games.

"Not only me, the other players felt this too. Seeing the emply stadium, the motives of playing just isn't there anymore. Without an audience in sight, we lose our meaning to play the matches."

A lot of people, including Bisu, were surprised by the declining of viewership. At first Bisu thought fans might come back slowly, but one day he realized they left for good. The players with the most fans like him, knows about this feeling more than anyone.

"Fans are leaving, what's the meaning of me stay here to play? I feel hollow in my heart, a feeling I never had during Brood War times, being a pro-gamer no longer ignites the fire in my heart."

Bisu came up with the thought of retiring near the end of the the season. He finally realized, the support of fans is what keeps him continuing his career.


Pretty painful to read that.

Nowadays retirement is a good news for the BW fans, but it is sad to see great players suffering for not showing good results in a game they don't like, just as bisu did. I was so happy to see Bisu stream, his games against Sea were very good and even Sea was impressed for how hard it was to play against a rusty Bisu. I hope him the best and hope to see him in a SSL in the future.

It sure is. Watching the half empty stadium and how cameraman was trying to not show that during last Proleague season was painful as well.
If nothing changes (and I don't see why would it), we'll see some major changes very soon. There's no room for both GSL/GSTL and Proleague in Korean SC2 scene atm, it's way too small.
---

Never was a huge fan as well, but still sad to see it ends like that for him. Maybe he should've retired during SC2 switch, as a great BW player, rather than torturing himself with the game he didn't liked for so long.

Bisu is far too handsome.
On a side note, his retirement still doesn't feel real to me.

While I don't disagree, most of these players continue for their fans. I'm pretty sure that Flash is playing SCII more for the fans than himself at this point. Jaedong, well, hard to say since he's had some success. Stork is probably in the same position as Flash even though he finally made it through code A qualifiers.

Good interview overall but that comment about the empty audience is so sad to read If Flash doesn't make the RO8 next time and Stork falls out to Yoda in his code A match, then I wouldn't be surprised if you read about them both retiring sooner than later. Jaedong is probably gonna stay since he's doing ok so far lol

Bisu, we love you. Even though you didn't become a protoss SC2 powerhouse, we still love you. I hope you are happier now that you don't hold the burden of expectations on you. <3

I hope Flash and Stork don't retire from SC2, but if they do, I'm gonna have to start watching SSL.

After recovering a bit he might consider playing in SSL.


Looks like Killer needs to sharpen his ZvP a whole lot more
