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. | ||

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. | ||

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 ![]() | ||

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

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. ![]() Give it a few months... 3 at best. | ||

After recovering a bit he might consider playing in SSL. Looks like Killer needs to sharpen his ZvP a whole lot more | ||
