Dude, guys, as sad is it is to say that this is more Effort just being a wimp instead of a real problem, it is.
To roughly translate the situation
1. Effort wanted to use windows xp in season 2, citing control issues in Windows 7 in ZvT. Apparently muta cloud control is weird or something in windows 7.
2. OGN says NOPE
3. Effort practices for 5 months or so on Windows 7
4. Bisu asks, I think before the 2nd season, to be allowed to use Windows xp, OGN agrees
5. Effort shows up, is surprised when the launcher is xp, but since he didn't have to face any terrans, and just goes with it.
6. After fighting Mind and losing, he THEN now says that it was OGN's fault for switching to xp, and announces he wont play on his PERSONAL STREAM on Afreeca. As far as I can tell, he didn't officially tell OGN he was quitting, he bascially just cited some non-sensical reasons as to why he was dropping out while streaming on Afreeca.

TLDR; After Effort lost to Mind, he acts like a spoiled child, citing that OGN shouldn't have changed the launcher from 7 to xp. He's basically saying you like Bisu better than me, so f*** you OGN(ignoring that Bisu asked before the tournament while he asked during it, I think). Its ironic that he mentions the launcher change as well as a bunch of personal stuff as the reason he's dropping because he said all this garbage the MINUTE he loses against Mind. Most people here, myself included, can declare that Effort is a really ill-mannered kid. He complains the minute he loses, citing at best half-baked reasons and doesn't even have the manners to officially report to OGN he is dropping out.

However, while Effort also didn't act his age, OGN didn't either; the choice they made to say OK to Bisu's request while ignoring Effortt's doesn't sit right, and to be honest, neither party in this event is innocent. OGN are showing almost blatant favoritism when it comes to who they listen to, and Effort really could have handled the incident better and more maturely.

It looks like his agency company Kongdoo has come out with an apology for Effort's recent actions.
http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2015070720091014503

Sounds like a bunch of miscommunication between the players and OGN. Also talks about a wrist injury that Effort has been concealing until now?

First, the drunken tirade against CJ for treating him unfairly. Now, this.

Geeze, Effort really seems to be the Roy Keane / Nick Krygios / <enter name of sporting diva> of SC.

effort practiced on win7 for 5 months, obviously he didnt ask during it.

if you are an athlete in a competitive event and you are refused permission to use equipment B and can only use equipment A. then you train heavily with equipment A for 5 whole months. then a week prior to the event a star athlete comes along and got his request to use equipment B for the whole event accepted easily, unlike your request 5 months earlier. you would become pretty incensed too that you are made to train on an obsolete equipment for so long.

effort himself or someone needs to curb his drinking habits i think, effort tends to go off without restraints on his stream and starts saying the wrong things which is mostly likely reason for this fiasco.

I don't know, not all publicity is good publicity.

I just hope that all the relevant parties sort this thing out and make sure it never happens again. And agreed, EffOrt should curb his drinking habits but that's for him to do though.

there is no such thing as bad publicity.

sad that some people still don't know the different between bgh and hunters... or the fact they're both old maps. Heck they even played homage to them in the other games heh.

Effort is the flash that gets ignored

He notably complained about switch to newer monitors in like 2011 (at least in english translated interviews). That's valid though

And, well, we all know his OSL tiebreaker round

What the hell is hunters? I'm not that knowledgeable about bw but thought I knew the names of all the units at the very least.

Sounds bad for Effort, hope this stuff blows over.


Actually, with regards to a Zerg unit, "Hunters" refer to a specialized elite strain of Hydralisks that have double the HP and attack of normal Hydralisks. Just look up "Hunter Killer". If Effort had been massing hunters on his stream, and he is not allowed to mass them in the SSL, I can understand why he would be upset - they are a lot more effective against sieged tanks (they take 2 + shots to be killed), and are generally a better unit.

Also everybody played Hunters because when you scrolled down to find a big map it was the last of the list. That's why it's popular too

That's too true... Human nature is weird.

Also i hope it's not that thing again when Bisu is good looking so they listen to him but not to effOrt.
