Rain was savage lol.

A couple of years ago I was worrying about them retiring one by one because of age, marriage, kids, focusing on other businesses, losing motivation etc. but as it turns out, none of them have actually retired. In fact we have more people coming back now. Effort, Bisu, Stork, Rain, even Fantasy although only for 1 tournament. Even Larva and Last are still playing regularly, just not competitively.

It's funny to me how much shit the top pros talk. I'm used to seeing it in normal ladder games but it always catches me off-guard how much shit they talk to each other as well.

They've all known each other since their teens and it's not like they were just online friends either, it's just that the filter of the professional environment from back in the day is completely gone.

But man do these dudes retire and un-retire like pro wrestlers

It's understandable because such a move is like a jump into the dark oftentimes. Like changing study subject or career or the place where you live, you'll only really know how it feels like on the other side once you're there, day in day out.
He probably still has the same good reasons to quit streaming SC, but he felt the things that held him back from doing so much stronger after he actually tried to step away from it.
Even more so if he actually made it as a hasty decision because of one (more) hurting loss, without a clear exit strategy.

Hope he can make up his mind over time and maybe adjust in some way to make it less uncomfortable for him.

Oh thank god he's back. Been one of my favorite Zergs ever since he joined KT after estro disbanded way back when.

I never realized Rain is such a funny guy, no wonder he became a big time variety streamer.

Great video jinjin!

Action has been having wrist pain for a long time now. Interest might shift as well (not in this case apparently).

Nobody ever completely retires from playing a game they dedicated so much of their life to. They might not compete in many tournaments anymore, but they'll still play the game.

Ie. I played competitive SSBM for 6+ years, and while I don't compete in tournaments anymore, I still play the game from time to time

Happy Birthday according to profile picture cake!

I would be surprised if ANYONE takes pros retiring seriously at this point.

I think some have retired multiple times even! ; D
