Quick and Dirty Translation (Excuse my rusty translation skills)

Announced by WeMade on the 20th of May, (P)HoOny has officially retired from his job as a progamer.

He made his progaming debut in 2004 and his first major league appearance in the EVER 2005 Starleague where he failed to advance from the Round of 16. After dropping out of the aforementioned OSL, he has been slumping ever since and has not been able to regain his form.

When announced as captain this year, he attempted to reinvigorate his career but two losses in the Winners League all but ruined his chances of a comeback.

He has made a statement saying "I will be officially leaving in July this year". His official reason for retiring is that he was drafted for national service and thus will be enlisting in the army.

The replacement for the position of team captain has not been announced yet, but rumors are flying around that it will be none other than (T)NaDa.

Not twenty days of deliberation, it says 'he made the decision on the 20th'

Twenty days of deliberation would produce quite the list of pros and cons

I thought team captain always went to whoever the most senior player was, so wouldn't it be easy enough to figure out from that?

Nada for captain? That should be good, although everyone knows that it's just a title for the oldest gamer on the team. Wonder how long it is before he decides to head off for ace...

I remember TheRock on Brainstar as the ace protoss advising the player. The other team was Nada helping out Baby. What a difference.

I vaguely remember this name, but I can't recall anything along with it, besides a name. Though, it is always sad to see a player retire, especially a team captain of Fox. Hopefully, when NaDa is captain, we can see some more progress, or at least have Fox turn onto a new rock.

Nada for captain will be awesome imo.

However my gut tells me Lee Yoon Yeol will probably head off to do his army duties for the motherland soon
