Not enough girls screaming and hiding their faces ;( While every pro has his own reasons for retirement, we can say that everyone of them were hit by downsizing of Starcraft brand in Korea. Seeing God young ho of BW asking fans to show, because chairs are empty. | ||

All we need now is for Flash and Jeadong to "retire" and move to SSL too  | ||

I will explain in to you, most of them already know what life besides Starcraft2 looks like. Let's take the big starts like Boxer/Nada, they had their time and they come to a new game which is far inferior to what they were playing. No point in staying. Starcraft2 will end up with a few foreigners and koreans that don't see life besides the game so they keep holding to it even if they don't enjoy playing. | ||

In fact at this rate SSL will be a higher quality tournament than SC2 Code S lol All we need now is for Flash and Jeadong to "retire" and move to SSL too I doubt that will happen soon, im pretty sure Jaedong won't, F & J were properly marketed before switch and their value is quite high even if they are slumpin(not winning everything as they supposed to). See Jaedong doing well both on market side and not bad on results side. However Flash is the tricky one, he always had his drive to be the best of the best, he proclaimed he is gonna be legend and win everything. So the obstacle for him may be the biggest one, there may be point where he will think to himself "Well it's not worth it ill just sit on my prize winning and go studying/army". | ||

I'm pretty sure there'll be people who enjoy playing the game. | ||

Yes some pros are going to stream BW for a while and will probably play until their military service, but do people honestly think these people will play BW full time again? I know this forum is based entirely around eSports and the progaming scene, but being a BW progamer was not exactly a brilliant life, I mean look at Flash. He did pretty much nothing but practice 12-15 hours a day and he missed out on so many things. The only thing that went well for Flash is he made so much bank with that practice that it outweighed the issue. There's just not enough money for those sorts of people to want to go back to BW and if anything they'll either try to get into LoL or just move on with a relatively normal life. It's a shame Flying and Light are retiring, but people don't seem to realise that being a progamer is still not a long time career path for a lot of people and many who have been doing it for years already now, especially after the transition to a new game might not either be making enough money to want to continue, or get bored with whatever game it is they're playing. | ||
