The korean sc2 scene has been suffering from massive oversaturation of players for long time, not much surprise that the old bw pro's that failed in sc2 would be retiring at the end of the season.

I remember Light for having nearly perfect TvZ in the final couple years of BW, as well as for his success in Winner's League (he always seemed to have 3 or All Kills).

I remember Flying mostly for the Jaedong game. Not that Flying did anything special, but who can ever forget THAT game?

Hate seeing players retire, but I would much rather them do what they think is best for themselves.
I enjoyed watching them both play and hope they happy future in whatever they decide to do.

Didn't Light say, once upon a time, in an interview that he wasn't interested in playing sc2 the slightest bit and would retire after BW ended?

Guys, people retire all the time in "sports." You can't play forever. It's no big deal.

Except that so far the majority of the old BW guys that retired from SC2 went back to BW and are competing in amateur leagues and streaming online. They are not retiring from gaming, they are fed up with SC2 and going back to BW. Some have flat out said they dont enjoy sc2 like Jangbi, Sea.. some you can speculate its cause they arent as successful as they were in BW but at the end of the day they are leaving one game that has the money, all the funding, big sponsors, blizzard backing and giving all that up for BW.

Fucking sc2 is dying posts make me cringe. It is inevitable for a lot of the kespa guys to retire since they tend to be pretty old bw veterans. What did you expect, Flash playing sc2 when he's 30 years old? People grow up.


except these pplz are not 30, especially someone as young as flying.

My suggestion to herMan. Don't go on /r/starcraftcirclejerk. You'll have an aneurysm.

The switch to SC2 was like two years of their career though. If you were 22 initially, still a normal age for a progamer, then all of a sudden you become 24 before you're competitive again and at that point the military already is looming. I think if they don't have that much success in SC2 and they just want to wait out their time until they have a chance to do military, to move on with their life, that their best bet is to retire and stream BW in the mean time. It's probably fun for them, since they're not forced to play BW anymore (it's just for fun now) and there is a lot of enthusiasm for their streams and so on.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Large number of BW players making the switch to a new game and some of them deciding they want to go into military service, rather than continue with SC2. Think of it as a major sports team moving to a new city and a group of players transferring to other teams or retiring. Except that they need to go to the military by law, so they just retire.

Also, that League of Legends thing taking the spotlight.

Meanwhile free is still going strong.

I'm a bit sad to see them quitting but WJS has so much upcoming players who also need to have the spotlight. BrAvO had an excellent run in the first half of the PL and others will too.

and the following of the new SC is like 1/10 of that of the old one.
