Effort retired in the peak of his career. Match Fixing Scandal is probably best to wiki.... http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Match_Fixing_Scandal | ||

I haven't been around for quite some time so I'm blank on these. effort retired unexpectedly 9 months ago, recently after winning an OSL. KeSPA rules say he needs to wait a year before reapplying as a progamer A gross oversimplification of the match fixing scandal is that there were players who were payed to lose games so that people could bet against them. It was a lot of lesser players, and the biggest names were savior, hwasin, yarnc, and luxury. All 13 (I think it was 13) players are permanently banned As for my guess: I think that they are sponsoring the OSL, that seems the most plausible | ||

I haven't been around for quite some time so I'm blank on these. effort retired to study. Not sure what was the exact reason but it was not anything bad like slump/scandal Well i am curious because they tweeted it in English. Maybe some sort of global BW talent search like what Estro did. Or an OSL overseas. Although not sure how viable that would be. | ||

You can see on the account that they only tweet in Korean, so obviously this time it will be some kind of international-related news. This times it's more like "Let's hype the e-sports fans worldwide". And for me Hite Entus e-sport = starcraft (not beer) And worldwide starcraft community/competitions = Starcraft 2 I'm a BW fan, and honestly i don't think it's bw related, because let's be honest 95% of people into this game are in Korea, and the leftovers on TL.net  Biggest bullshit I've read in this thread. They can tweet in English; they responded in English before. When the tweets began, they posted in both Korean and English. Recently, they recognized that TL is still part of BW. They know that the world cares. So just saying that this is going to be SC2 related because they posted in 'English' is the most bullshit argument I've read in past few days. | ||

I'm ready for the OSL though, I've always thought it was better than the MSL  , maybe they'll have a ridiculous prize pool or something! | ||

How far did you go back into their timeline? o_O Hite is probably the team that makes the most effort to reach its foreign audience. They reply on Twitter in English, and they have an official Facebook page set up that gets updated during each match.
