Sea is the only person I've watched stream that actually seemed to enjoy the game. He was always smiling. Sure it could be for show, but I even heard him comment on how much fun it was. I was in complete shock. Like how is he playing t vs z and enjoying that? There's obviously some correlation between winning and happiness, especially for a player with his standards. But, despite switching to SC 2 later than most, he was still GM in Korea. I can only think of Flash as having had more success than Sea at such a young age (even if just a beast in pro league). If anyone can succeed at SC 2, it's probably him. With Sea enjoying playing mech, it seems insane to retire with HotS right around the corner.

I don't know who to fault, but you can't think that it helps to play BW on the side. If you view BW as the better game and the more enjoyable one, and one which you were a top player, then that nostalgia can't help. I also don't think it helps if you don't put Sea in the proleague lineup. Whether it's a different game or not, Sea earned the right to play himself out of the lineup, by losing in proleague. EGTL was already fielding players that you knew were going to lose. I don't care what happened in practice, Sea earned that right and you have to know that not playing him = retirement. You can't afford to lose your most talented Korean player due to being more concerned with marketing or w/e.


Or maybe they already knew about his decision to retire and he didn't want to play or practice for it?


Ofc I thought about that and that's possible. But, if you join a team, I think you owe it to them to at least stick it out and go down fighting. Sea had more fun playing than anyone I've seen, so something doesn't add up. If you were one of the top pro league players ever, your pride would be shot if players you didn't think highly of were playing instead of you. I just think Sea was kinda forced into retirement by circumstances. I mean, taeja and hero are locks to be in the lineup. And since it's a team partnership, EG is going to want to have their equal share of players. I'm sure there's also a blend of I think this gives us the best shot of winning and I think we can also insert "x" to give us more viewers. If Sea didn't decide to retire before the rosters were released, there's no one else to blame but EGTL for that lack of foresight. Whether Sea should retire or not, you have to know he would at least impulsively want to.

I thought Sea should have left Liquid for simply allowing someone to give him a 2 in pro league... But, given that he was given a 2 which is absurd, you would have to think someone had insider knowledge already of this decision.

Thats a pity. His results were actually starting to become good, it felt like he had a future with SC2,

Oh well, if he doesnt rly like the game one can not force him.

GL in your future engagements, buddy

An abrupt end to a great pro-gaming career
See ya Sea, you followed your dreams to the limit, and I hope you retire happy. Have a great life Sea, we will always be behind you.

I've seen more surprising things. Nada joining Azubu for me is one for example.

Sea often streamed BW and it didn't seem like he had much fun playing SC2 so when he didn't play in PL for the first 3 matches i knew something isn't right and thus ain't really surprised.

See... get laid, please. It sounds like he is depressed...
Those "smart" guys think Cannabis Oil can treat some pain and that's it. They have no idea that Cannabis Oil will actually completely kill the cancer, cure and recover the body to the full. Do a research and be amazed how easy it is to kill cancer.
