Well, he is not playing pro anymore, he goes wherever he is invited or where he qualifies but that's all, it's a hobby thing AFAIK.

He retired from professional starcraft. He did noit retire from Starcraft, he only doesn't prioritize it anymore. So that's two different things.

I dont mind this. But then if he was gonna do this then there is no need to publicly annouce his retirement then? Nothing wrong with him playing, just that he shouldn't announce his retirement if he plans on playing still,it's just not honorable IMO.

Clearly, I was like "WTF" when reading :D

So I can just say that same thing? Imagine myself being a pro SC player. Then I announce publicly I retire. That will automatically attract lots of attention. Then I keep playing. That's just a stupid and cheap move then. If he still plans on playing SC2, by all means go ahead but don't announce the retirement then?

Nerchiooooooooooooo!!!!! And vs Stephano no less, this will be good. I hope they both advance, but Welmu or Demuslim advancing is cool too.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

If you publicly retire from professional starcraft and do not play starcraft professionaly anymore (Which Stephano does not do), you do not break your word or anything like that. Retiring from Starcraft is not the same as retiring from professional starcraft.
