F91 is probably one of the most famous Brood War players in China, known as the Zergling King of the South. He got invited to TeamLiquid Starleague a few times (can't remember if BW or SC2), but later got banned becuz of BM. Anyway, he's really old for a progamer now (like 33?), so technically he's retired. But he remains a key figure in the Chinese SC2 community by doing casting work along with Xiaose and Ms-joy. The trio has a very large fan base in the Chinese community. F91 in particular, is nicknamed Comedian-in-chief, becuz of his unorthodox and hilarious builds and the uncanny ability of making viewers laugh without actively trying.
So you probably shouldn't expect to see flawless play out of him. They are actually betting if he can take one game of of Jaedong. He's probably gonna try some funny cheese, get eliminated, and go back to casting with Xiaose and Ms-joy.
F91 did retire, but he's making this special return cuz 1) he's a huge fan of Jaedong and 2) Chinese audiences have no problem seeing him lose in spectacular fashion. In fact, I think they're looking forward to see him lose and struggle to produce an excuse XD
Toodming never retired. I think you confused him with Comm, who did retire to play Hearthstone.

Huh, I wasn't around for BW so I had never heard of F91. Thanks for the insite! I really need to go read up on my BW (and even SC2) history.
