I'm happy for ByuL though, showing all the doubters out there who somehow think he's just an overhyped player with no skill

I'm so fucking angry about Zest's play right now, first he throws that 2nd game against a wall so hard it breaks his nose and now this game? FFS. Now he's gonna get eliminated because everyone always loses their rematch.

This is what I don't get it. I heard that CJ forced effOrt to retire because he wasn't a good looking guy? But look at Byul, I wouldn't call him handsome, traditionally speaking.

lol that can't be true

You haven't heard that? It was in the effOrt retirement thread I think. I could be untrue but that rumor surfaced a couple of times.

effOrt not being a marketable persona is rumoured to be one of the reasons behind his 1st retirement, back in BW

They just didn't know how to market him ; he should have done adverts with hawks

that's a pretty big difference from it being because he wasn't good looking enough, idk about in BW but he wasn't amazing in SC2

It's a lot more complicated than that.
To put it simply back in BW Effort was an SS class zerg so his contract was expensive as hell.
They essentially refused to increase his pay to what he wanted (a pay worth of a top class player which they didn't want to pay but still wanted him on their team) but they refused
They also stopped him from switching his team( dunno by what means) that could have offered more money.
Then they released a fake notice of his retirement ( as some sort of pressure move like you are with as or you aren't a progamer statement) and Effort decided to tell them to go fuck themselves
It's all about money they didn't want to pay him more money so they used any excuse and shady shit to avoid that
A lot of that happened after the whole matchfixing incident too so it was all a mess with sponsers taking a step back and teams blaming players for matchfixing a lot.

In BW? Lol. Progaming didn't exist outside of Korea.
During his SC2 retirement, he decided to take care of his (now deceased I think) mother.
