I don't understand how he could benefit more as a manager as opposed to an incredible, incredible player. They have A LOT of good players for them to be turning him into a manager.

Probably because players get paid diddly squat in China compared to managers.

Can't he pull a choya or TheWind and be a player/manager?

But it seems to correlate with the fact that he hasn't really looked as dominating in the Chinese scene for awhile. Never really seen him place as high as expected in a lot of the Chinese tournaments and he dropped a lot in his ladder rank.

Some chinese fans commented maybe he feels that it's already past his peak considering his age would be 24(?) this year. Plus given a CEO position, should be a very high pay. :D

Come on Xiaot ! you are killing me here ! I followed him in wc3 and since I saw him in starswar , I knew this is the guy who will own all the koreans in a the near future and be the first non korean to win a gsl (yes a man can dream) , and now he decided to stop playing , Xiaot just gave up his legendary status which I am 100% sure we was on the way to.

I am happy for xiaOt and sad for the chinese competitive scene at the same time. I am sure xiaOt wouldn't have made this move if he had thought that he would get the worse end of this. And considering that he was one of the best chinese players, this position must bring a lot of money for him.

He's also playing in a SC2 tourney, I think he might just be doing the play once in awhile thing for publicity. Not sure however.
