What I've heard is that this might be his last GSL and that he will focus on school.. And he did get knocked out so I dont think he will continue with his pro-gaming career

Not too surprising. If you remember back couple months ago, when he was still in code S, he was constantly complaining about wrist pain and was about to retire. His family (i think) or team convinced him to continue back then, but I guess he decided to take it easy now that he's out.

I recall HongUn saying that when he stopped winning (IE knocked out of the GSL I presume) he'd stop playing.

I'm actually really surprised that this sank as low as it did, it's pretty huge news.

If he doesn't retire he'll go to TSL I think he said that one of the reasons he stays in progaming his friendship with clide so I don't see him going anywhere except there.

It's pretty obvious that HongUn is retiring from progaming to protest the removal of the mothership and carrier from Heart of the Swarm.

Didn't Polt leave Prime for kind of the same reason? I don't think the word 'quit' ever floated around with Polt, but he did leave to pursue school a little more and got picked up by TSL, so, I don't know?

BoxeR re-qualified for Code A again this season, and beat MVPDream in a TvT to advance to the next round. He's not done.

I bet Artosis will be the happiest person in the world if he does actually quit.

Don't blame him, he attends the best university in Korea.

Polt had an amicable split with Prime. His views on the team's progression or mentality differed from that of his coach. They discussed it, and decided that a different team would be a better fit for him.
