The team page announced a few days ago the temporary retirement of LucifroN and the manager of the team. They also released a statement/letter of farewell, in which both speak briefly on the subject.

Farewell Letter of LucifroN and Ryo (Manager)

Today is a sad day, as the goodbyes always are, in which we report that, after a long time in the world of competitive gaming, we have decided to take a break. This is mainly because we are at a point where we can not spend much time at the scene, mainly due to studies, plus many years in a row (adding the stages of WC3 and SC2) we believe it is time to take a break. We hope that this break is temporary and we can return one day, but right now we don't know when that will happen. This break is not total. We'll occasionally continue to play for fun and you will see us through Battle.net, but always taking the game as something more relaxed, something that simply pass the time when we want.

We want to thank the club APSC2 for the journey, also thank the trust they put in us at this stage, and make mention of our 4 teammates with whom have spent much time and shared several tournaments, and those who will be missed. We wish luck to all in the future.

Finally, we also want to send a cordial greeting to all the communities, teams, gaming fans in general, and to thank all the support you have shown during this time.

Until next time!

LucifroN and Ryo.

Entirely expected, it was known that this is why he wasn't on a big name team. Nevertheless as Endrey said it's really sad as he had sooooo much potential as a player.

And that's why he wasn't playing since dreamhack valencia?
That's sad, LucifroN's Blue Flame Medivacs was one of the best micro I've ever seen.

It's sad that Lucifron didn't play as pro in SC2, he showed as much potential as Stephano if not more.
When he played for some weeks he instantly was among the best foreigner terrans, which is quite sick.

Best Spanish Player imo. I Hope he will be back.

Really sad since when he started playing again, he became really fast the 2nd best terran player right behind ThorZain, raping everyone left and right (Stephano, Nerchio, etc) T;T

really sad, lucifron was one of the most talented players in sc2, beating pros left and right with even less training than stephano; unfortunetaly he never went fulltime sc2 ):

Sad to see a WC3 player leave. Being mostly a BW player myself I think the WC3 guys bring a unique sort of playstyle to the game.

LucifroN is such a genius. I encountered him on ladder as the beginning of season 5, he just started playing a bit (he was something like top master)... and when I looked at GM ranking, he achieved top 4 GM. After months of inactivity he can juste come back and play at a good level again, even though it's only ladder it's impressive.
I really hope that he'll play competitively again =D
foreign terrans need this genius
