HongUn easily has some of the most entertaining and unique strategies in GSL history!

One of the things I can clearly remember from the early days of the GSL was the Great Wall of Hongun.. Best of luck to him in the future

One less handsome nerd in the world.
*Tear*

The game wont be the same without Carriers, blink stalkers and the Hongun 'macro' nexus.
Goodluck in future endeavours broskies
If you dont like something, then that should be reason enough to try and change it

Sorry HongUn, you won't be missed. I never liked your style and I always thought you were cheesy as f'.

GL anyways.

Sad to see him go. I remember his wacky play in the earlier GSLs which were somewhat entertaining.

i dont understand why they retire? dont they have a salary just for playing? besides small tournaments that they can just walkover everyone?


Maybe they don't want to play a game they neither enjoy nor excel at anymore for a mediocre salary that nevertheless demands a ridiculous amount of time, effort, and stress? Are you retarded?


im sorry for being retarded asking a question, but u play this game like him and dont have a salary? what about that? why do u play it? its the same at least for me

He and everyone else plays it because they have fun doing so, it's entertaining. Yes he was paid but he didn't enjoy playing anymore so he retires. There is more to life than money.

Lower level koreans usually only get salary on foreign teams. Most korean teams don't hava salaries.

And he's on a small foreign team, thus he'd get a mediocre salary? There's a woosh here but I don't know where.

Has sc2 peaked, WoL at least? So may players are dropping out, switching games and thinks that the game is dull/boring.
