I'd expect it to go both ways as the competition gets higher. There are still a lot of players out there who are having a hard time in having any staying power. I expect a lot more KeSPA players to retire just like I expect more guys will lose their drive in playing SC2. HotS will definitely help reinvigorate a few but the question is how long. | ||

Wow that was awesome, he went so much derper than I expected XD I will miss you so much HongUn. If only you didn't have problems with your wrists... and he was more motivated. Perhaps he may have taken down Nestea in that Ro4 that one time and possibly have won a GSL. Dammit HongUn, what are you retiring for? Do you have a good paying job now or are you just totally disgusted by playing so much Starcraft? | ||

HongUn just seemed to have lost all will to play, it happened randomly from time to time since open season 3 when HongUn would randomly be depressed in interviews before being happy again. I suppose finally he gave up once and for all, his qualifier interview was a clear indicator that he simply stopped caring and only stuck around due to his contract with absolute legends. | ||

I wonder why he quit though. Actually he streamed several times in May, but only 2 times in June. I wonder if he always streams when he plays (I would say yes). Even though he doesn't play much, he can still own NA GM. I wonder if he plays other games or if he's disgusted though. I mean, playing SC2 only 2 times a month? Why so little? I hope he's not playing LoL XD. Since he was on Absolute Legends, I imagined it shouldn't be hard to stay on the team. Maybe they were going to keep forcing him to try to qualify for GSL and he didn't want that, so he left and retired after not feeling like finding another foreign team he can make easy money off of? (While playing SC2 very minimally, basically only for fun while he can still ride on his skill). Or maybe the money he made was very very little. I'm a bit curious ;O I mean, he could still compete in some Playhem daily cups and win money. Though i guess even if he wins 50% of them, that's like 4 hours for 37.5$... so I guess it's not a very good pay especially if he's not having fun at all =/ T_T He didn't even let us know what that other goal in life he wanted to accomplish X) Dang it interviewer, why didn't you ask him? XD | ||

Besides, I feel like both games he wasn't anal enough about maintaining the charge on the void rays. I feel like jaedong or someone who could do muta micro in sc1 could of made atleast one of those games work. Regardless, he went out doing what I remember him doing(besides blink). | ||

Well back when he was in the semi finals of GSL every interview he was complaining about his wrists. Is there actual info he ever got that fixed up cause i can imagine that being a major dump in motivation. | ||
