http://fnatic.com/news/10226/fnatic-says-farewell-rain-retires.html



Fnatic.Rain: Hi guys this is Fnatic Rain and I'm really sad to announce my retirement. I was considering about retirement about 3months ago but now I think it's a proper time to retire because I feel I can't make good game and result anymore. I'm really thankful to Fnatic for such a good opportunity and provide me a good environment. I had really good experience abroad and made many friends, competing in lot of tournaments. If I didn't work with Fnatic, I think I wouldn't have been able to have such good opportunities.

Not unexpected he hasn't been getting results for a long time. I hope Fnatic sign some of the former SlayerS players like Dark to boost their GSTL team.

I felt like he was playing really well in team leagues actually. Wasn't a huge fan of him, but boy that game at MLG vs boxer was awesome. Wonder what he is going to do next?

Good luck Rain on your future endeavors!

Looking at the bright side, there wont be any more confusions next time anybody says Rain in the SC2 scene (if there ever was any lately)

I remember his match vs Boxer at the first or second MLG I watched, those were entertaining
Refer to my post.

He hasn't done much in a long time so this was the right choice for him.

It's also great for SC2 fans because now when people say "Rain", there is no question about which one it is.

Boxer vs Rain comes to mind. Never liked his style too much, but he was a fierce starcraft player. Good luck in life Rain.

Well I guess it's no suprise. The pro scene got to big due to the addition of the Kespa pros so I guess some of the lower tier pros just have to leave...

Sad to see you go rain, but I wish you the best of luck! I hope you either return or continue with pro gaming in LoL ( I feel terrible saying that for some reason ), or any other game, I just hope you continue with gaming Rain. Good luck!!!

This sucks for the community, it was always refreshing to study his aggressive playstyle.
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings
