Killer, also known as Baxter, the former protege of Jaedong on Hwaseung Oz, left Starcraft 2 shortly after the transition and went back to playing Brood War. He had a successful Brood War amateur career, recently winning the biggest Brood War tournament running, the Sonic TV Starleague, only dropping three maps the entire tournament.
He was mysteriously absent from recent amateur tournaments, people wondering where Killer had gone. No news on if he has rejoined Team 8 or if he's still teamless, but he participated in the Code A qualifiers, losing to Sage 0-2.

Short summary is that he will return as a gamer for sc2. Says he's been practicing sc2 before/after SSL. He would like to return to team8 if contracts are possible, will try in offseason
So he is officially back as a SC2 programer!

The Brood War forum is going to be pissed.

Quick writing Fionn. Someone posted this in the prelims thread 2 minutes ago, and you already wrote this up...
Also ggaemo's also at the prelims.

enjoyed watching him in BW, but gl here i guess

Awesome, hope he does well. Looking forward to seeing more from him.
|
great player  mini-jaedong ^.^
|
Was it Killer that retired because of personal reasons (something regarding his family?) or did he just retire cuz of the game switch?
Anyway, I guess he wasn't that eager on the student/normal job type of life and with the success he had with BW during his short amateur period I guess he got the hunger to return as a progamer and get a steady paycheck again as well reaching the potential he had at Oz. I can respect that.
If this now means that he's back and not just giving it a shot for the hell of it.

Probably now  GGaeMo is playing vs  MVP.Killer
|
If he really is switching back to SC2, it's probably for HotS. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a couple of other old faces popping up.
|
Well.......
+ Show Spoiler +He got knocked out by Sage 2-0 in the only game he played today. He got a walkover win though
Still, hope he gets more into the game and hopefully gets picked up by a team.

Sangho, Felipe and Baxter to become Killer, MustacheKiller, PirateKiller and dominate the SC2 scene in 2013 and form their own Killer teamhouse on top of mount Olympus.

BAXTER! This is so awesome Baxter has ridiculous mechanics and had ton of potential in BW. Can't wait to see his play in SC2. Now if only Hiya would jump ship aswell.

The fact that he would even try out for Code A qualifiers says a bit. Hopefully this means we will see the return of Baxter !
