Well, thats good to hear at least. Understandable decision.
Will FXO look for new talents or will we see more of Aqou, Kong and Supreme (see Liquipedia) in GSTL?

Damn...
Sad news 
|
Sad to see this happening , I really liked ASD and his steam. Well good luck to all of them !
|
I wonder if they will hire any new players since there are a lot of good unemployed players right now.
|
GL to those guys, even if they didn't have incredible individual results they contributed to FXO's incredible team league showings
|
i didnt know any of those players.
lol @ people saying bad state of the scene.
people stop playing games all the god damn time. how many games do you play? how many do you not play anymore. stop being so god damn sensationalist.

Didn't asd just participate in Code A qualifier today?
|
i don't think it's a big deal for sc2 in general. as for them personally, they tried, they gave it their best, it didn't work out, so they moved on. best decision in my opinion, i wish the all the luck in the future
|
Didnt asd have wrist problems anyways? IIRC retiering was the best for his health then.
|
Hope FXO plans on doing some recruiting.

All three participated in the Code A qualifiers.
Sirius even made it to the final in Group 5, but he lost 0-2 to Lure.

asd NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Sad to hear it.
|
I really did not expect Sirius to retire, he's a pretty decent player thou

Ah, very unfortunate. Always sad to see players retire, but I completely understand why.
This is all that needs to be said really.
Doubt any of the 3 players will read this, but I'd just like to thank them for their efforts.

Wow, really sad day. Whale was single handedly the player who I modelled my ZvP after and asd and Sirius were both very solid players, Sirius looking better recently while asd has definitely been on a decline for the past year or so. Really sad, best of luck to whatever they decide to pursue though!

Supreme is one of the coaches and "mom" of the team to phrase it best, Kong is an online practice partner as his parents wont let him move into the house, Aqou we picked up 3 months ago and is progressing well i'm told
