EPTAnd I don't think GSTL is a big enough deal in Korea yet where you can consider that 'substantial' success I guess.

Reasonable these FXO trainees (more or less) are now looking challenge elsewhere, with KeSpa players taking up a lot of space, there simply isnt much left for players that already didnt make their breakthrough before KeSpa switched, and now would find it even much harder.. | ||

I can't blame them, they tried their best and with all the Kespa players, it is hard for this caliber of player to make a break through. It sounds harsher than I mean it, but even if they stayed they probably would never qualify for a tournament or make their break through  Keep fighting FXO, you developed a lot of talent and I'm sure there is more to come!!! | ||

HotS is different, but it's not different enough that it's going to make them on par with the best of the best, or push them through the qualifiers. If anything, depending on how Gom handles it, it could make qualifiers harder. So this is a perfectly fine time to call it quits. | ||

Odd to see three players retire at the exact same time when the team is still together though. Kind of makes it seem like this was more of a forced retirement so that FXO can clean house so to speak, maybe FXO wants to take a chance on some new players. | ||

User was warned for this post these warnings and stuff are getting a bit ridiculous... i wish these guys good luck with whatever they'll be doing now. i'm kinda sad especially about asd, who always looked pretty good when i've seen him play. and i guess i'm biased towards terran in general. | ||

And even then, who cares if LoL has more viewers at a specific time when you decided to click on the directory? The NFL always gets more viewers per game than MLB or NBA. Lets not even talk about golf and tennis. The whole, "SC2 is dying because the number next to LoL is larger" argument is so dumb it hurts my head. Exactly this, and people have to remember that over the past year or so there's been a steady influx of LoL streamers coming over from Own3d. LoL has nearly always been more popular than SC2, but when both games were new almost every LoL streamer was on own3d and almost every SC2 streamer was on twitch. People are only freaking out now that there's a direct way to compare the two. Back on the main topic, a lot of people are asking why they retired as they could get a fresh start in HotS. To put things in perspective, there will also be a large talent pool coming into HotS with a fresh start, a talent pool that didn't get to play WoL from release and was always a little bit behind. The people retiring don't want to play the rat race of getting to the top of the pack again with everyone on a nearly level playing field. | ||

I really hope HotS revitalises things and that after kespa transition is fully integrated (if it integrates) that things can stabilize and grow. Expect to see more of the lower-level pros to leave tbh. With all the Kespa players coming about it's not really worth it to keep playing when you're not the top level on your esf team. Lower-tier pros are going to keep retiring or switching games because it's just not worth the amount of work. | ||
