You'll be missed

Such a shame. He could have really been the next big protoss in bw. I remember him taking JD to game 5 in the ro8 (or ro4) in some MSL.... GREAT multitasking

Hopefully we'll get to see him play more BW soon. In any case, good luck Snow! I liked seeing your games.
May the BeSt man win.

Sucks, but the turnover in e-sports is huge. Your peak doesn't last long and for every Snow that retires, you'll have a promising rookie like Bunny to take his place. Outside of the outliers like Flash, Fantasy, etc., the cycle will continue on and on, old players like Calm retiring and going into a coaching role, and new players taking over for the people who left their spot behind. Even if guys like Hoejja and Best aren't really doing much, if they do retire, I'm sure they'd just become apart of the coaching staff of their team due to their longevity and leadership.

Makes me sad to see all these BW people retiring. =/

I still remember that ace game where he crushed Flash and started his ace game losing streak. Gave me nightmares.

Why am I always surprised you are a kt fan? Such a shame. You had so much potential as a skt fan. The choice is always yours.

Will always remember CJ Snow for his Bo5 with Jaedong and because of that I think it such a shame that professional bw wasn't maintain in korea despite the change for sc2 . Anyway good hunting snow and hope you will be successful in life in your studies and working career .
BW/KT Forever R.I.P KT.Violet dearly missed ..

It wasn't that bad of a streak.
Flash fans just had it too good for too long so that even 2-3 losses looked bad .
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

What you say is natural but some of retirements lately were simply based on game transitioning not on natural flow you described . Some players played great BW 2 weeks before their transition to SC2, after the transition they are 'noobs', its re-specialization problem they are facing right now. Its kind of sad to see players from Tving RO4 play mediocre SC2 for their potential (zero, Jangbi, Fanta).

This is highly annoying as a fan of such players, you loved them for their games in other game, and now you have to see them struggle, what conclusion such fun has to make? That they are not as good in adaptation as others?

The same happened in CS GO, arguably the most dominant teams in latest years gets picked apart like noobs by guys they used to beat. "They adapted better".

edit: Terrible mistakes cleared

Snow vs Jaedong in ABC MSL was the best BW series in recent history. You will be missed.
