Isn't it awesome that the Starcraft scene and community are well developed enough that when a player retires from SC2 there's still a very popular and lively Broodwar competitive scene to go back to. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside. <3 Korean competitive Broodwar might now be closer to semi-professional than truly professional (at least relative to the way it used to be) but the rate at which some of the new Broodwar tournaments seem to be growing despite the lack of support from most of the big E-sports related companies in Korea (Blizzard, GOM, OGN, KeSPA) makes me think that one day, televised professional Broodwar might rise again from the ashes. Its probably still a ways off because they have lost a lot of the infrastructure and money they had built up over the years, but who knows? The future is full of possibilities and I have this strange feeling that I can't shake that we haven't yet seen the last of large scale, television broadcasted, professional Broodwar in Korea. A man can hope right!?

I'm sad for (Z)TRUE but y'all not get the point?

why should kespa pay another season of PL for a team & a game nobody wants to have in korea?

a few players will get free agents soon and thats it...it's an open secret via korean netizens...

In today's code A winner interview, he was wearing Green Wings uniform, and talking about hopes for the team, nothing remotely related to retirement.

I think he will not retire, there is no official news on Korean media anyway, only Major's tweet. Probably the Jin Air sponsorship saved him.

This could also be a complication of humor, stemming from the different cultures. Maybe Major tweet was just a joke/rib and True, Instead of actually be the truth itself.

Maybe everyone told Major they were retiring/leaving so he'd feel better about being cut.
