The top line of the op is confusing at the moment. Should obviously be that Golden confirmed on his stream that Sound is retiring. Change "he" to "Sound" please, at the moment the sentance is saying that Golden is retiring.

Golden just confirmed that he have indeed retired from professional SC2 on his stream.

Personally I find it a bit strange, considering he did get alot of exposure at the Red Bull training grounds back in July where he placed 2nd, loosing 2-4 to Golden in the finals.

Best of luck in the future to Sound!

Edit;
I asked Golden if he could say anything about why Sound retired, School? Work? Lost motivation? Military? Kicked from the team? He replied "I don't know because I were home when he retired"



So its Sound or Golden Oo

This is kind of a shocker considering how well he was doing for startale at the beginning of the expansion... sorry to see a great player like Sound go

Family issues probably went like this.

Parents - You should quit pro gaming, you're not really earning enough to make it worth it.

Sound - But, I'm in WCS AM challenger at the moment with a chance to go to premier!

Parents - Career earnings - $5,750

Sound - Ok mom and dad, you're right.

In my defense.. The text were changed by Waxangel(I guess) since my English is pretty bad. I had written Sound there, but I guess he changed it to the better

Never heard of him. Maybe I'm just deaf to team leagues. :\

Hopefully the family issue isn't too bad, sucks to have your life derailed because of family health emergency or financial issues - but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Home Story Cup is not a team league though. :S

EDIT: Actually it looks like the OP didn't even include that result... what a shame. Almost as much of a shame as people forgetting about Sound. :/

You're right, in Korea it's actually a lot worse. More along the lines of "I will disown you and/or beat you upon sight if you return home" happened to two people in the ProS house, so they never went home. One is currently in the army, the other sleeps around friends homes avoiding going home as he never became a pro-gamer. You have no idea how badly parents view pro-gamers who are not big before telling their parents. As usually kids keep it a secret until they do something big and/or get invited to a pro-team. Those who tell their parents they're doing it before hand usually are under strict time-limits or face serious neglect.
Patience is a small price to pay for perfection.

I see where you're coming from but I don't see how that relates to Sound who is (or was, I guess) on one of the bigger and more stable Korean pro teams, in Star Tale. Not to mention he's had better results than most Kespa and eSF B-teamers.

So yeah it's a bit presumptuous to claim that's what "family issues" means in this case.

Well, I should hope it is this, considering it could be so much worse (e.g. Family illness/death).
