So far it looks like A is prevalent. | ||

This is solely due to the company failing. The real cataclysm here is many ex-bw players finishes paying their dues and leave sc2 altogether. I'd expect ten to fifteen, included very prolific ones | ||

But right now this isn't about me or Bisu. This really sucks for those players on STX that wanted to continue SC2 careers. But I guess this is why Mini was playing BW last night against larva. | ||

I understand a lot of people are alarmed by this news, but the only surprise is probably Jangbi and maybe hyvaa if you stretch it. I expect more big names to retire very soon, and am more surprised Stork hasn't yet. | ||
