really? lol poor poor foreigners.



INNoVation said he is not going to other region.

I believe everyone here means foreign tournaments like MLG (if there will be one) or DreamHack (or even IEM, lol).



I see. Anyway, the proleague will not be held in a close future so KeSPA gamers can join as well...

People should realize that this has nothing to do with the state of sc2 popularity on the contrary WCS season 2 finals was quite a huge success. This is solely due to the company failing.

Quick, place BisuDagger on suicide watch.

Actually BisuDagger must be happiest man ever: Bisu may end up actually playing in SSL!

Exactly, what are these guys smoking? ANY chance for Bisu to play Sc1 again is a blessing to me.

To retire from sc2 I guess, makes sense.

Edit: Tweet is from today.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Players retiring on other hand means that A. they do not like the game. B. have some serious RL reasons to stop playing it. So far it looks like A is prevalent.

The easy way to get more sponsors is to recruit an LoL team. Worked for IM that's how they got LG.

Or C. There aren't enough tournaments/infrastructure to support double the amount of players than there were before the kespa switch

Well, in Inno's case he did like the game (compared to BW, obv) it seems.

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

AH ty, on my phone it only showed the 13. This is indeed a crazy day. 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.

So the jist of this article is LG-IM could join proleague in place of STX Soul and the STX team will join up with NHSH to add another team to GSTL? Sounds good to me

The reasons are likely intertwined; with contracts being reworked it isn't unlikely that a lot of salaries dropped (especially for big name, relatively little result players) which makes playing the game not worth it anymore if you don't like it all that much in the first place.

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.
