With ZerO rumored to retire, huh. Though i do not think he will do it, since he needs more reasons to troll Soulkey.

It is a weak rumor and i for one think this is BS, but with JangBi retiring i will not wonder at all.

If it wasn't for Bisu, I would not be playing StarCraft right now. :/

We'll see when a legendary SC2 player retires. Until then, we can only be sure that legendary BW players return to BW when they retire from SC2

(no disrespect to Bisu, I know he is an icon and a legit esports legend)

I guess having SSL is pretty nice... Before when BW pros retired they went on to do their own thing whether it was involved with esports or now...now whenever an ex-SC2 pro retires he'll have SOSPA to go back to play competitively though not as demandingly

Nothing to do with being a "team game"; it just means SC2 isn't good enough to compete. This suggests that if S-class 0.01% percentile gods like Bisu and Jaedong can come over and end up being indistinguishable from most BW D/C-class players then SC2's skill ceiling is much too low and is effectively "killing" them. Even the players that do manage to do well in SC2 (Innovation, Taeja) end up very short lived which is highly unnatural. I can only imagine the turmoil Bisu experienced after his transition when SC2 Protoss is what he had to work with.

BW needed a successor to help the SC series (and RTS genre) compete with modern games, but I don't think SC2 fulfilled this role well enough. No SC2 is not dying, but it's not really a strong enough successor to retain the same position BW had (BW beat DoTA to my knowledge). It's kind of like tepid tea.

I am really surprised the 2 Dragons left are the oldest. They might be the oldest active Kespa players actually (Free and Stork.)

Last time I was following BW scene, Bisu was still in huge decline. So I doubt SC2 was the main contributor for his retirement. It's just one out of many.

he beat Flash and won PL for his team. Quite an epic game. If anything, I think he was doing pretty well so not sure when you stopped watching the BW scene then lol

Congrats, you just got obvious-trolled. Is it not completely transparent?

GGs Bisu. When it's time, it's time.

Weren't we just talking about Innovation's embarrassing decline like, a week before that? "Innovation is nowhere near the player he once was" blah blah blah? And then a player who had his own embarrassing decline beats him in a measly best of three and everyone gets excited?

Hyperbole killing e-sports.
