One of them is Boxer, SKT said he stepped down for health reasons and we all know the only cure is more BW.

Nah, Boxer may play BW on the side, but he will probably return as terran coach... if only SKT had more than 2 relevant terrans :D

I'm not sure he will return actually. Health reasons can be another way for him to step down while his rep stays intact seeing as how he majorly contributed to SKT's rise.
This news doesn't surprise me tbh. I haven't seen mind play a single game in SCII(supposedly he played 4 and lost them all lol) and BW is the game that made him want to be a programer. Best of luck to him!

So much this.

Insert Proleague "Mind mind mind" joke here.
Gl in SOSPA Mind!
|
SOSPA is so hype these day.

Actually, jookTo has been with clarity gaming for a while, and has since retired.

Good luck, Mind. You beat Bisu in the MSL finals, maybe you can upstage him in SOSPA too. 
|
Really exciting news, i cant wait to see him play in SOSPA .
|
Mind never did anything in sc2, wouldn't be surprised.
|
I think that when next Proleague season's rosters are announced, we'll find out that a lot more pros have retired under the radar.
|
Bisu's Arch-nemesis 
|
I think this has been said a thousand times on TL, but "forcing" BW pros to play another game, is like telling professional football players to play handball. If they don't enjoy SC2 it's probably the best thing to do, especially with the strict practice hours as a kespa player.
|
Mind was not very good in sc2 anyways.
Never won in proleague and poor performances at WCS qualifiers...
GL to him in the future,looks like sc2 wasn't his game

It's been said way too many times. Retirements do happen in the offseason and Mind's one isn't remotely surprising. He's old and hasn't performed well at either game in a long time. He wouldn't have lasted much longer in BW either and will probably do military service soon anyway. Considering how evenly the retirements are spread between the proleague teams (I expect KT to lose 2 more - maybe Hoejja + BarrackS). it also looks like a downsizing of rosters and salaries heading into next season with the least successful/passionate/oldest volunteering to leave.

What's strange is that even though Mind beat him 3-1 in the MSL finals, Bisu is 6-0 other than that with wins in OSL and Proleague. Bisu got his revenge. But now it's Mind's time to turn the table. Please play on Afreeca / SOSPA! Mind fighting!
