And now you know why nobody picked him up

I wonder if any foreign team offers him a contract?
I doubt that JangBi, Bisu and ZerO would miss the opportunity to travel around the world and play in foreign events.
I think they see no future in Korea and there was no opportunity to contact foreign teams coz it would look incorrect to ask for something for such big players so they decided to retire.


He probably had some foreign teams that tried to offer him a contract, but no doubt ZerO declined them due to to low salary (as ZerO probably wanted a Woongjin Stars-like salary that he had) and the 2 KeSPA teams that still actively hire players in SC2 (SKT T1 and KT) already hired a few new players lately so they probably didn't want to spend a big salary either on him at which point ZerO probably just called it quits and retired.



UMMMM, his salary with Woongjin was modest at best. Not every KeSPA player was making a whole lot you know. >_< Whether it be low-balling or asking for a pay increase his position to negotiate was meh considering he played second fiddle to SK going back to BW. Really shitty position for him nonetheless. -__-


Zero was a top zerg player before I even heard of Soulkey. His drone micro, storm dodging, purple glasses, and adorable smile made him my favourite player.

Time to finally change my team icon

Can legacy of the void come out faster please? I see a trend here that could be stopped by just hurrying up the next expansion.

For a game with such a healthy community. The competitive scene is making me sad. But, I guess i's logical to quit when the money just isn't coming in.

I would have liked SC2 Tournaments to have been more Team orientated. I think this would have reduced the impact these retirements are having on the T_T.

Bye Zero...

Doubtful, BW players are going to retire regardless. It's better that people stop acting like it is the end of the world.

Yea, if I was in my early 20s and not seeing a fruitful future in gaming. I would probably retire before it was to late.

Or taking a pay cut for a job your not thrilled with. Which is a good reason to change jobs. That's what I would do.

Long, long time ago man. Well aware when ZerO was the go-to, but once SoulKey emerged he never really looked back. Still those guys weren't making a whole lot back then. It sucks when you don't have a lot of titles to show for your work but he did do fairly well. Just didn't really get paid for his efforts and Boooo on changing logos. I never changed mine from MBC for all these years even when Bisu and July got fucking traded. Heck, I'm even posting about Bisu being on the Telecom team for Sonic PL, but he was with SK last. Still BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Ha ha ha. I guess they have to make it fair. D:

Now Killer has someone of his caliber to contend with as a top-tier Z in BW. Hope his reflexes are still the same and he can actually take the fight to Sea.

I won't forget you Zero, my second favorite zerg during the bw era. I'll never forget the epic match you played against Flash on Icarus.

I really though zero gonna be awesome at sc2 to be honest. He is not a generic macro zerg with great mechanical and he is one of the more creative zergs around in bw.
