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.
his game against Trap in PL finals was pretty amazing to watch but doesn't help that he lost and only just made code A qualifiers again.

Siiiiiigh, all my favorite BW pros are retiring. Only Stork remains. Sad days. </3

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  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: There was literally never a point in bw where SK was better than zero...I mean zero left broodwar with a semi final osl run for crying out loud. SK was twiddling his thumbs at the time.

Too many koreans leftover from BW. With no really impressive achievements it's only logical players are retiring. The BW-turned-SC2 scene was way too big to support such a large playerbase.
These retirements are really nothing strange, the scene's size is only normalizing. And there's still alot of players left.
Good luck to ZerO nonetheless! I liked his play in Proleague.

ZerO is a monster. Can't wait to see him destroy SSL/Sonic Proleague.

ah yes I need more great zergs on afreeca ^^ come home zero, everyone's waiting <3

Free is famous in Korea for his management during actual battles, while his decision making and macro might not be the best he usually shines during engagements, hence the name. I think alot of that came from the 6 dragons era though.

Shame always liked him and woongjin in general.
Hope he plays bw
|
I said "Oh FUCK." when I saw this appear, but then it was what I was expecting.
So long as he plays and streams BW like others and then competes in the different tournaments like SOSPA, it is probably for the best given that he hasn't stayed on Woongjin Stars' SC2 team.
I've loved by.hero's stream recently (not that he ever went into SC2  ) and ZerO is one of those I would most like to see play.

At the end of Brood War they were separated in the Elo rankings by a whopping three points. You all need to stop mincing words.

Good news- more Bw incoming I hope.
|
His mechanics looked pretty strong in SC2. His creep spread looked good back when I saw his games in the WoL part of Proleague. Disappointing that he never really achieved Soulkey's level of success despite being a solid Zerg on Woongjin, but I hope to see him stream some BW on Afreeca now.

lol i think its God of Battles in korean. korean casters always say '전투하면 윤용태죠' in english, 'When it comes to fight (or battle), its free' They always praise him for good fights and even when he was behind, they believed his good battles will bring come back for him to actually win the game.
anyways, zero, welcome to SRT till you go to army
