HwangSin announced through his facebook page that he will be retiring and this last GSTL match will be one of the last games he will be playing.

This is his message

저 게이머 그만두고 새 삶을 살기로 결정했습니다.여태까지 응원해주셨던 분들 다 감사하고 다른 게이머분들 꼭 성공하시길!

I'm not a professional gamer from now on. I just wanted to say that the GSTL was my retirement game for gamer life. There's no more chance to play game anymore. . I'm so sorry! AND Thank you all. GG
I decided to live a new life for gamers quit. as far as rooting is done, let me thank you and make sure those successes to other gamers you!


HwangSin was known as one of the strongest Protoss players in the scene with notable achievements such as placing top 7/8 in MLG, and making premier league of WCS NA.

He will be playing one last professional match in Quantic vs TL in ATC season 2 so please cheer for him as he will do best for the team!!!!

Please wish HwangSin well in whatever he does in the future.

Final message to HwangSin as a manager

+ Show Spoiler +
HwangSin, you were my team captain, and I know that we disagreed on decisions all the time, but your thoughts always had value in our final decisions. Whenever I was unsure of what to do, I asked you for your opinion, and you always helped me openly. With your departure, I feel that I will have a very hard time managing the team because I have lost our team captain. I am sad that you will be leaving your life as a progamer, but happy as well because you will be opening a new chapter in your life. I wish you the best in any endeavors you will have in the future.

Known of HwangSin for a long time now - didn't think it was possible for him to retire! Will be sad to see him go, but I appreciate the time and effort he put in and wish him the best going forward =)

Good luck HwangSin!
The multiplying villanies of man do swarm upon him.

I understand he's your player so it's easy for you to be bias but that's very far from the truth.

I've never been your fan, because you do stuff like this. You get upset (rightfully) when people make fun of your weight.

But then you come into someone's retirement thread and say stuff like this. Really?

Sorry if you think I was mistaken, or don't share the same views as me, but in Wings he was certainly one of the stronger protosses, and has some notable achievements.

Dang that sucks :/. He never really seemed to really take hold of HotS. Best of luck to him. Shouldn't this be in SC2 general? That's where retirement stuff generally is.
