He played some ladder earlier today and streamed it, so one would suggest he's not retiring?

He's streaming at the moment as well... He also tried to qualify for Numericable M-House Cup so it feel's like he's not going to retire.

The situation in Korea now is that SC2's position is different from what it was 12-18 months ago (as most of us have been aware already), but many Korean players are having a difficult time acknowledging this.

Another IM player who is semi well-known was leaving the team to shop around for different teams couple months ago, but it was never announced, so maybe he changed his mind after realizing the above.

Losira's been my favorite player for ages. This really... I dunno. I always try to get him to communicate with his fans more, and he's been really nice to me in tweets. That said I don't really think he's got the ability to market himself. If he goes the way of trying to find his own team he'll be another Genius, without a team for a long while.

That said, if he has something else lined up then this is possibly something that'll break him out of his top 16/8 funk of the past year.
My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

Wow, Losira leaving IM is definitely surprising. Wasn't Losira one of the original IM members since the beginning? Anyway, might have to do with the fact that he's been sort of turning into a 'faceless korean' these days since he's sort of vanished from the scene. Hope he finds a new team soon.

Hm... I've never heard of this tournament before. Seems to be gaining attention since Stephano is participating, Polt cancelled, and jaedong is attending. Invite the big names

A lot of trades happening currently, I wonder if this has something to do with the new Proleague formation and up coming season?

Why would someone leave IM right now?! Teams are disbanding left and right - mainly because they cannot afford their players - and KangHo leaves the team that probably has more money than any other korean team... except maybe SKT1.

Well... *had* more money than any other eSF team. I'm fairly sure that LG was their main cash sponsorship.

Well I was rather confused when IM and MVP moved over to Kespa, while at around that time Kespa announced the down sizing of teams to around 6 Players. Since IM and MVP were around 10ish players I was scared that players would have to leave IM and MVP. Kinda expected that some players won't be happy with new Kespa contracts and would leave as well.
Either way happy its more of a shuffle and not to much retiring. Though I hate it if teams are forced balanced.

Maybe he didn't want to play in proleague since former esf teams (now kespa) like mvp, im ,prime don't pay incentives for proleague wins ??

i think leaving IM is the right choice when you consider how little kangho has accomplished considering how much skill he possesses (kind of like seed).

sincerely hope he finds a team that will nurture him or give him more chances to be in the spotlight because i respect his level of play!
