They'll more likely be coaches for SC2 or other esports, or some other kind of employee within the esports industry, since it is fairly easy to transition from player to employee when you have connections with the various esports entities from playing games at their events and meeting many of them in person. | ||

I don't know much about Afreeca, so forgive my ignorance, but as far as I know (which isn't very far) it's just donations. Donations isn't very sustainable longterm. But if you can tell me those are from ads, then that's awesome | ||

I dunno afreeca has been providing a living for ex pros and some semi pros for years now, and money is start to go back into the bw tourney scene. Frankly I think they'll make a better living in bw than they would going to another Korean sc2 team. | ||

 ZerO, hyvaa,  Aria. I can understand YoungJoo's decision but others show that there are big problems in Korean which remain unsolved and the most scared part is that there are so little done to solve these problems... 1 GSL is just not enough, and these eSF - KeSPA makes the situation even worse As we can see SSanaEE forfeited his WCS AM slot and will try to qualify for GSL if he fails he retires and the only reason is that he just has nothing to do in Korea if he fails to qualify, and there are a lot of players who will do the same. | ||

Head Coach Kim Min Gi stated that the original goal of SouL was to give opportunities to players who were unable to find teams after STX dropped their sponsorship of STX SouL. Saying that all the SouL players had either been able to find new teams or decided to retire, Head Coach Kim declared SouL to have fulfilled its purpose. Hyvaa and Youngjoo are said to be looking for "new work," although the article is ambiguous as to whether they are retiring from pro-gaming or not. source: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=438779 What about SSanaEE??? | ||
