Blink is so stupid strong it's disgusting just as Hero said. Even pro ForGG has a dedicated SC2 tag as "NERFPROTOSS". If I lost 100,000 because of blink all ins I would flip out. Taeja is not saying he retires because of Protoss imbalance issues but it's quite obvious, he is just manner so he just doesn't. If Polt the best TvP'r in the world can't get it done, how can David Kim expect all other Terrans to find a solution against these Protoss all-ins? Anyone else see a chronic problem?

To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

No need to retire, Taeja.

Your wrists will get better with the proper medical attention made possible by your Team.

That is not likely to happen. There is no miracle cure. The only long term solution is to drastically reduce playtime. His wrists will always give him trouble as long as he is a pro gamer. Making a few more esports dollars and then getting out is definitely the best option for him.

Meh, we've seen time and time again that even the players themselves saying retirements via twitter turn out to not always be true.

After every match you can see that he is in physical distress grabbing his wrist every time. He is a great player but this is the type of thing that should be thought over between himself, team and family. Hope it works out whichever path he chooses. Goodluck.

Can't really take this retirement post seriously as it came after a disheartening loss.. So being demoralized is obviously expected. He was more than likely just frustrated and ranting a bit out of negative emotions coming from the loss. People here need to relax and realize the circumstances that this twitter post came after.

I've lost count of how many ladder games I've played where I've had a frustrating loss and felt like calling it quits after, lol.

Whoever said this was an "emo tweet" just coming after a loss on page 7'ish seems to be on the right track.

Not holding out as a medical expert, but if the condition is a degenerative one, it is best for him to retire sooner than later before the condition gets out of control...at least in major sports a career can be had well into the 30s, an opportunity not available to Taeja.

I don't believe this is an "emo tweet" considering that there were winds about retiring late last year.

Did it occur to anybody that maybe it wasn't just the blink all-in that Taeja was really upset about but also because of the fact that IEM decided to have it a winner take all tournament?. If the prize money was shared I doubt we would be seeing that tweet from Taeja the same day he takes home some prize money. I can't think of a single professional tournament of any sort which does not reward 2nd or 3rd place finishes, it's mind boggling. Especially during these hard times, with so many players retiring and so many teams shutting down, it would have been the smart decision to have the money split. Just imagine if we had an actual foreigner who made an incredible never to forget run all the way to the grand finals only to win nothing in the end, how would the community have reacted then? I don't think blink all-in's were the only issue here.

Do you really believe that a seasoned pro-gamer like Taeja would retire cause of one single daft tournament?

No I don't think it was just because of this single tournament that he decided to retire, he's obviously had retirement on his mind for awhile now we've all known that, but the point I am trying to make is that I do believe if he did take home some prize money we would not be seeing that tweet this early. The fact that he got nothing, except a pat on the back, obviously made the decision to post that tweet much easier.

If Starcraft 2 was like a 1v1 version of basketball, the Protoss player would be the tall guy, and the Terran would be the short guy.

The Terran can win if he put on some sick moves and plays a lot better, but the Protoss player will always have an advantage.
