TeamLiquid did receive a press release via email from GEM. This not an April Fool's joke on TeamLiquid's end.

Korean media outlets such as ThisIsGame, DailyEsports, PGR21.com, Fomos and Inven have reported the story as well.

Farethewell Nestea, some of the most surprising and innovative play at the start of SC2 and such a strong strategic grasp of the game that only MVP seemed to have better.

I hope whatever you do next you're equally successful!

A smart person would sign Nestea as player, rolemodel and coach. Personally I hope TB or Nazgul is that smart person.

Nestea gonna be a sick good coach.. But his player carreer has long gone now.. Not because of him, but also cause of the newcommers - SC2 has the sickest competition levels than ever before IMO

if they dont make the next sc2 expansion free, this game will soon become extinct. so many players are getting out of the scene for better pastures.

That literally came out of nowhere. I don't even know how you made that jump with what we have in this thread. The guy is a legend and one of the oldest progamers now.

I really thought this was an April fool's joke. Absolutely heart breaking. Nestea not playing well the last two or so years has been sad enough for me, but this? Devastating news.

Person who's been into progaming for what, 12-13 years(?) decides it might be best to not re-sign with his current team. This may or may not even entail retirement for all we know.

Clearly this means sc2 ded gaem.

I'm struggling to understand why lessQQmorePEWPEW is still allowed to post here when all he does is spew drivel like this.

I have to ask why announce this on April 1 of all days... ;d

It must be money related (IM wanting to pick up some heavy hitters for PL perhaps) unless Nestea is retiring.

Personally, I think there is a lot of fight left in him. But it must not be easy living in the shadow of your former glory.

NesTea is like the Queen. No "real" power but still a certain position in the Universe of SC2.

The difference is that NesTea is useful.

Financial quarter ends on the 31st or something like that which is why a bunch of contracts expire at the time.

Well if the announcement is true, we can always believe in the team that will give NesTea a glorious retirement.
