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.

This doesn't seem like something that's just an April Fool's joke. It sounds like a retirement to me.

This has the potential to be real. Nestea still has his military service to do.

That said it's April 1st and 99.99999999% of the stuff labeled news on the internet is total bullshit so really who the hell knows. GEM doesn't have a website to try and verify the news and OP has no source.

So this gets the Plausible stamp from Mythbusters. Not Confirmed

is Ethan in on it or is it true?

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The thing is, even if it was an April fools, it isn't funny. It's like calling someone and telling him "your grandmother's dead !". It doesn't look like an April fools to me and I fear we're turning a page of Starcraft history.

NesTea leaving IM must be like losing an arm for the team.

Nothing to be afraid of! A legend past his prime stepping down is his choice to make and I'm sure he will continue to have an impact in Korean SC2. That is if he retires.

I wonder if Nestea would ever make the move towards coaching. I know that as things get more and more competitive, it will be hard (if not impossible) to regain the dominance he once had, but given his leadership with eSF and IM, it seems like he could be a good coach or team manager.

Really, I'd just hate to see him leave the SC2 scene.

Very sad news if he retires, he is no longer the dominant god he once was, but his legacy will never be forgotten

Grubby.Nestea ??

On the other hand it wouldn't be surprising to see him retire, he's done more than his fair share in the SC2 scene.

I was kind of under the impression that he kind of does that already on IM. He's their "captain" and one of the most experienced players they have who is not really competative anymore. The transitioin to full coach would probably be very simple for him.

He has already been a coach so it's not out of the question.

Guessing IM wanted to keep him on as a coach, but NesTea wanted to keep playing? Interesting. Guess NesTea knows he can always be a coach later, whether with IM or KT.


Sounds like this is the case, judging from the OP. Wouldn't be surprised to see him play a few months, maybe a year, on a foreign team, travelling and getting the famous-player-invite to ASUS ROG and the likes, before he returns to IM to coach full time.
