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. Must. Be. A. Damn. Joke.

I cannot believe, even considering the top notification bar.

True or not, today seems like a poor choice timing wise when releasing information like this. Most people probably won't take it seriously regardless of how many confirmed sources there are lol.

His contract run out on 31st.

If it really ran out on that day, then it makes perfect sense to announce it on April 1st.

lol? ever consider that sometimes people just get on in years and lose stamina, patience and passion for the game, just like in a physical sport? i love sc but i sure as hell wouldn't want to play it as an obligation 8+ hours a day for years and years.

Plus, people tend to forget he played Brood War for a good amount of time before switching to SC2 as well, even though he wasn't remotely as successful back then.

He wasn't successful in Brood War period. Military + 2 on 2 ruined all his chances of ever becoming a 1 v 1 star and he actually went on to coach for KT. He kinda made a comeback with SC2 and finally got the glory he never came close to in sc1. He was somewhat decent in like 2000/2001 when he won a lot of smaller tournaments.
A person that has already endured years and years of being mediocre sure as hell won't retire. His results are still somewhat ok, it's just bad when you compare it to winning code s without dropping a single map.

Don't know what he's going to do... I always hope he'll be back on track, but I guess that's up to him.
Thanks for your almot perfect GSL run, for the "best" GSL finals, for so many dreams and for creating the universe whole, Nestea.
