KaL (GooJila) has decided to retire “I want to rest for the time being.”

[image loading]

KaL, who after finishing his military service continued his progaming career by joining Prime, has regrettably pronounced his retirement.

With the disbanding of Airforce ACE and STX Soul, KaL had no team to go back to. Even while doing his service, KaL had not lost his passion for progaming. As soon as he was discharged, he joined Prime right away and fulfilled that passion.

However, the long period in which he was away from progaming (even with his time in Airforce ACE) held him back. Despite his best efforts, his game sense didn’t seem like it was returning and he eventually made the decision to retire.

When KaL joined Prime he had said, “If I feel like I am unable to grow into a 1 win card for my team I will retire.” He practiced rigorously in Round 1 but he felt like he had reached his limit and told Coach Park about his intentions to retire.

KaL plans to take a break after retirement. He had been unable to rest after he was discharged [having joined Prime right away]. He plans to go to on a vacation and do things he had been unable to do previously and clear his mind a bit.

Prime’s Coach Park states “His passion for progaming was strong but it seems his time away was too hard to overcome,” and “I’m thankful for the effort KaL put in for Prime.”

oh wow, that's quite the news. Thanks for translating! I think this should be in the SCII section as well (or community news section) since he played quite a bit of SCII PL. Sad for SCII fans but may be good news for BW ones if he joins SOSPA so I guess some win, some lose lol. Best of luck to him in whatever he does next!

He actually managed to do quite well at the start in proleague, beating HerO and Soulkey right after coming back from service.

Good luck with whatever he chooses to do. It would be great to see a few Afrecca games but it sounds like that's not high on his priorities right now.
