I guess retiring in Korea means going to play in WCS America these days
Silly Pigbaby

Pigbaby with the retire fake-out into AM Challenger qualification.
Poor Ryung that really sucks for him Good Challenger lineup, nonetheless. Should be some INSANE games!
|
There was no announcement of Pigbaby retiring in the first place. We simply assumed it to be the case after his release because Olimoley heard it somewhere and tweeted about it once. Clearly, whoever told her was mistaken.

Nooo....Balloon, so close! Hope he will still be able to play in some other tournaments wihile beeing in the US.
|
Wow Nony playing again in competetive tournaments, i like that.
In general, really not the highest skill-level in the player field.

The way it's shaping up I think the Korean count will increase by 1 or 2 in Premier season 2

Like everything else Blizzard does, when Blizzard sets out to do something, they make it work... like the Warhound!
I'm really looking forward to watching more Koreans face off in Europe at the WCS America Finals. That will really support the scene here in North America.

Gutted about Ryung not making it. If only those widow mines made better connects...

My boy Jaedong better win this season or he ain't going to Global Finals D:

Don't forget how the event is cast by a Brit and a Dutchman, with the interviews being done by another Brit, just for some #FREEDOM American overload. I can feel the grass roots in the States sprouting as we speak.
