It's so easy to call out retirement after a loss like that. Plus he says that he's still enjoying the game. | ||

It means a player who we've enjoyed watching all this time is gone. I think the word is also acceptable to use when going from full time pro to part time. Problem is gamers are the number 1 abusers of this word. They usually rage on twitter after a lose and now they're "retired." In this case, it's a maybe so no need for a thread IMO. | ||

There are way more progamers than what the scene can actually support. The thing is that the majority come back after a short period of time as if nothing has happened. They say they're retired and then keep showing up in qualifiers, hoping to make it into a big tournament to have a reason to come back. I mean at this point; I almost feel like "I'm retiring" is a way for a player to fool himself into playing without pressure for a while, rediscovering the passion for the game and then returning to being a pro. | ||
