Well in my opinion it's anything but unexpected. Haven't seen anything in ages from this guy, no streaming, no appearances in tournament play etc. Sad nonetheless of course. | ||

JYP has been struggling to keep SC2 at the top of his priority list. Dropping out of WCS NA was a huge blow to his motivation/desire to continue to be a progamer afaik. Following that loss he was "afk" for nearly a month missing clan wars and was uncreachable via online communication. He took that loss really hard  It's super hard to be a progamer in korea atm with there being more talented players and fewer teams/leagues etc that are willing to pay said progamers for their talents. JYP has been with us for a long time and he is a fucking awesome human being. Always friendly and complementary, willing to practice at any time and in his day was a helluva protoss. JYP will be missed <3 PS! As an aside.. one cool story about JYP and how he joined EG: Puma and JYP were/are good friends and when Puma knew he would face MC in the finals of NASL he practiced as much as he could for this matchup as he knew those finals would change his life. Naturely at a US based tourney like this he didn't have weeks or even days to practice he had THAT night so he reached out in need of a friend/progamer to help him practice TvP and as the hours were horrible for his korean brethren most said no due to the fact that they'd have to play from something like 5am - 10am or whatever. Only JYP said yes staying up and playing at horrible hours for as long as Puma needed to help his friend win the NASL. After that Puma asked that JYP join the otherwise all non korean lineup of EG. Management fell in love with a guy that had such a great work ethic and dedication to his fellow teammate(s) so the choice was easy! Love ya JYP <3 | ||

It just means that EG is turning into what it originally was, a premier foreign team. And I am okay with that. | ||

I imagine that he was no longer the best fit, as he was hesitant to leave Korea for international success (and even when he did, he didn't breakout in flying colors).

Got lots of respect for JYP for switching WCS regions from America to Korea and making Code A. | ||

HuK still seems pretty solid. Not incredible like he once was, but still good. iNcontroL is an excellent caster, host, and promoter. Jaedong is Jaedong. Suppy needs to pick it up. ThorZaIN, where the hell is he? Xenocider needs yo pick it up. I suppose all of these are opinionated, but JYP has been quiet also, and they dropped their other good players before this. Is EG going to move to employing more casters and hosts rather than having an awesome player base? Edit: Not to be rude, just thinking out loud I suppose. | ||
