I guess we know have official reasoning as to why he has been absent from Proleague as well as the Code A qualifier last week.

Pulling a pigbaby perhaps?

CJ falling apart after Maru crushed their play-off hopes.
Abandon ship! 
|
awww too bad!
Good luck with whatever he ll be doing!
CJ hwaiting!
|
I rarely ever saw that guy play.
Good luck!
|
Looks like an older version of Rain
|
Is it just me or is it becoming less rare that someone off his calibre would retire!

dosent "retire" imply a career in that field?
I feel like 1/2 of the retirements announced within 2014 are on a level with EU Master rank 76 saying he is now retiring

You're welcome to show me an EU player good enough to make CJ's Proleague line-up, or indeed any EU player good enough to make Code A. Hint: there are none. rare is most likely better than the vast majority of EU players, and equating him with a "EU Master rank 76" player is insulting.

I somewhat agree with both statements...
A lot of ppl retiring are retiring in the same way we "retire" at the end of the day. We stop being awake and go to sleep by retiring, or at the end of our lives, we retire our bodies.
But they aren't retiring in a professional sense, which is the way we were used to hearing it initially.
rare is another case though. He is retiring in a professional sense. He's not a guy who's going to stop playing for fun. He might even keep playing SC2 consistantly for another few years, but he's not going to do it as a career anymore.
That's the difference, is that a lot of ppl, even if they were trying really hard, didn't actually DO sc2.... Not as a career anyways...
They played the game to have fun, maybe even on a competitive level, but it wasn't their JOB.
For rare it was.
So both statements are pretty accurate, yet misled.
I think that's a valid argument though. People need to not say they are "retiring" from something they didn't actually have a career in. It's cool to tell the community that you're not going to be active in the game you play, but it's on a different level than someone quitting their job..
GL to rare! Hope he accomplishes great things, even if he comes out of retirement and back into SC2!

rofl, i'd wager my life savings that a person of european nationality would not be able to qualify through the korean code a qualifiers in this modern era.
but this is a completely moot point and irrelevant to the discussion this topic was created for.

He's certainly not one of the more famous names in the community, but the fact that he was on a Korean pro-team should mean something to you and does mean something in the professional scene.
Best of luck to rare in the future!

You are aware of the fact that no foreigner in the history of ever has made it through the Code A qualifiers?

Mana... And beyond that it doesn't matter who "might be capable" unless they do it.

didn't HuK and naniwa also get throught code A quals?
|
no they got a foreigner seed directly into the competition
also if you look at the list of top korean players who fail to qualify for code A you understand
