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


I think if someone is trying to do a carreer in SC2 it's ok to use the word "retire" even if they don't have any achievements.

You'd be wrong. Welmu, Mana etc etc



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




Liquid Jinro made it through, and Idra did i think, (not sure).

Jinro and IdrA made it through on points in the 3 open GSL's, not the Code A qualifiers.

Those were GSL Opens. No one has made it once Code A was created and Yugioh was crowned king.

guys, this isn't the place to discuss this. Go start a blog if you feel like it.

rare made a living out of being a SC2 player and he had a contract. He s now leaving the scene and therefore this thread is totally valid (of course you can argue that I have CJ as my fav team, but I hope you ll understand it is unrelated).

"enough skill" here means "were able to go to foreign tournaments that many Koreans could not go to and therefore got their charity seeds without going through the qualifiers"

Believe me it takes more "skill" to have gotten through the qualifiers then to have gotten one of those seeds from MLG or whatever

Of course best of luck to rare in the future.

I think stephano after being eliminated in Ro32 managed to qualify back for next season, but declined and went back to europe.

Coming from ro32 he didn't go through the whole code A so I guess it doesn't really count?

And all of this was before Kespa took over, nowadays foreigners struggle to get to ro16 in AM/EU premier, no way one would go to ro32 code S...

Anyway, I don't see why people insult a guy they don't know, he was in CJ entus, he defeated DRG 2-0 in june, so he was a decent player, maybe not good enough to earn money, thus the retirement. No need to bash him for this.

If you don't care about the news then just don't answer the thread.

Anyway good luck to rare in whatever his life will be made of from now on
Dear INno and all the former STX boys.

And why would they? Easier money in Homestory cup etc etc.

Anyway, off-topic no?

Back in the day lots of foreigners did try. Now that playing in GSL locks you out of WCS AM/EU it's pointless.

Yes, he had a career. See that shirt with a CJ logo? Heard of Kespa? Playing profesionally for a Kespa team is a grand achievment and to say anything else (ie what you said) is misguided insulting.

Hopefully this opens up a spot for CJ to steal a player from SKT next year

This means every CJ player minus GuMi is in code A. And GuMi is GuMi so it's okay. Wow!
I root for CJ because their fb posts are hilarious
