I had the immense privilege and pleasure of finally travelling to Korea (this summer) to see Progaming, and meet my favourite player FanTaSy. On his Facebook he just shared a DES interview which, if Google Translate speaks truthfully, indicates his plans to retire in 2015:


"연습 경기나 래더에서는 승률이 괜찮거든요. 그런데 방송 경기만 치르면 백짓장이 되어 버려요. 문제가 뭔가 곰곰이 되짚어봤는데 무대 공포증 비슷한 것이 생긴 것 같아요. 그래서 SK텔레콤을 떠나기로 결정했죠."

정명훈은 2015년에 대비한 연봉 협상 자리에서 팀을 나가겠다고 말했다. 개인 성적이 좋지는 않았지만 팀이 프로리그 정규 시즌 1위에 준우승을 차지했으면 연봉 상승 요인은 충분히 있다. 주장으로서 기회를 동료들에게 돌린 것도 팀이 알고 있다. 정명훈은 과감하게 팀을 떠났다. 뛸 곳이 필요하다는 생각이 돈보다 더 중요하다고 생각했기 때문이다.


+ Show Spoiler [Google Translate] +
"In practice this game, I'm fine ladder Win, but Lose baekjit chapter is only broadcast chireumyeon game I think I've seen similar problems caused to stage fright reflect revisit something, so I decided to leave the SK Telecom."

Said he would leave the team in 2015 against salary negotiations
Jeong, Myoung - Hoon is located. If you take up the runners-up, but the individual scores on the Pro League regular season is a good team, one factor is enough salary rises. Also as an opportunity to turn his fellow team captain know. Jeong, Myoung - Hoon has left the team drastically. It is because I think it is more important than the money that you need a place to play.



I've always loved TL, because without it, all the joys and intricacies of Korean Progaming would have remained untranslated, and I would never have come to enjoy them as people and players, rather than nameless faces.

Jung Myung Hoon Hwaiting!

Where does it indicate that he's going to retire in 2015? All it seems to say is that he's leaving SKT.

I gotta agree, it said he'll leave but no where does it say he'll retire if it I would like it if he plays in LoveTV and SSL.

It's already known that he is leaving SKT. He doesn't state that he's retiring. Article also states that the team is aware of the sacrifice he made as a team captain since his leaving opens up more doors for them salary wise.

He said if google translate speaks truthfully so I guess in this case google wasn't truthful?

The Google translate quote he posts there says nothing about him retiring.
