I mean he retired basically right after winning OSL last time.. so I guess the timing isn't as surprising

This is one of the saddest news in a long time.

Well wishes to EffOrt and his mother.

Sad to see Effort go, but it's for a good reason. Family comes first.

There are priorities and obligations in life
Never forget EffOrt and his hard work
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.
