All right, fine, I'll be the first to say it.

I'll miss RorO. He was like the Zerg Classic. Fun to root against and had a decent game in him.

Oh dang, when did BrAvO join Samsung Khan? Last I heard, he left SKT1. Hopefully he'll be a decent replacement for Reality.

And I hope we will still see Stork play. He was improving.

are assuming in the midst of looking for a foreign team reality and turn are gonna compete in LSL3? I'm excited for that prospect but also find it somewhat unlikely.

I think I can see why KeSPA is being anal with the stupid "free agent" rule. So many KeSPA players leaving for foreign teams

BUT YAY! RorO is GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I somehow doubt the veracity of this. KeSPA players who are practically unknown in the foreign scene like TurN and barely known ones like Reality can't possibly think they have a good shot of signing a "real" contract with a foreign team (where they'll fly them to events and stuff). Maybe three years ago when it was very rare for a Korean to leave Korea to play abroad, but not right now. I feel like "they're looking for a foreign team" is these days just code for "we didn't re-sign them and no other KeSPA team wants them" except for big stars like Rain and PartinG.

Samsung's definitely weaker without RorO but if Dear plays well they should still contend for playoffs.

That's a shame, I always thought Roro had potential in him to achieve even more and was somehow still underrated(!)

Roro finished this last Proleague as the zerg with the highest winning ratio and 3rd highest overall (with >10 games played), barely behind only Rain and sOs.

Dear, Solar and Stork make three decent players. (if Dear gets in some kind of form..).

Samsung gonna struggle without RorO. When did they pick up BravO? I assumed he was retiring.

RorO has not been releveant to anything high level starcraft since like forever. Solar emerged as the new generation Zerg for Khan and does a good, some might say even better job than RorO.

The samsung lineup lost depth, but not somebody who is irreplaceable.

RorO was easily their best player in PL last year. Solar has surpassed him now but RorO would have most likely been their second strongest PL player still. Not really just a loss of depth i would say.(PL wise)

Looking for foreign teams? There are so many ppl looking for them right now. Also, when it came to sending players to outside jobs (ie events outside Korea) Samsung was probably the best Korean team in that regard :S

Sad about Reality leaving RorO retiring was to be expected, he has been a ghost since last season of PL ended. At least they got Bravo who is probably about as good as Reality.

Also does them announcing their SPL roster completely outrule the possibility of picking up other players? Not too familiar in the terminology

Stork is actually still pretty passionate. He even went to BlizzCon, just because.

And this is just Samsung's roster right now. You don't have to declare your SPL roster until a few weeks before preseason starts.

I really hoped for RorO to wake up from his slump, but it seems that he couldn't get back on track, sad he was very solid Zerg. :/

About the others, well since nobody else is retiring, I think that they will find good teams soon.

Hey guys, re-read the Stork/Flash interview, Stork was explaining how it was wierd for him to not only be the oldest but also to have teh second oldest in the team being 2+ years younger than him.

This change is good, it's much better than simply retiring, and I'm pretty sure he'll be an excellent coach cause he seems to have human relationship skills to get the better of his players.

Death throes of SC2 for me at least, Roro leaving is so sad, stork may as well be announcing his intention to retire in a year, no fantasy playing.

Man what is even the point.

JEEZUZZZ! God damned Kespa jail!
Seriously, when everyone is trying to save this game by growing the scene, encouraging new teams in PL, encouraging new tournaments, encouraging korean players to go abroad and expand their careers, Kespa seems to be doing everything it can to keep its dictatorship alive inside its own 8x10 prison cell.
Listen to negativeedge, SC is NOT the dominant esport anymore, it is struggling to stay afloat! If you put stuff like this on the map it only helps people retire faster or switch faster to LoL/Dota2!
And the icing on the cake is Rain and fantasy, having played more than 5 years at that team and STILL tied to that team because they were not free agents before? That is some serious bull, especially since most players in KR were moving through direct team transfers, not leaving team as free agent then joining another team.
Kespa needs to seriously get a reality check........they are stopping this game from growing.....
Also 5 years, when the full life of a progamer at the top (proleague) level can sometimes be below that? utter nonsense

That's... very sad.

I am very afraid for the future of the Kespa teams, if they keep on hemorrhaging good players like this

I remember, when Kespa arrived, all the Esf players went overseas. Looks like it didn't take long for Kespa players to do the same

Dude... I agree on that 5 years requirement, it's stupid, but saying that Kespa is stopping Starcraft 2 from growing is a bit ( a lot ) exaggerated, i feel like they have been doing a lot for SC2 in the past couple months.

Damn, anyone retiring is usually sad but especially a former GSL champion, good luck to RorO. Samsung's roster is still strong though and has potential if Solar and Armani keep improving. Also if Dear returns to even half of his championship winning form then its good enough for PL.
Thank goodness Stork hasn't retired from playing, we still need him

That's the problem there is no little domination by the koreans. They mostly crush everyone, so it's not wealthy for the game cause its killing diversity.
But koreans are the only ones (with fews foreigners) who can step up the game so often, having incredible games to watch and learn.

Shame about RorO despite how much TL isn't much of a fan of him it is a blow to the scene and two more players leaving adds to the wound. Not certain where Reality and TurN will find foreign teams they aren't exactly overflowing with money lately and I suspect they may switch to BW instead. Good to see Stork is still in it at least.

What a shame, i wanted to build my team around RorO and sOs again, salt.

Dammit, Samsung, now you have only Solar, Dear and Stork who is half-coach, that's kinda bad. Well, there is Hurricane, but no second Zerg, 3 mid-tier Protosses and no Terran sucks.
Free playoffs for CJ Entus now.

RorO retires? But who will I put on my FPL anti-team now?

Looking at this line-up, Samsung are really weak right now. Not Prime weak but weak nonetheless. CJ, KT and JAGW now all have a free pass to the play-offs.
Flying on the Jin Air hype plane. Lets go Maru, Rogue, sOs and the handsome CJ herO

I hope Samsung picks up another terran for next season of proleague (especially if it goes back to bo7, fingers crossed), or they'll have a hard time, just like this season. Dear, Stork, Solar, Armani/BrAvO isn't exactly the best of lineups. Should lose to Life, Bomber, San, Has, for example.

Also if his level in Code A last year was any indication, BrAvO is a good Terran. I actually was more impressed with his games than Reality's overall, it's just he never got sent out in SPL because of SKT's insane lineup.

Pretty big news imo. Didn't Reality have some crazy long TvZ with SK or something? RorO being a former champ yet retiring >.>

So Roro left, and his mark is history is to be a nobody that won a GSL once.... I feel bad for Symbol

Glad Roro gone. He abused gglords and winfestors to win the gsl, at the cost of sc2 becoming boring to watch, and then faded into obscurity once such anti skill tactics got rightfully nerfed into the ground. he briefly made a resurgence by abusing swarmhosts, but luckily anti skill tactics like that got nerfed too. Now there are just good zerg players left in GSL

I despise(d) Roro for winning the GSL that I always felt Life should have won and I didn't always particularly enjoy his games, but I'd never gloat over a player retiring (most likely because he doesn't feel there's enough opportunity for him anymore) or call a GSL champion "anti skill" or "abusive" in an attempt to discredit his achievements. There's a line of basic respect here.

RorO was a very good player. Accusing him of abusing winfestor deathballs in WoL is meaningless--every Zerg did. Even Life who did it probably less than everyone else doesn't beat Mvp in the finals without it. And yes, he eventually became one of the few heavy swarm host users in Korea, but he didn't need them to play at top levels. In honor of his retirement, here's my favorite RorO game--against PartinG on Whirlwind in the WCS Korea 2013 Season 1 Placement Matches, which is probably on my shortlist of best PvZs of all time (and not a swarm host or brood lord in sight):

It feels like Life should win every GSL.
But getting beaten out by his rival PartinG was also a fitting story I guess?

Reality and Turn (Turn especially) have another thing coming if they're looking for foreign teams unfortunately. They don't have the marketability of Rain or Fantasy and neither of them have been successful in finding a new home yet.
