Nooooo

Two base Colossus all-ins will never be the same. Thanks for all the memories and games, hope you do well in what you aspire towards Squirtle.

I think you underestimate both their marketability and their skill. Squirtle had kind of faded away in the past year or so, whereas DRG and Soulkey are having mild resurgences. DRG in particular is fantastic at playing up the crowd, which is a skill that greatly helps progamers find sponsorship.

Sucks. Was hoping he would play for Startale like Bomber and Parting are planned to do. Well whatever suits him I guess. It's always weird learning about retirements through things like Facebook posts. Why don't some players just out right say they retire?

Aye, they are definitely hotter grabs, by a significant margin. DRG especially, I agree. But it's becoming a realllly long time at this point. And we've also seen lots of recent free agents go to teams that are surprisingly low-brow, considering the caliber of those free agents. The market place looks bad. I mean, Squirtle couldn't even find something satisfactory enough for him to keep playing the game, although it's ambiguous exactly what can be read into that.
