When asked about his current status in a stream chat (P)JYP stated he has retired
[image loading]

JYP played for TSL, EG and Spectre before leaving the team last year.

JYP's last significant run was eliminating Jaedong and Naniwa at DH Winter.

If he's got non-SC2 stuff going for him right now, then this is the best time to get out. Good decision. GL!

edit: I thought he was still on EG. Cut some stuff that's not relevant with new team info.

I could never actually say his name casually. I HAD to whisper it, like in all of the Wonder Girls songs.

Isn't that quite far in the past?

Anyway, GG JYP, thank you for the games (Especially the game on Dual Sight against MC at HSC 4) and good luck in your future endeavours.

Good luck with whatever is next in life JYP.

A more influential Protoss than I think he gets credit for, along with HerO really developed Warp Prism and harassment-focused styles in PvZ when everyone else was deathball turtling or all-inning.

Not surprising given that we haven't really heard anything from JYP in 6 months or more, but still sad to see him go.

GL in the future JYP!

You weren't the only one, but why are people commenting as though he retired from EG? He left EG some time ago this retirement doesn't really say anything about EG in any way as far as their current roster is concerned.

This is kind of sad to read... Will miss seeing him play. It's a pity he hasn't been able to attend many major events last year.

Thanks for the games and memories JYP.

Let's be fair, the team was itself scammed, and he was simply one of several victims.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

JYP ! One of the few protosses that managed to make me laugh for both his personality and his game style.
Its a sad loss, the guy definitively had his own vision of the game, i remember him doing some craaaaaaaazy stuff.

May the future be good for him !

Damn, I'll miss him.

I had the chance to meet him last fall when he was studying abroad at Northwestern University, which is in the town I live in (I live like a block away). Shame I never took it up since I was away at college myself.

JYP will always be one of the most creative PvZ players of all time, who even in WoL (along with HerO) was doing the kind of harass-oriented warp prism style against Zerg that is now standard. In honor of him, here's one of my favorite games of his, against DongRaeGu in Code A of GSL 2011 August:

Is it just me, or didn't he already officially retire several months ago? When I first read this a few days ago I was amazed at the amount of people surprised - still am.

I don't recall him officially retiring before, I think it just seemed that way since we haven't really seem him play in much since his contract with EG ended, which was a long time ago. But players sometimes all but vanish for a long time and then pop back up, like LosirA for example.
