It was announced today that Zerg player Jeon "TerrOr" Ji Won, from team Prime has retired. TerrOr had joined Prime at the start of 2013, right after BBoongBBoong left . A pretty big hole to fill considering B4 was Prime's ace Zerg for a while. Unfortunately, he has never lived up to that reputation. TerrOr's first televised win was against GuMiho, in 2013 GSTL Season 1. Recently he was always very close to qualifying for Korean leagues, but always came just too short.

Well it's not that Prime got rid of him, it's that he ended his career as a pro gamer. We'll see how long it takes for Prime to pick up a new player or two. | ||

Prime only has BBongBBong as a zerg now, they really need to get some zergs otherwise practicing XvZ is going to be even more tough | ||

Seeing how PRIME removes player very quickly when they dont perform, i always believed he would break through since he was staying in the roster. He was the only one staying in the team house to practice when everyone was going home for the few holidays that the players have, he was trying hard and playing well on ladder...sadly he'll be remembered for his poor results Prime only has BBongBBong as a zerg now, they really need to get some zergs otherwise practicing XvZ is going to be even more tough Maybe they will pick up DRG. Would be quite the irony, MVP and Prime exchanging MarineKing and DRG. | ||

He isn't dead or anything, and his results are probably partially correlated to his decision to retire, thus relevant. Retirement from pro-gaming is probably a great opportunity for him to start a new life and not a funeral event that should censor this kind of things. And come on, we've seen retirement threads with way worse and disrecpectful comments than this. | ||

It doesn't change that it's a sad thing (if you cared about that player). Just like when you hear that Mvp might be considering retirement, after not seeing a game from him in 8 months, and knowing his health problems, it's not "too surprising", even though it's heartbreaking news... Well, at least, this is not a consensus that it's disrespectful. | ||

"오늘 프로리그 2라운드를 끝으로 그만두게되었습니다 게임보다 더 하고싶은 일이 생겼네요 좋지못한성적으로 마무리해서 많이 아쉽네요 프로게이머하면서 너무 많은걸 배우고 느낀거 같아요 여태까지 응원해주신 모든 분들께 감사드리고 다른 길로 가는 저를 지켜봐주세요 프라임팀도 많은 응원부탁드려요 I left my job as a progamer after playing two rounds in the pro-league. I am sad and disappointed because I finished my last game with a score that was not high enough. I learned a lot of things being a progamer. I appreciate you guys for supporting me this far. Please keep watching out for me even though I'm going another way and Please keep supporting Prime team. Thank you so much" Maybe it can be add to the first post. Source: Terror Facebook Profile | ||

Look, I agree with Ragnarok that saying that doesn't warrant calling you tasteless and stupid..... But still, even if it's true, I really don't think you should have said what you said (not being surprised) At least say it in a different way, for example, "It's a pity he didn't deliver like most expected him to, so I guess this decision might not be too surprising and actually quite beneficial for Terror". Same meaning, whole different way that other readers will view it | ||

He made it to a point in his career few can only dream of, he won a televised game and that is something to be proud of. But there is nothing wrong with pointing out he did not meet peoples expectations. Looking back on a players career at their retirement is not just "oh we wish him so much luck its a shame he's gone". Its everything. Get off the high horse and be happy people care enough to post about a player. When Mvp officially retires, I want to see "Mvp will be remembered as a 4 time GSL winner" rather than "Mvp failed to win the G5L trophy". There's nothing wrong with pointing out that TerrOr never managed to reach his full potential, but having something equaling "It's not surprising he retired because his results were bad." in the OP is cold. | ||

When MVP retires, if he fails to actually make a comeback in LOTV, it will read 4 time GSL winner who was on top of the world, moved to Europe, took one tournament and then faded into obscurity. When athletes in any sport retire. especially those who under-perform that is the first thing that is mentioned. | ||

I think that would be fair, except Mvp didn't retire because of his skill level - he retired because he literally couldn't play the game anymore. I think it'd be more fair to have it read "Four time GSL winner, the undisputed greatest of Wings of Liberty, one of the founders of the game, moved to Europe and took a championship even a couple years past him prime." | ||
