Vanilla nooooooo

One of the nicest guys I met at MSI, great english as well. Watched the Blizzcon games with him, he predicted every build San did vs jjakji perfectly.
Best of luck to him.

I thought Slam was currently in the military. I was waiting for him to return, but guess it's no surprise to start looking for greener pastures at his age.

GL to both of them!

It's so nice that you felt the need to express your ignorance with a post. Not knowing Slam, even as a "I think that name is familiar" type of deal is...yeah.

Well that's a bit of a shame, but understandable.

Anything significant happen to TeSL, or is it just a bit of an offseason?

Slam was cool. I didn't get to know much about Vanilla though, it was before his time

So with Vanilla retiring isn't there literally 1 terran "pro" (I'm pretty sure him and the other are both semi pros IIRC) left in Taiwan?

What a shame they both helped round out Yoe. Wonder how they'll replace them

kinda sucks that Vanilla doesn't even have his own Liquipedia page before retiring. I guess he hasn't gotten any top 4 in his career.
very illegal and very uncool

Slam was playing in challenger 100 hours ago, there really must be no way to make money in SC2 in taiwan if he's done that quickly after
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

Well there is TeSL but the problem is that Koreans who play for Taiwanese teams end up taking the high placings so not a lot of money. And it doesn't happen often enough to sustain yourself
