Via Wolf on twitter, news has comes that TANGTANG will retire.



May the memory of his fantastic name and the one time he beat Zest live on forever.

Prime's roster is down to 3 players now

Nooooo TANGTANG. I always felt he had a lot of potential to do well, especially after he knocked out Zest of the GSL qualifiers. I guess being on Prime and not getting the support to reach his potential got to him

so prime can't continue in PL with only 3 players right ?
I heard somewhere that there is a huge clan beside the pro team in prime, so maybe they could pick the best players of it to continue

0-8 vs 1-14, honestly I don't know what's better. Even the word "better" seems out of place here.

Following the facebook post, he made the chioce because he wanted to do something else(Not sure what it is), not pro-gaming. And he said he regreted that he could't play his best. Also he left a message of thanks to his fans, coaches and the others who helped his pro-gaming career.

Tbh, It's very bad that lots of players to retire or consider to step back. These news make me to worry.

Well Proleague this year for them is over, so they have 3 months to sign someone and technically they still have the deal with Invictus so if the Chinese players come back they have 6

Plus there's always a remote chance ByuN comes back from his vision quest

I'm not sure whether to feel sorry for Prime or to assign blame at this point. I have a feeling the correct feeling is somewhere in the middle. Regardless of how we should feel about their performance something needs to be done.

i dont really believe "coaching" or team environment matters that much, i mean sure its significant but at the end of the day there are only so many tier 1 players in the league and prime just has the lowest distribution of them

short of magically having money to sign all the good free agents, i don't think there's really much blame to assign. they're a bad team with bad players, it happens in every sports league

Well the past results contradicts your statement. Good teams makes good players and bad team can totally wreck good players. Look at Myungsik he went to Prime, went mediocre/bad, he went to KT and his results sky rocketed. How did Yodas move to Prime go for him, well since he went there his results have plummeted.

How did Departure do on Prime? How have he been doing on MVP? Exponentially better.

Innovation was struggling, went to SKT and now he's kicking ass, Impact was a mess, who would have thought he would be doing in well and winning games in pro-league half a year ago?

The signs are there to see everywhere, a bad player goes to a good team expect great improvement, a great player going to Prime and expect a slump.

As sad as it is, this made me laugh.

I suppose being in the current Prime environment, you'll either fall into sadness and despair or do your utmost to get out of the rut. With all TANGTANG's experiences thus far in Proleague, I'm not surprised.

Sad really, if he was on another team he'd probably be doing better, at least in mentality. Good luck to him in his future endeavours.

There are mistakes in what you're saying. MyuNgSiK was on KT before he was on Prime. And INnoVation reached the final of GSL while on Acer, he only played the final with the SKT jersey but the whole road was with Acer.

The best thing that can happen in prime is if they lose all their players. , so they can finally develop some talent.. but most likely they will disband in a few weeks

short of magically having money to sign all the good free agents, i don't think there's really much blame to assign. they're a bad team with bad players, it happens in every sports league

Well the past results contradicts your statement. Good teams makes good players and bad team can totally wreck good players. Look at Myungsik he went to Prime, went mediocre/bad, he went to KT and his results sky rocketed. How did Yodas move to Prime go for him, well since he went there his results have plummeted.

How did Departure do on Prime? How have he been doing on MVP? Exponentially better.

Innovation was struggling, went to SKT and now he's kicking ass, Impact was a mess, who would have thought he would be doing in well and winning games in pro-league half a year ago?

The signs are there to see everywhere, a bad player goes to a good team expect great improvement, a great player going to Prime and expect a slump.

INnoVation reached the final of GSL while on Acer, he only played the final with the SKT jersey but the whole road was with Acer.


Not sure if bait or just retarded or what

i dont really believe "coaching" or team environment matters that much, i mean sure its significant but at the end of the day there are only so many tier 1 players in the league and prime just has the lowest distribution of them

Pretty sure it's just a post stating the truth as it is. SKT picked up INnoVation when he was semifinalist of this GSL already, and I think he prepared the semis and the finals much more with his usual practicr partner than with the SKT house. You could also add to Boucot's post, as far as INnoVation's results on SKT go, that he also experienced a decently big slump on SKT.

no matter how you look at it, as a fan of SC2 this type of news is saddening. I'm going to enjoy this next year or so of Hots, it will probably be the end of SC2. I don't think LoTV will change anything unfortunately.

TANGTANG. His name will be remembered throughout the ages, too bad it will only be his name that is remembered.

Prime on life support now, here's hoping they get triple-bypass surgery before next season starts.

you have very very badly missed the point, as i clearly said yes it's significant but team environment can't change the level of talent someone has. i could spend twelve hours a day in a korean teamhouse and i would probably still top out at master

your random examples don't really demonstrate anything, especially when it comes to players like inno who already showed a top level of play and had ups and downs. every player has ups and downs, that's not really the same as an entire team being full of nobodies with low or no results. if the implication is that skt could take prime and make them a playoff team then it's an absurd one

people love to blame coaches because there's literally no way to prove it right or wrong yet you can argue as adamantly as you please that there's something "wrong with the coaching" or whatever. it's just intellectual laziness and its boring

does skt have better coaching than prime and does it matter? yes, like i already said it probably does matter. but attributing their entire failure to that and not admitting the players just aren't that talented is unfair and silly

There's a reason they bought out Zoun from PRIME and not BBoongBBoong. SKT has some monstrous coaching (they basically changed Dream and Dark from Tier 2 or 3 players into championship contenders), but they pick up people only that they can see have potential.
tl;dr SKT is better than PRIME because they can afford both superb coaches and superb players

SK Telecom is worth about 20 billion dollars, is anyone unrealistic enough to assume that a team like Prime has a realistic chance to compete with them at any level?

I honestly find it hard to believe that Prime has survived this long. Always clinging to hope, barely.
But not even Prime can last forever. Even if SC2 was prospering in Korea, which it isn't, Prime would basically be on life support.

At this point, from a monetary standpoint, I'm guessing only the greatest of champions and a couple of others (Parting, Flash, Rain, Life, Hero) are making any more money than they would working a retail job or something like that.
