"I`ll take a rest for a while, thinking about future plan."

Is it implying retirement? Or that he's waiting for WCS news?


He implied nothing of the sort; literally, he`ll take a rest.

Her certainly didn't exclude the possibility, either. Often, players say they will "take a rest," which turns out to be indefinite.

If you think about it, it would be surprising, but not entirely shocking, if he retired. He had a (fairly) successful career as a BW player, has killed it in SC2, but can't really play in PL unless he goes back to SKT1.

I really hope he doesn't retire, but it's definitely not out of the question.

Well, this sucks. Can't really see him returning back to SC2 full time after his break; he'll be so far behind on LOTV practice by that point.

No Kespa team will pick him up, as he is not allowed to play in ProLeague for another team then SKT.

Unless Kespa did actually create a 8²th team and convinced SKT to let Rain play there (and he would totally fit as a protoss leader for such team).


I'd like to see that happening, but I figure he'll go back to SKT. He has few options at this point.

Hey DCGall if you're lurking around somewhere, where do Korean viewers stand on the whole "Rain/PartinG not allowed to proleague for 5 years" thing? Do they share Western sentiment that this ruling is draconian and anti-fun, or do they think it's reasonable?


Ambivalent. Without 5-year-rule, there`s no way to stop those two Telecom teams from sweeping talented players from this scene, which will break the equilibrium; teams on low budgets cannot protect their players nor get any transfer fee.

However, considering T1`s overwhelming strength, Koreans think that it`d be better to make an exception for this case.

Do you really want to go back to a team that screwed you over?

How did SKT screw Rain over?

Apparently he cannot play in proleague for the next 4 years except if it's for SKT. The same applies to Parting, Soulkey and Fantasy. Parting was in total beast mode earlier this year (95% PvT ~_~) and his team would have done much better if he was allowed to play.

This is really strange. He played his best matches during his SKT1 period, but he became a GSL champion while representing a foreign team. Anyway, I hope he'll make the right decision for him, because he's still one of my favorite pro-s in the e-sports. GL Rain!

I don't think that's really a concern. When Kespa switched to SC2 they were years behind and Rain won OSL and came 2nd in GSL within around 6 months of switching .

Yea, but it still could have easily been 85%+. First 7 months of this year:
Under these filters, PartinG is 71–12 (85.54%) in games and 29–1 (96.67%) in matches.

and vs Koreans only:
Under these filters, PartinG is 61–10 (85.92%) in games and 24–1 (96.00%) in matches.
