It's funny to me that herO got the nickname "smiling assassin," when MMA is the progamer I most associate with a good-natured grin.

Like StarCraft II needs more...

Was the transition from WoL to HotS like this? Mass retirements and dark future about WCS?


Mass retirements? I know of Flash and MMA as the big names. Plus, the biggest reason for Korean players is the mandatory military service, what better time to get that out of the way than when a new game has just come out and your skill level may not be consistent with what you showed in the previous game? Pretty sure there were comparable retirements during WoL to HotS period as well.

People also don't realize there's no big thread for every up and comer, the guy who might be a royal roader next year, or the next big proleague sniper (etc) so if all you read about is retirements it might seem like that way
Edit: Almost forgot, best of luck MMA, one of my favorite Terrans

Wow, what a a legend. Good luck to MMA in the future. His dominance in WoL and his comeback in late HOTS was quite the sight.

I think Bomber was supposed to have retired for a year now. Same with Taeja.

But, they're Koreans, so they'll keep grinding until they have to join the military.

Bomber was listed on the SBENU roster, so he should be around for at least a few months more
