As for the discussion about his reasons, I believe that donating a part of his liver might actually not be the only reason. I think that the game has changed too much with LotV and while some people like the changes, some other (including me) don't. It's just too far away from SCII has been in the past years. And I expect more Koreans to retire in the next months... Goodbye Rain! | ||

Seeing the "Big 3" in action once more playing the game that made them great would be amazing Which rumors? Sad to see Rain retire, he was one of THE sc2 protoss players to watch for sure. I wish him the best of luck. | ||

Rain is a true hero that has sacrifices his health and wellbeing for months to come in order for his dad to be better. We can all learn and take a lot from him. Even if I didn't like his play in HOTS (but I did) I am in awe of him. So I totally understand his reasoning to retire. Maybe he didn't like LOTV too, who knows? | ||

Obviously the new WCS system foreced Korean players to do. it's just like a s**t. If SPOTV or GSL doesn't open an additional league for Korean players, the SC2 Scene could be dead, i'm afraid. the new wcs system wasnt even released at the time when rain had his interview? Kespa obviously knew about it, but did the players? This is really really sad. I wonder if LotV wasnt fun for him at all or if missing the qualifiers for gsl/ssl had something to do with it. One of the best sc2 players ever and imho the best protoss player (not because he won as much as hero or sOs but because he did show how other styles than high risk /coinflip styles were viable as protoss). I wish rain the best of luck with everything in the future. | ||

This is because the liver is the organ that is responsible for the detoxification and metabolisation of waste products in the blood, as well as it's a major supplier of enzymes. Not to mention he has had an abdominal surgery with general anesthesia which might not seem like a big thing but it actually is because there is a small chance that one might not wake up from it and there is no way of knowing if it will be you. So it's an emotional shock too. And then, the surgery itself requires tons of rest and medications, even without losing 1/3 of your liver. Rain is a true hero that has sacrifices his health and wellbeing for months to come in order for his dad to be better. We can all learn and take a lot from him. Even if I didn't like his play in HOTS (but I did) I am in awe of him. So I totally understand his reasoning to retire. Maybe he didn't like LOTV too, who knows? I find it amazing that liver donations are even possible. I just doesn't seem reasonable that you can cut off half a liver and give it to another person and that works out just fine after a while | ||

Kespa obviously knew about it, but did the players? Obviously they knew, Stats spit the beans in his interview that he wants to win since there are only 2 seasons of SSL and that was before Blizzard announce the WCS info. | ||
