Hey Blizzard, do these series of high-profile retirements make the scene look healthy to you?
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

This is sad but not a suprise to see all these retirements. Terran feels terrible to play in lotv and its been obvious through most of the beta. The wcs system is bad for Koreans.

The numbers don't support the theory that Terrans are likely to retire. Terrans and Protosses have been retiring in almost even numbers during the last couple of months. Some notable Terrans retired (Flash, MMA, Fantasy), but notable Protoss players did that too (Rain, MC).

WCS - yep, this could be a factor. Quite depends on what the Korean scene can offer this year besides GSL/SSL/SPL.

MC has been semi retired for a while now. Rain retired because of a unique situation with his father. MMA and Fantasy were pushed out because of the WCS changes. I think Flash retired because he's never liked SC2 as much as BW and he didn't like the direction that Blizzard took with Terran in SC2. Flash isn't that old, was on a Kespa team, and was still one of the better Terran's, so the timing of his retirement says to me that he didn't like the game very much.

MMA was not pushed out by the WCS changes. He had planned retiring last year before doing well at Blizzcon then decide to do one more year. Now he's leaving because he's 27 and has to do his military service before he's 30.

First Flash now Fantasy... really sad to see them go so early.
Best of luck in your future. The SC2 scene just got smaller by a ton.

Last year and this year MMA won a HSC, Dreamhack, and WCS EU. With the WCS changes he wouldn't have been able to participate in any of those tournaments if they were held next year and might not have qualified for Blizzcon. I'm sure age is a factor but it seems like his recent performance at international events would motivate him to keep playing if he were allowed to.

Is it just me or are alot of Korean players 'retiring' from LoTV to go back to BW?

Not that I'm complaining as I personally don't enjoy LoTV anymore, but I feel that it's bad for the Starcraft Scene given that if LoTV starts tanking, Blizzard may abandon it sooner rather than later.

I'm seeing a lot of korean pros retiring, but my question is, are there any new korean players coming into the scene to replace them?

No. And that is a much bigger deal for the Korean scene than the retirements. Retirements happens, but with basically no new players replacing them the Korean scene is on a massive decline. I believe there was only 1 new player signed by any Kespa team in 2015 (not including those girls on MVP).

Nope and with the changes to WCS there won't be either
