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?


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

Yes I'm sure all the up and coming new Korean players would have flown out to IEMs and the like, placed in the top 4 so they are able to earn the same amount they will get from Code A next year. It doesn't really matter if you don't like the WCS changes, it's just lazy to blame everything on them. This problem would still exist without WCS and the new system looks like it offers better incentives to upcoming players in Korea.

Everybody should watch his matches against TRUE, especially this one and this one.

I thought with his style that the terrorist would do well in Legacy.

Sad to see him leave.

In an appraisal of the best players to never win a SC2 tournament he would surely make the shortlist.

Good job Blizzard.

I hope you're taking notice. The new WCS system is absolutely awful and I wouldn't be surprised if this wave of retirements continues into the new year.

Really terrible judgement call on their part IMO.

Guess he'll just go back to where he's always belonged, streaming bw, participating in the ssl etc.. Seems like the majority of them ends up going back. Shame for sc2 though, but I can't help but feel like it's almost inevitable..

Makes you think about what Blizzard needs to do/create to keep the playerbase as big as possible.
You look at people and you see puzzles. I see games. You? You're a game I'll win everytime.

I always respected Fantasy. His gg timing proved me was a man after my own heart.

Still, until Jaedong retires, I remain hopeful. When he leaves, I may go with him.
