SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — November 1, 2016 — Evil Geniuses (EG), a premiere professional gaming team, announces that one of the team’s most successful and visible StarCraft 2 players, Lee ‘Jaedong’ Jae Dong will officially retire as a player. An absolute legend of the Brood War era, and EG player since 2012, Jaedong will don his player jersey for one last time during BlizzCon this coming weekend.

That's a harsh way to put it, but yeah, this is probably the least unexpected retirement of the year.

Yeah. He hasn't played since February.

The interview is pretty good at least.

I have a Jaedong story, last year at WCS on the second (?) day I was outside my hotel waiting to meet up with some people for breakfast or whatever, and out of nowhere Jaedong showed up with someone. They did not know how to get to the venue so I offered to walk him there. So yeah I got to walk him to the venue and it was pretty cool, they let him in after some convincing he was a player and I went about my day
