"I have been writing for a long time and I have decided to retire after a lot of troubles. I have been playing for 7 years since I have been through a lot of things. I really appreciate you for doing so many times and I can not give you back everything.

But thanks to the many people who cheered me a lot and good team members, I think that I have been playing so happily ever since I met, so I would like to thank all of the other players who continue to stay and work hard."

Sad to see him go. He wasnt the best or the flashiest player in the scene, but it was always fun to watch him play. Did he specify any of the "troubles" he had or is it just being burned out in general?

Not a player I recognized a lot but still sucks to see SC2 lose another progamer.

How many 2010 progamers are left now anyway? Surely almost all are gone by now?

I guess I'm not as up to date as I thought. That's a good thing though in this case. Losira still plays? Cool.

Another translation:

Hello, this is Curious. It's been a while since I left a post.

After much deliberation, I have decided to retire. I spent around 7 years as a progamer, and have been through a lot of things in the meantime. Thank you very much for your support over the years. I feel regretful that I couldn't repay you for all of your support, but I feel that I was able to grow and was happy playing the game thanks to my good teammates, and the fans who have cheered so much for me. So once again, I want to say thank you very much, and please give a lot of support to the other players who are still staying on and working hard.

------------

Sad to see Curious go, I wish him all the best.

Maru, Gumiho, and ByuN are probably the most prominent 2010ers

The Gatekeeper of Code A, Curious will be missed. One of the few players from the original GSL Opens that was still playing. I'm guessing Leenock, Losira, aLive, and Ryung may not be too far behind. I expect Byun and Gumiho to stick around for quite awhile, Maru too if he stays interested.

Thanks for all the great games Curious, you've always been highly professional and put on a great show for your fans. We're gonna miss you and hope to see you streaming, coaching, casting, or otherwise involved in the scene.

This is pretty big, he was good for years. Though sadly never really the best. RIP one of the oldschoolers.

Damn thats one of the old guard.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
