Rough translation:
soO signed up for the qualifier but he told the organizer today that he decides to quit.

Is he going to retire?

Let's certainly hope not. He's too good right now to quit

I'd say it's too early to tell as it's only one event If he doesn't participate in GSL then there is a much stronger case to think of retirement. He's also already qualified for SSL Premier if there is a next season so it's not like he had nothing. We'll have to wait and see.

I'm pretty sure you gave some people heart attacks with the first 4 words of that title.

WESG isn't just one event. If soO qualified, he would likely have earned $89,000 (2nd place in Asian Pacific Qualifier then 2nd at the main event) That's over twice what a GSL title would pay despite being a lot less work.

It seems that I cannot change the title. I should be careful next time. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Maybe he just have something else plan on those dates, or he just want to take a break, plus it's not like he had that good of a chance to qualify. I don't think he care to much about the money right now, he should be pretty well of, he made a ton of money in the lasts years only in prize money and dosen't seem to be one to overspend.
Lets not panic just yet...

Maybe he thought the $9,000 for second place wasn't worth it.

Oh man, I hope he's doing alright. I kinda wish he was happy with his success, since he made nearly 200k in earnings this year. I know that's not how serious competitors think and feel, but idk, it just sucks to see someone get so close so many times, and then gets hurt because he can't close a championship.

Yeah think he probs though he wants some time off. If he doesn't play GSL qualifiers then you can start panicking. WESG is always weird and some players hate it some love it.
Wait till December 26th!
