Confirmed by him on the SC20 stream.

He will be joining QLASH in the coming weeks, and will also be streaming more.


Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/LiquidRet (not sure if he has a new one or not since he is not part of Liquid anymore)

Twitter: https://twitter.com/Retjah

Twitch clip of him talking about it:

I really missed him.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

OK that is promising, but still he has a lot of work to do and I feel he's just in a very hard position because of his age if he want's to compete at high level.

I think around 2016 sort of unoffically. It was never made public if I remember correctly. 2017 he talked about it on Stream.

Wow, great news. Welcome back Ret!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Ret should know he's got fans that LOVE that he's returning to the scene. Much respect to the man.

Why not go back to TL ?
TL didn't want him ? Or he didn't want TL ? Or he wanted something else ?
I'm a bit surprised he didn't go back to his former team if he's serious at it again.
Still, happy news !

Always good to see an old name return to the scene. I'm a bit concerned though - I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I thought I remembered him talking a few months back about how much better and fun BW was in his opinion compared to SC2. I just hope his heart is 100% behind this decision.

I remember those comments as well. His return to SC2 comes as a surprise.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Good luck Ret, it will be a hard path. At least he is not delusional and remains a very down to earth person, hope it can somehow be successful again.

So.. What's his plan for the return? I mean there isn't too much money right now in the scene apart from the top10-15 foreign players. For me it's hard to justify going back to pro-gaming, especially for someone who's not that young anyway.

I don't get it... Why would you leave the comfort of a stable and well-recognised team like Liquid to join QLASH? They're not even known for SC2 but are mainly a Clash Royale team...

I think he retired from liquid and is making a comeback with qlash. I'm not sure returning illiquid was an option.

I don't think Liquid are interested in picking up any more SC2 players. Their last acquisition was uThermal a year and a half ago. If they were interested I'm sure they would have picked up one of the many teamless Koreans by now.

I went to check on how many players left TL for another team (btw., it's only Huk, HerO and now Ret) and saw, that TLO has been with the FOR OVER 8 YEARS!! Well, that's pretty impressive, both for TLO and TeamLiquid and they are both still kicking some ass . I hope there will be some celebration when they hit their 10 year anniversary .

Ret's last official match was in August 2015, his departure was just never really made 'official'. Liquid still has Thermal, Mana, TLO and Snute playing.

Very cool if it's true (and it seems to be), I was afraid it was an April fool joke or something.

Iirc VortiX tried to come back as well but it didn't work out, it will be interesting to see how Ret does.
Nowadays the old guard doesn't do very well

Judging from his activity on tournaments/qualifiers, RETired I guess?
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...
