Are his future plans confirmed yet? I’ve heard a lot of mention of him coaching LoL but not anything official yet.

Yes there are. Sure guys like Classic, GuMiHo, Fantasy and Hero retired, but new players like Chance, Dynamite, Zoun, SpeeD and others came back from the army and might try to qualify (plus some aspiring pros like Rookie, Prince, Soloist, etc).

This, or there will be more space for foreigners attempting to qualify(given they would like to).

Yeah, if many foreigners try to qualify I'm not sure some of the guys I mentioned can overcome them.

So which of these actually retired and who is actually just doing their military service?

Fanta is the only guy who's not going into the army.

Was so hyped when he started his comeback, he even showed really good form. No matter what he does I hope he does well, I'll always be a fan.

GG fantasy. Thanks for everything. Especially the epic series against jaedong and flash. Much love and all the best in the future.

I’m sad to see him go. He was a really interesting player who in both sc2 and broodwar asserted his unique approach to rts games and made it work at the highest level of play. One of the most stylistic and stylish players I have ever watched.

I will never forget his game vs ragnoroc back in hots where he nearly won vs a 4 base Zerg after being bane busted and having only 6 workers. When your a micro god it makes sense to fantasy gg timing. I will miss him.

Fan rant over.

Haven't heard much from him lately. So it's a classic FanTasy GG-Timing ? :D !

I see a lot of comments about his potential move to a coaching role in League as "easy money". I really feel like that denigrates fantasy's decision to pursue other opportunities, coaching might be a much more fulfilling job for Fantasy at this stage in his life. People's choices aren't all about money, or else Fantasy would have never came back to sc2 in the first place.

Anyways, I wish Fantasy luck in the future, thanks for all the awesome games!

Fantasy to me seems to continually favour new challenges over easy money and I see this as another example of that.

Being real the easy money for him is just streaming BW and he continually does other stuff so it’s grossly unfair for anyone to level that at him.

Shame!


Wish all the best for him.

The long term future of SC2 is very much unknown, so anyone who isn't a premier tournament winning player moving on is not too surprising.


Sad truth to the matter. Unless you're the very best and capable of winning an event or placing Top 4 a majority of the time. It's not worth it, even the likes of Classic who's probably Top 2 Protoss this year is already gone.

More job secuity being a LoL coach, and I wish the best for Fantasy in his endeavors. Though it'd be better if he went to BW at least for the entertainment factor and those who loved his career/run back in the day. He's shown he can even topple Flash in a TvT.
