Neeb leaves ONSYDE, to "focus purely on his studies."

He was already "retired" since the start of the school year no?
Probably just wanted/was required to finish his contract with Onside for the WTL.

I'd expect him to still play in the EPT tour next year.

Is there anyone who's full time in NA now btw? Are Scarlett and Astrea full time?

Pretty sure he already was kind of out of it, but it was surely nice to farm NA for a good chunk of money. But now, with pirzepool cuts on the way and more competition in the new-formed Americas region, that would be just too hard.

Today we lost arguably the most accomplished NA SC2 progamer in Neeb to academic studies. Wish him the best of luck in life and in this next chapter.

The very first non-korean who won a korean tournament inside korea.


In SC2, yes.

In all of SC, no.

To be fair, Grrrr...won his OSL in 2000 and that was a completely different era in esports.

When Neeb was focusing on the game first and foremost he was a frickin' beast.

Hell, he was still the undisputed #1 in the US even playing part-time.

He will be missed.

Who can say that with any certainty? He himself probably doesn't know for sure, even if he has a opinion right now.

Who can say that with any certainty? Plenty pros have said they plan to play. Serral himself said on stream today he will try it.
