What can he do? His Mothership obviously can't wait another season for him.

Thats kinda sad, wasnt that long ago that he really became a huge name, and now he is quiting:/
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

Seems like a good decision. He should be able to transition into a relatively normal life if that's what he wants.

Anyway, my last major memory of him will be that time he played protoss like a zerg~
High five :---)

wow. I assume this was because the coach retired too. If the coach doesn't retire, I guarantee Effort would have stayed

Wow a 20 plus page thread in only a few days, makes it pretty clear how much the starcraft community loves Effort; he was definitely my favorite zerg player. Good luck to him in the future I suppose!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Well, I think this one is even bigger than Effort. It's sort of telling of what's to come, unfortunately. ={

I'd say he made the right decision for himself, leaving the sinking boat before no more life jackets are remaining. Best of luck to him.

I wish he'd stay, but I don't think it's a huge loss. He hasn't been around for too long (in comparison to some other renowned players) anyway.

I respect his decision a lot, what an amazing person.

Effort will be missed.... he was Savior's (who?) heir and the second candidate to the Zerg throne.. a pity he decided to type out.
GG Effort. GL to your life

You know I bet Effort will play broodwar on iccup just not hardcore like now but just because he'll miss the game oh so much
When I think of something else, something will go here

BTW can someone tell me how he came to get the nickname Messiah or when that came about? Is there a story behind it?

He was the next big zerg of CJ entus after savior, so that should be it .

... Once again the guy isn't doing anything related to SC2 let alone gaming.

How about some of you start actually reading the thread or at least the initial post before commenting to save yourselves the embarrassment?

I still find this fairly unbelievable—not in the "OH MY GOD" sense, but in that I don't really believe him.

Bet there's a good chance he returns either shortly before or after the proleague season begins.

Wow.
That just blows my mind.
It's gotta be tough to leave pro-gaming behind for something totally new when you've already put so much effort (pun not intended :D) and time into it.
I don't Micro, I FEMTO. That's 9 orders of magnitude more extreme.
