"Perfect Terran" (T)XellOs Seo Ji Hoon has decided to officially end his 10-year progaming career.

In a surprising turn of events, Xellos, after a decorated career which included the Olympus OSL title, will be entering the company CJ group as an official employee, instead of continuing as a progaming coach.

=====

Goodbye Xellos Good luck with the next part of your life!

I wonder what he'll be doing at CJ. I hope he finds happiness with whatever he's moving on to. I guess this will also give him more time to become the perfect husband!

My favourite player
It's a sensible decision but I'm still sad to see him retire from pro gaming.

Unfortunate that he couldn't join the CJ coaching staff.

I wonder what he'll do as a CJ official employee

He will be working in the Sports Marketing Department of CJ Group, which includes the administration of the CJ Entus progaming team, as well as other sports that CJ is investing in, such as golf and motor sports.
