Genius Terran" Yoon Yeol 'NaDa' Lee officially retired from professional gaming on Tuesday after playing his final StarCraft: Brood War game in the OSL Legend event match against Anytime. He is expected to serve in South Korea's mandatory military service.
During the interview following the match, he revealed that he plans to take a managerial role in building up a new StarCraft 2 team in Korea, expressing his eagerness "to create a very strong pro gaming team with my own effort."
"I have been acting as a model for S-Culture clothing brand for couple months. I also plan to join a StarCraft 2 team called MJ team as head manager, so I can mentor my pupils. I want to create a very strong pro gaming team with my own effort. Mr. Song, the president of S-Culture, will also be the president of MJ. We are in the process of finding coaching staff and players, and many people are already applying. I then plan to go to the military, and get married afterward."

This is rather welcome news; in the wake of his retirement and with his military service on the horizon there was always the worry that we'd lose Nada from Starcraft forever, but it seems he's going to be working hard to help mentor a new generation of RTS talent both before and after his time with the military.
It's also pretty exciting that there looks like being significant investment from a new party to completely start up a new team! Will look forward to seeing what the future holds for them =)

This is so cool :O Nada fighting!
More reasoning for me to actually get good at the game now! Wewt
|
Hopefully he builds up a good body of talent. He has a lot of potential as a coach/manager IMO.
|
wow i didnt know he was a model too but thats gonna be interesting for sure. now both boxer and nada are doing the same kinda cool heh
|
There are so many people out there that can help him settle up a good sc2 stream!
|

Great news as I was worried he would end up going to LoL, not that I would of disliked him if he had, but I just prefer SC2. Wonder if there is any chance it would be a kespa team now that they approve SC2, which would be great if it was as another team in PL would be cool.
|
That's great news! I really hope he will succeed with his team.
|
Very cool very cool. I'm glad he's sticking with SC2
|
awesome to hear Nada will stay within esports post-retirement 
|
I'm not exactly surprised, but it's still a breath of relief. Had to be a step between progaming and retirement for someone as legendary as Nada.

Awww, they grow up so fast .
Good to see NaDa still in the progaming scene even after retirement. I wonder how this new team would turn out, especially with some old oGs players still floating around teamless.

Amazing news! I wonder what the team's name will be.

We better get some NaDa wedding photos!
Glad to hear he's going to be starting a new SC2 team, hopefully he gives a home to some of his ex-teammates from oGs

Better than going to LoL. Nobody like Nada's body.
