Backho, hours after the match against Samsung Khan, announced his retirement through Cyworld.
I'm retiring. I will no longer be progamer Son Chan Woong, but just... plain Son Chang Woong. I'm thankful to all of you from the bottom of my heart.
Backho has been suffering from problems with his back (likely herniated disk) all the way from last season to this season. According to Daily E-Sports, he will soon be entering the military and then will be going to a theological seminary.
Are you serious??? NOOOOOOOO Ever since that 2008 OSL Semi-final appearance, even though it was a fluke, I wanted Backho to do well. Too bad he hasn't won anything ....but I guess same could be said for 90% of progamers.
I still remember the backho july semi finals 4 years ago where people tried to hype backho up as some sort of new protoss champion and failed in the hype thread. Good stuff. Sad to see him go because he was very entertaining in the ways he completely self destructed.
