Hi guys. This news has been made 4 days ago in Taiwan, but I think it warrants mentioning here because yoeFWHui frequently made the top 50 Teamliquid.net streamers.
"To all the loyal fans of Hui, below is a short message he wants to tell everyone:
Hello to each and every fan, I am yoe Flash Wolves Starcraft 2 Pro Gamer Yuan Jinhui. Since my failure to qualify for the Ups and Downs for TeSL, the question of retirement had been constantly circling me. For this period I had spent a lot of time considering this and discussing this even more with management (at online bank / wan-in). Many people encouraged me to keep going, and I thank you for it! Because of your support and trust I was able to stick with it all the way until now, but it's just that I can't produce results at tournaments. Even though the company still supports me trying to chase this dream of going pro, it is clear that my abilities to progress have limits, and although I really am quite reluctant, I have decided to retire.
In the future, I will continue to be working hard all the same for eSports, I am very thankful to yoe Flash Wolves management, especially 4Leaf and JoJo! Upon finding out my decision to retire, they strived and recommended that I act as a host and caster on the stage for TeSL! I can also stream all Flash Wolves events, and on stream continue interaction with everyone! I will continue working as one staff member of Online Bank's Flash Wolves!
And lastly, I want to thank the mother company Online Bank Group for the full support and providing such a great stage to allow me to blossom as much as I like! Thanks to everyone at yoe Flash Wolves Team, even though we are the competitors at different events, we will always be close brothers! Thank you to all of my fans for supporting me! I'm so sorry I failed you all... But I'm not leaving! Yuan Jinhui will continue to strive and develop eSports!"
This makes 3 Taiwanese pros that have retired in the last 6 months.
Hui has been known to be the best teamliquid streamer from Taiwan besides Sen. People in Taiwan love watching his stream, to them it's like watching CatZ here.
The last thing I have to say is, "Flash Wolves never die. They just go missing in action."
hui! I just want to point out though that Has streamed 50% or more on that account. So it wasn't exactly all hui doing the streaming. That being said he seemed quite solid ~150gm korea. It's too bad he couldnt make anything happen at offline tournaments.

Yeah. It means "dick". :D On the plus side, I may possibly stop seeing his name on the streaming list. It was awkward to look for a protoss stream, and one of the few was him.
I saw this actually when I stumbled upon his liquipedia page, and was wondering if I missed the announcement. I was never super into his stream, but he was very popular. Never fun when a popular player leaves. Hopefully he enjoys his new role and finds it fulfilling.

Taiwan's kinda weird like that. Very insular Starcraft community (other then the occasional stab overseas by Sen or smth).
it's the first time u heard about this guy because the chinese/tw players dont like to send their players out to foreign tournaments too often. unless u were the best of the best you usually just play within the boundries of china/tw. they are like their own little scene. also u havent heard of him probably because u dont watch streams too often, and when u do it's tournament.
