Oh well. Easy to see the direction this place is going. Well, to be completely honest (but not fair), some players have migrated from SC2 to BW recently but not the other way around. To be fair but not completely honest, when the opposite was true, many people were temp banned when they possibly could have gotten away with a non-action.
OT: I hope that Kal does whatever he wants to do now, sort of like a free dragon would. If that's BW, let him play brood war.

Well he's about to turn 24, right? Knew it was a matter of time.

From how good he got in BW and especially him forcing himself to train rigiruously for many years, you should be confident that Kal can do anything he sets his mind to. yeah man, but will isn't always enough and kal is old i mean, it seems some of the most recent bjs actually went to streaming cuz they couldnt land anything remotely decent money wise i dont doubt for a second any pro gamer that spent more than a year living in a kr bw team house has an iron will I think best path for KaL would be to study to try to get into uni and in the meantime maybe do afreeca stream? He could opt to do part time jobs like Light did before but afreeca is probably better money wise. he just needs a a bit of a boost from some of his former teammates. need someone to do what movie did for kwanro "play game make money! play game make money!" agree with this. He can study while using his break and other free times to stream a bit. Since his stream isn't as constant as some of the other streamers and he would be newer to the afreeca scene, I think he would be able to make quite a fair bit in the first while.

its a win-win! the fans get a chance to chat with and get to know more about their favorite progamer + he plays BW. KaL gets to play a game that I assume he likes and makes money by doing gso. not to mention he has a lot of his ex teammates streaming so itll open up fun get together opportunities or like battle of the expros STX vs CJ/SKT/Oz/etc lol
really need new zergs and terrans though. i wonder when effort is going to afreeca :l

Sad news. Yet understandable. Gonna miss you. Those storm drops a few years back in Gomtv man. Hope to cya in bw!

A very respectable decision. I hope he enjoys the rest, and returns to BW

Good luck in whatever you do, Kal. I hope he considers Afreeca.
My favourite Kal games:
Kal vs Flash Bacchus 2010 OSL Ro16. This when Flash was in true god mode, but Kal shows us all the power of Protoss (Carriers, DTs):

Kal vs fOrGG Arena MSL Ro8. Perhaps the most legitimate use of Scouts in professional Brood War:

Kal vs fOrGG Korean Air 2010 OSL Ro8. Reaver drops, and DT drops, at the same time. A true abuse of Protoss harassment:

BW hype time! Protoss needs another leader now that Bisu is back to his cave

This is sad to hear, it seemed like at the start of Proleague he would be one of the better players for Prime, but this sucks to see.
GLHF to him in the future.

Kal, Free, and Bisu... That's only 3 more dragons.
|
Best already retired and streamed on Afreeca for a period so that's 4. and then Jangbi also so that's 5.
So technically its only 1 more dragon (Stork).
