With that said, if he comes back out and says he's actually moving to SC2 and that he just lied about leaving professional gaming then he will no longer be one of my favorites. Moving to SC2 wouldn't be so bad, but lying about your intentions is fucked up.


Even if he does, don't be so harsh on him. He's only 19 years old, very much the capricious age.

I don't think he retires to play SC2 (if he does he should just announce so) but in the future months/years maybe he would change his mind after he plays the game.

Good to retire before people realized how fluky/bad he was. . Jk...

Actually this is pretty crappy news for BW... :/

Man.....did CJ really lowball him that badly? Could it have something to do with Coach Cho leaving? I mean he always cared for his players and even wanted them to get a better salary than he did. So, with him gone, perhaps the corporation felt there was no need to give such a large sum of money since Cho was no longer around? I don't even know.....just pure speculation. Sigh.

It's less about this individual event and more about all the other recognizable faces as well leaving the game as a whole. That's strange to say because I'm a huge EffOrt fan, but the whole series of events is what has me bummed.

More power to EffOrt that hes not afraid to move away from something he can't put his fullest into, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to be bummed about the state of BW as a whole.

No shame in going out on top. I love EffOrt too, but the greater cause of preserving BW is an even bigger fish than my favorite player. If he went out on his terms, more power to him.

And just so we're clear:

Please don't go to Sc2 EffOrt. It isn't good enough for you.

FUCK FUCK CUFCK FUCK FUCK FUCK WHY LEAVE EFFORT T_T

ok well best of luck to him for the future.. hopefully his retirement has no actual link to death of bw or anything and is completely related to his personal goals.

An honorable decision, although sad if it accelerates the decline of BW. I always liked Effort.

i feel really sad now I really enjoyed watching effort. Would've been ok if he was switching but retiring is so
kind of wish gaming wasn't such an "all in" career

Read, people. Read.

The reason Effort retired was because he could not get the wages he wanted.

Why is it that every time someone retires or something, everyone thinks SC2 is somehow getting them? There's a LOT more to life than these two games for progamers looking to move on.
Follow the yellow brick road and you'll find whoever is f*cking with you.

That can't be the only issue. He didn't negotiate wages with any other team who might've been more willing to pay out for a high tier zerg (KT WHO LOST LUXURY'S EXPENSES COUGH :o ).

Even with poor pay he obviously thought of this a long time coming.
Remember Violet.

Wow I can't believe Effort's retiring. One of my favorite zergs also.

Oh well at least he can say he has beaten Flash the last 3-4 times they played

guys, do keep in mind that this is the proleague post-season, where all of this stuff tends to take place. while the advent of sc2 is certainly a leading cause in these decisions thus far, the frequency of retirements etc is far more closely related to the proleague offseason. that's how pro bw goes, don't think too much of it!
