Just curious, because you joined TL.net quite late. Were you actually around when Yellow was good/in the spotlight? Are people just feigning caring because they want some TL street cred or something?
Doesn't mean anything. I joined TL late too, but I've been watching since '03. Nal_rA is the reason I play Protoss 
I've wouldn't be surprised if Yellow and Boxer team up managing SlayerS. Kong has expressed interest of working on the same team with Boxer in interviews. As long as he doesn't start a dance club... |

I'm pretty sure Yellow isn't just retiring from BW, but from progaming as a whole. |

btw why do some of you guys hope that certain BW players/retired players will switch to SC2? It's pointless wishful thinking...most of the brood war players that want to switch already have. Unless your only a practice partner or play very badly, it's kind of hard to be a regular brood war progamer and think "oh I'm going into SC2 after I'm done with this" at the same time. It's really difficult to be a good progamer unless all your attention is into one game or the other.
Because we love watching great players play Starcraft 2? And we all still actually play SC2, whereas I'm sure far fewer members here still play BW. (And in general there is actually a foreign SC2 scene, and 0 foreign BW scene, so that drives a lot of interest and desire for GREAT competitions.) And many, I'm sure, find it more fun to watch and play at this point.
I didn't find anything wrong with your post until that last line.....
Please do not say something like that ever again. You could really piss off some diehard BW fans. I for one am also kind of pissed. I enjoy both SC2 and BW. And certainly would never say anything like "oh, but ppl like SC2 better."
No, not really. That's just your opinionLast edit: 2011-06-21 05:01:20 |

A sad day, but probably the best decision for Kong personally.
Best of luck to him! |

lol. You obviously have never watched a BW game if you really mean that SC2 is more fun to watch. Either that, or you know nothing about BW and so end up being lost in every game you watch.
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read, and I'm not even being a BW elitist. I play SC2 now more than I've ever played BW. Still, watching SC2 does not hold a candle to BW. |

But look at Anytime
He is a veteran progamer that also just move back to his original team
after he finish his military service
But he is playing in the A team of Oz
And winning some games - probably cause oz doesnt have that many good players but still...
Why yellow..... !! |

this appears on the left side bar as
"Yellow announces his ret…"
i keep thinking that the ellipsis will become "return" but i click and yep, it's still "retirement" |

Anytime's pretty much one of the few exceptions. Reach, Yellow, Boxer, Nada... all the old legends were pretty much benchwarmers after coming back from Air Force. |

the fact that anytime is still winning games is actually very impressive because the older players usually don't put emphasis on practicing when they return to their original teams. They really just end up serving as a player-coach or a mentor. |

Sorry if this has already been posted (I only skimmed), but I just saw this on Reddit and thought it was pretty funny.
