Update

Killer left a message on his fancafe: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=338756

---------------------------------------------

Both (Z)Killer and (P)Brave's names were left out of the official rosters submitted to Kespa on 17th May for the upcoming Proleague season. Their retirements have been confirmed.

It seems that Killer had the desire to retire after last season and after getting knocked out of the ODT, that decision was confirmed. According to Coach Han, there were several reasons behind Killer's decision to retire, including a loss of interest in progaming, a cutback in his salary and concerns over when to enter the military.

Brave left Khan house during the off-season. Although the reason for his retirement was not given, he is expected to choose another career path. According to Fomos, there are fears that there will be further retirements in light of the changes made to the Proleague.

This is pretty bad news. On 5th May, I noticed that Killer posted on facebook that he had returned to Chuncheon, which is his home town. That aroused my suspicions but I still hoped he hadn't taken the decision to retire. Unfortunately, it was true. This makes me quite sad. However, I did not see Brave's retirement coming at all.
All the best to both of them!

Brace yourselves BW fans.

When there will be no more Broodwar, they took the honourable way out. They both had so much potential, especially Killer.

If these are the only retirements It's not nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Still sad of course.

I guess by.hero's move to Team 8 makes sense now that Killer is gone.

But any retirement is sad. I will really miss mini-Dong.

The switch to SC2 is coming soon, players who aren't 100% motivated will find it very hard I think.

Killer :<

I feel bad for the players. Their livelihood is ending and changing so quickly.

This will probably be the first of many retirements that we will see in the next coming months, with the pro BW scene ending and all, the good news is that he might be able to stream now.

He wouldn't retire to play SC 2 out of Kespa . It makes no sense , since it is the most established E - sports entity in the world. If he quit , because BW is on it's last leg , he has probably quit gaming for good .

Both seemed really talented. Brave somehow won most of his games, not sure about him though. But Killer, if he kept his nerves in check and worked on his strategical thinking, he might have been something.

As always, I'm sad to see anyone retire, but at the end of the day if they're no longer enjoying it it's much better to move on with their lives.

I hope they find success and happiness in whatever they choose to pursue in the future. Farewell Brood War warriors.
