Singaporean veteran, Benedict Lim “Hyhy” Han Yong confirmed through Zenith’s Facebook page his retirement.


hey guys, been awhile.

Like i mentioned briefly back at TI2, ive decided to retire from competitive gaming. Its nice to know that my absence will not go unnoticed, and i really appreciate all the heartfelt best wishes.

Zenith will continue raping under Captain Boxers, and who knows maybe u guys will catch me next year at ti3 if i feed icefrog enough money.

Thanks for everything friends

-hyhy


The 22-year-old Singaporean announced through Zenith’s Facebook page that he will no longer play competitively. During the second edition of The International, the former Scythe and Nirvana.my prodigy hinted at his retirement.

Iceiceice will most probably continue Dota 2.

It's sad to see him go, he was always a great player to watch. What is Loda going to do If zenith does disband?

As Hyhy mentioned they will play under another tag. The main question is, who will replace Hyhy :S

iceiceice said while streaming that it's currently just him, xy and xFreedom. He mentioned that HE THINKS loda is going back to sweden but he's not sure if he's coming back or not. pretty sad news though.

Was he unmotivated to play the game?
.
22 seems a bit young to retire altogether from DotA. Good luck to him.

Still a Milestone he is, wish him all the best in the Future and like someone said before, you can't get away from Dota it's just to tempting to play it.

he'll be back imho, I think he just has to finish his education & achieve some sort of progress in life. (college,post graduate studies /shrug) His parents think competitive gaming is bringing him down.

I have plenty of Asian friends who experience the same situation.

it seems you have to either be a doctor or a lawyer to satisfy parents. it's the mentality of alot of Asian parents.. to be successful in life, you need good grades, and a bunch of titles behind your name.

alot of Caucasian parents show their support by saying: Follow your heart, do what makes you happy
alot of Asian parents: Do this, don't do that, and you'll be successful.
stark difference in the way they show support.

any way, I wish him luck & fortune fast so he can come back quickly too!
maybe next time he gets on the news he'll be HyHy PhD MD Esquire Attorney at Law

Icefrog - a myth, a memory, a shadow. We seek him, but he is not there. He watches, but we are not aware. He is Icefrog, the shadow of the game. He is Icefrog, he is but a name.
