Retires





After a disappointing 9-12th finish at TI6, Hao has decided to "retire" for about 6 months or forever.



On his weibo account he said the following:



I played professional for so many years. It is too tiresome and I decide to take half year off, or maybe retire forever. I have won and lost TI, it is all in the past. Sorry that I let my fans down this year. I am really sorry. Hope you guys can get used to the days without me in the professional scene. And please continuously support me, I will show-up sometimes, just not in the professional competition.



Original text in Chinese:



打了那么多年职业，累了，先休息半年，或者也有可能一直不打了，ti嘛，得过，也失过，反正都过去了，今年让支持我的粉丝失望了，由衷的说声抱歉，希望日后你们能习惯没有我比赛的日子，也希望你们能继续支持我，虽然不比赛，但我还是会让你们经常看到我的

Whatever the case, I hope this break really is just temporary and he eventually comes back stronger than ever. Always been one of the by far most fun carries to actually watch play, so I'd hate to see him gone for good. fuck dota 2 | "i don't like ppd, and i really look forward to one day beating that motherfucker" -Swindlemelonzz, my personal hero

BurningSera Profile Joined September 2010 Ireland 11119 Posts #15 It is his worst TI (of all the TI he attended) so i can see how he felt so disappointed...i do think long-time player needs to take some break from the comp scene to recharge themselves. Coming back or not is a different issue. is 2017, stop being lame, fuck's sakes. 'Can't wait for the rise of the cakes and humanity's last stand tbqh.'

Almost all of the money is available from March through July anyway.

It's unfortunate for him to be honest. If you back during April-May when Newbee had that streak of 29-0 or some extraordinary record then lose to liquid 3-2 at Epicenter, plus the Manila Major coming 3rd. If only newbee had that form and momentum up at the main event, but they probably were burnt out from the previous events. I hope he gets a good break and comes back fighting.
