has "withdrawn" from progaming.

Apparently, he's been under a lot of pressure since he joined SKT and stated his wish to do something else, such as study. The team tried to hold him back because they felt he was a Zerg necessary for the team, but gave in to Kwanro's determination.

And he's been receiving psychotherapy as well as.... dental treatment? (don't really know why that's relevant,,,).

@ op: Kwanro started his absence because of oral surgery, so that's why the article included dental care.

thanks for the info ~_~







임의탈퇴 basically means that

- rights of the progamer still are with the team

- removed from the season's roster, and the progamer's contract is paused

- if the progamer wants to return to progaming, has to return to his/her original team

So unlike retiring, there is still a chance for him to return to progaming.

(I think? I'm not completely familiar with this concept, so please correct me if I'm wrong)

Are people compelled to say this in every single withdrawl/retirement thread or something? It's odd. SKT acquired Kwanro to help strengthen their zerg line, but I'm almost positive he played under 10 games for them this season. And now he's leaving...Are people compelled to say this in every single withdrawl/retirement thread or something? Liquipedia mudamudamudamudamudamuda

Kwanro... So this is what you really wanted, huh? Well if you want to go pursue your dreams, then you better go chase them!! Ahhh, this makes me so sad, but he hasn't been doing that well, so I guess this explains his lack of inspiration lately.... I had wanted to see one last game from him in WL, but I guess I'll just have to say farewell. T___T You'll be missed, but we'll always remember you for Kwanrolling others!
