Today Team Dignitas announced that KyeongHyun Ryoo would be retiring from Starcraft II.
He has stated that he will be leaving Starcraft II for DOTA 2. The Korean Terran SeleCT joined Team Dignitas two years ago, and since 2010 has produced a second and third placing at MLG, won the NA Battlenet Invitational and played in 2011's GSL.
"I am only quitting sc2, which means I am not retiring as a gamer, I love my life being a pro-gamer. I am actually thinking to switch back to Dota. I actually played Dota competitively before I start sc2. Back in dota 1, my team was one of the best NA team at some point. I am not sure how successful I will be as a dota player but I believe in myself." - KyeongHyun Ryoo (Dignitas SeleCT)
To be fair he comes from a DOTA background and he really hasn't been super active in the SC2 scene for a while as far as I can tell. Still, he picked a good week to announce it amidst all the doomsday prophecies
