It was a warm day in March when we met InSec. The purpose of our meeting: to have one last interview before he retired. We greeted each other somewhat awkwardly since it was our first time meeting him outside of a stadium. After brushing off the awkward greeting, we made our way toward a nearby cafe. We shared small talk as we walked down the street. Speaking to InSec in an informal context, he was more outgoing and talkative than we thought he'd be. He said that it's been quite a long time since he got interviewed in South Korea - yet he didn't seem nervous at all. By the time we reached the cafe, the atmosphere was much more comfortable and open. We mulled over where to start while we were waiting for our coffee. I had been debating how to go about this interview a whole week prior, but still hadn't found the right approach even as we sat down. In the end, I led with the most obvious question. Why Did He Decide to Retire?

Many players have taken on new ventures in 2019. GorillA went to Misfits while Ambition began the 2nd part of his gaming career as a streamer. Other players that represented the LCK are in the midst of preparing for their new start in different environments. Korean players aren't the only ones; SwordArt, the face of the LMS and the star of the Flash Wolves franchise also joined the LPL. SwordArt is a name many League of Legends fans are familiar with. He was a player that stood out the most in Flash Wolves. SwordArt made his debut in 2012 as part of ahq Amateur. In 2013, he made his first appearance in an international tournament with the Gamania Bears, but was met with bitter defeat. Later that same year, he joined Flash Wolves. The period he began to climb to the peak was in the years 2015 and 2016. There was no one to compete against him in the LMS and he had proven his strength in both the MSI and Worlds.
It was the 2nd day of the profile photo shoots for the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2019 Spring Season.

Players had the chance to show different poses, including their trademark pose with a new resolution prior to the start of the LCK.
PraY has chosen to leave temporarily; during our interview on December 27th, PraY himself put an end to the rumors about him returning. PraY seemed exhausted as he opened up to speak. The funny side that we so often saw in front of the camera was nowhere to be seen and he was at a loss for words now and then when talking about his feelings during the interview. It wasn't an easy decision, but PraY admitted that “It feels nice to live like a decent human being now.” He had many thoughts crowding his mind, yet couldn't easily speak of them out loud to anyone. He was afraid of having his true feelings told to his colleagues, family, and fans. However, he said that it was very hard for him to keep his turmoil to himself this year; that is why he, for the first time, told his parents about his true feelings. He was afraid that the end was close as he held back his tears alone.
