　　Aaron 'Bischu' Kim will no longer be the mid laner for Challenger team Cloud 9 Tempest. The Nidalee maestro announced his immediate retirement on his Facebook page, stating going back to school and the unsuccessful LCS qualifier as main motivators behind the decision. However, despite his academic obligations, Bischu will continue to stream full time.

　　Bischu is mostly known for being one of North America's best mid lane talents and his mastery of Nidalee, a reputation which followed him all the way to Korea. To find out more about him, you can check out a great 'Reflections' interview my colleague Duncan 'Thorin' Shields did with Bischu right here.
