alex confirms retirement after WEM

TyLoo captain Zhengwei "alex" Bian has confirmed to HLTV.org that he will retire from pro gaming after World e-Sports Masters 2010 in Hangzhou, China.

The first report about the TyLoo captain stepping down came three weeks ago and today Zhengwei "alex" Bian tagged up with "last show" in-game against Power Gaming. TyLoo did as we know win the match, but the fact that Bian used the "last show" tag in-game, made us ask the captain after the win against Power Gaming.

During a post-match press conference, HLTV.org asked the TyLoo captain whether using "last show" in-game against Power Gaming definitively confirms he will step down after the WEM tournament. To the question, Bian simply answered: "Yes"

Asked for the reason behind his retirement, Bian stated: "I am simply too old to keep playing."
