Starcraft is the best game and if you ever get into the community. You cannot leave it. For life. we come for the game but stay for the community, and it really is hard to leave. I'd wager 1/4 of us don't even play anymore, at least not really. Actually I'd say 2/4 or even 3/4 sadly ![](/mirror/smilies/frown.gif) I don't play that often (maybe a few games once a month, sometimes going a few months with no games) but I don't feel like that means I don't play anymore. It just means that I either don't have anyone I feel like playing with, or that I'm busy. SC is still my game of choice.
I think the fact that people make a big deal about leaving StarCraft shows they've never really left it. Only way to leave StarCraft is to slowly drift away from it because you'd rather do something else.

My bro memorized our cd key
He hasn't touched the game in years.

Personally, I distracted myself with other things, school work, friends, etc. I never stopped browsing TL though. It's just like... since SC is so time consuming, with such a skill curve, if you never have excessive free time, and you stop playing for a month or so, you'll be so much worse than you used to be. That's what diminished my motivation to play... I was playing at D-- level.

I stopped playing a few months ago, just occasionally logging on ICC, realizing that I suck and logging off again after getting stomped one or two times. But TL I visit almost everyday, either to just check some results or when I'm bored watching a couple of VODs.

As long as 3v3 BGH exists, you will never quit.

TL is impossible to quit. Therefore by extension StarCraft is impossible to quit.

This man speaks the truth. Once you enter the realm of TL, you automatically enter the realm of SC with NO EXIT out.

Were you the guy who came up to me and a friend at Latitude55 yesterday and asked us if we knew that UCR had a CSL team? :D

It's impossible to truly quit starcraft, at least for me, because starcraft is not only a game, starcraft is a group of friends i met in real life, a bunch of websites i used to browse every day (and some i do still browse like this one), an average of 10 replays per day, and 10.000 names of players still going through my mind. And for me starcraft was even more than that, it was a period of my life (now i think is more than 9 years), a lot of dreams about the perfect match i would've eventually been able to play, or about a tournament i would've been able to win, about my parents trying to prevent me from getting addicted (how much they were right....)I have too many memories related to this game to be able to erase it completely from my life.
Now i'm living abroad, and it's a lot i've not been playing, but i'm sure that as I'll get back home I will run starcraft, maybe just to whatch a replay, or maybe to deceive myself one more time that I will eventually become a good player.
Shit I don't even know why i'm writing this to anybody's else blog, it's late here and I'm a little drunk

I think SC has been such a positive and mind opening experience; even if I never touch it again, I wouldnt consider my self as having quit SC.
