Upon recent reflection I have realized that I have met the majority of the goals that I set out to accomplish when I began casting. For awhile now I have lacked the motivation to continue casting. I haven't posted a commentary in nearly a month.

I have with a heavy heart decided to retire from competitive SC2 casting. The field is just too saturated and fast paced. I don't have the spare time to keep up.

SC2 commentating is now a younger mans game. I expect some 14 year old wonder kid to be casting the WCG US finals this year.

Instead of belaboring the fact, I think it is best to exit while I am still somewhat near the top. Instead I will dedicate my time towards pursuing a professional career playing League of Legends or perhaps Mount and Blade: Warband

I wish you all the best of luck. Its been a blast

A shame, Klazart retired, now you. But I do agree, it's best to stop when you are still somewhat at your peak.

Best of luck with League of Legends or Mount and Blade. Should you choose LoL, feel free to message me ingame for a match, should you so desire .

We'll miss you! Diggity you are the reason i started playing SC seriously and the reason why i got back into it. You have been an awesome commentator and it was nice while it lasted. I hope you have an awesome progaming career.

-You will be missed-
