Aight, this might be a little short but I gotta ask.

Elky, is that ElkY the poker player?
And I saw somewhere about a Testie, is that AngryTestie in SK, playing HoN?

What does the other retired SC'ers do?

Yes, that's him. A number of retired SC players went to play professional poker (Grrr did this as well I believe).
