Hello everybody,
I'm trying to stop playing SC2 and have quite a hard time with this. I've been quite a successful caster in the French scene, top master (top 1000 euro at a time), but am wanting to completly quit playing this game.
But it's hard, because I'm so used to watching the GSL, streams, reading TL, and all that sort of things. Even though it has only be one year, I don't feel like dropping all this habits at once.
So, even though TL might not be the best place to find people who fled from TL, I'm coming here with this question : how to quit SC2 ?
I think I should find another hobby to smoothly «transition», do you have any idea or suggestion ?
Thank you very much.
PS : And to those who will ask why I want to stop, well, it's because the more I play, the more I come to realize that SC2 isn't a «serious» game. It's (read : 1v1 ladder) not well thought for just playing and having fun improving.

Find a better hobby to occupy your time.

When I want to quit something, I "burn my bridges," meaning I destroy my ability to return to something.
So for SC2, you could de-install in from your computer, sell your CD, and block TL.net from your computer using web filtering software.
good luck.

Think your asking in the wrong place since everyone here is failing at that particular task.

Find something else to take your time definitely is key. Quitting TL...lol I wish I could tell you how to do that but I can't. I've tried when I quit TL multiple times...and as you can see I am still posting  .

I'm doing the same thing man. Well I still watch SC and browse TL a bit but not playing is a start (:
Start by uninstalling the game. Throw the disk out if you have one (you can always dl it from battlenet later, but it takes forever, which is good).
Try to limit your time spent on teamliquid and watching streams. I still do this a lot but it's not the biggest deal if you're doing other stuff at the same time (hw, picking up room, etc), or have it alt tabbed until you hear the casters going crazy. No need to go cold turkey completely.
Just find something else you like doing. I'm trying to get away from video games entirely so I read and go to the gym a lot more. And spend more time doing schoolwork in general. Just try different things and find something you are comfortable with!
Hope that helps, good luck

Ask for a permanent ban, that should stop you from posting here in TL. Also, it really does turn your mindset into a lurker then if you want to post you can't since you're banned.
I'm pretty serious, last time I got 1 week. I almost stopped checking this website. almost.

Pm me your sc2 cd key / account info. I've been wanting to play it. I'll change your password for you.
|
I can't imagine trying to quit either TL or SC... I really think occupying your time with another hobby is really the only way. Either way, I wish you luck because from everyone I've heard that tries to quit... you'll need it!
Having that said, asking TL how to quit TL is kind of the same thing as going to an alcoholic's house, opening a bottle of scotch and asking how to quit drinking.

Uninstalling starcraft from all your computers and than burning the disk works wonders. The reason being because it takes hours to redownload and repatch s2.I did that and I hardly play sc, and for some reason i am watching less tournaments as well.

Best way to give something up: World of Warcraft.
Seriously though, don't play WoW if you don't already lol. Just do what you just said and find another hobby to smoothly transition into. Find another website to visit first thing when you wake up.
That being said, you will be back

Meh, Just get bored of it, I quit SC2 for awhile because of things like school, looking for a job, and stuff, but eventually came back to it because I realized it was fun for me. If you want to quit, that means it got boring for you so what's the problem with quitting?
|
start by just stopping playing. Still watch games if you still enjoy them. Then cut back how much you watch. Say only watch matches with your favorite players instead of everything.

Three Steps:
1.Deinstall SC2, then sell or give away your Battle.net account
2. Kindly ask someone from the TL mods to permaban you, in fact, to delete your account from all existence.
3. Get a job or otherwise time consuming activity to keep you busy while you transition.
Good luck!

Easiest way to quit TL is to put the phrase "I'll probably be banned for this, but..." somewhere in your post.

Agreed. Burn all ties to SC2 and TL, and then find something else to take up all your time!
Good luck

play BW instead of SC2
yeah, that'll make you want to give up gaming for sure!
i miss BW, but i was too scared to play it properly.

If you aren't having fun playing the game then idk how quitting should be a problem o.O? But quitting TL is near impossible imo.

This is like the World of Warcraft South Park episode... How do you kill that which has no life?
