Milkis, my opinion of you has always been a great one. You are a great representative for what our community believes in, however quitting because somebody else irritated you, changes my perspective quite a bit. If you go back on your word and come back, I will have looked at this as a means to bring attention to yourself. If you don't, I will look at you as a "cry baby". I understand that it must be hard for you, but it's hard for everyone, it doesn't mean we just give up, instead we just change things for the better. Do what you want to do, whether or not people like it, because there will always be fans and haters regardless of where you end up.

I mean no disrespect, good luck in your future endeavors.

With the elitist attitude you have, Milkis, you shouldn't be involved in eSports. Best of luck in your future, you made the right decision to leave.


He didn't say anything was horseshit at all. Way to misconstrue it. He just put the bar at being an esport at or above what BW is right now for some decent reasons, then gave 90% of his post to describing the past BW scene.

Then people got all angry because hungry-hungry hippos with MaxisOnline is now not an esport.

Hey Milkis, I think you're being harsh... can't you see it?
You know that thread you made... do you believe it?
About how you think Brood War is more valid

Like you didn't know better, like your judgdment was clouded
But now it's too late; you've made a thread and it's resounded
And all we wanted was a lousy clarification of it all
But instead you took your Twitter and your Reddit off the wall
We love you Milkis, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
See Milkis; [*screaming*] Shut up bitch! I'm tryin to talk!
Hey Milkis, that's ESPORTS screamin in the trunk
But you didn't take it down... you just hurt it, it's just like you

He'll be back. He got the taste of being an "insider" in the SC2 community and in a couple of days he'll miss it. The fact that he let random opinions on the internet dictate his path in life is pretty sad considering how much vocal support he had.

If he doesn't return, I sincerely hope he doesn't have a future career in the public eye. The shit he got in this small community is a drop in the Atlantic Ocean compared to the real world. GL

Both those guys have done more for E-Sports then him, and he just basically went and slapped everything they have done over the past 10 years n the face.

Yea I'd be pissed too.

This is the biggest overreaction ever and pretty lol, he says he never wanted fame, but as soon as he got it he used to it push his views multiple times (ex: TSL/EG, Esports, etc).

I thought he was a really humble and cool dude, but if he can't handle any negativity then this is not the industry for him.

You did not read the Reddit thread. djWHEAT strongly disagreed with Milkis' extremely elitist thread about how BW is the only eSport, Slasher posted in the thread about Milkis leaving telling him not to leave. Get your facts straight.

Well, a closing song is due, unfortunately.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

It's not possible to be visible character in scene without occasionally getting trashed. If it's too much to hear undeserved criticism from time to time, suppose it's not possible to stay high end character in scene. You know if there's internetpoll about ANYTHING, there'll always be 1% who disagree, even if it's about getting world peace up. Minorities tend to be noisy, and you just have to be able to ignore them if you want to be part of the scene and a visible character. You think people like incontrol have deserved the constant hatemail he gets? Seems like the nicest guy after all, but there's just no way to not get some hatemail as a recogniced person.

do you understand how fucking condescending and disrespectful to everyone involved with these games this is? It shows just how ignorant he is outside the world of BW, and he was called out on it. Imagine the kind of response someone would get if they said they same thing about BW and posted it on TL.

Dont listen to haters ! Milkis...
As a former quaker that switched to BW late 2k8 and sc2 when the beta arrived:

I CAN tell that no other game can compare to BW.

Btw wheat saying that other gamers can compare to S class players (savior, bisu, flash, jeadong ect) is such a joke...I mean I fucking love toxjq, but even him cant compare to the amount of practice they had to do to get to that point, i dont even think you can compare him to B class players...

I wont even comment on counter strike and some other games that have nothing required to be a good esport outside of the popularity.

Milkis I almost never post on here but I just want you to know that I deeply respect you and everything you do for this community. So does everyone else. I've spoken with my clan and Barcraft goers about you and everyone has the same level of respect and admiration for you.

Do you want me to be completely honest? When I was still new to all of this and I was watching you translate live on a stream, I made a joke to a friend of mine about how you seemed shy or nervous or something. He SNAPPED at me. Yelled at me even, that I would not allowed to say anything bad about you and to shut the fuck up. I learned right there that I was wrong and in the time since then I really do have a tremendous amount of respect for you.

Respect like that is earned, never given, and you have that respect from 99% of us. Don't let that 1% that doesn't yet understand get to you.

This is exactly why community members and professionals should not read forums and blog posts about them. There is nothing but haters and people wanting to be critical.

Milkis you did fine. Hope you come back.

I didn't really followed what happened. To me, Milkis is the cool translator who bridged the gap between the foreign and Korean scene. Getting MKP to MLG, providing stellar translations - thats who I know Milkis as. Sad to see him go =( I think there will always be a place in the community for him, should he want to return.

앞으로, 욕한말을 걱정하지마라! Milkis 역자가 진짜 대단하고 아끼 자 않는 사람이다. 님내, 아자! ^^ (죄송해, 난 아직 한국어를 배우고 있다. 아직도 유창하게 못한다).

화이팅!

Can someone show me a link of what even happened to create this situation?
Missed it completely.

There is no doubt that Milkis did some awesome stuff and his name got a late bigger.

But if your names gets bigger your opinion also matters more because a lot of people listen to it, and that's when u have to watch out with what ur saying.
So yeh... if u say something controversial u are gonna get shit for it.

If every1 cared about some haters there wouldn't be progamers anymore cuz every1 would retire in the next 5 minutes.

Fact is that it's easy to say stuff on the interwebz, you read something u don't agree with?
''OMG ARE U RETARDED WHAAA'', in real life u would get hit in the face if u react like that :p.

That's why most people don't care about haters, it's just a bunch of randoms.
If u do care about them u should either fix it or indeed just quit cuz you won't have a good time.

Every1 is allowed to have their own opinion, but if u are an established name in the community and your opinion is quite controversial off course people are gonna call you out on it, that's the way it works. U gotta be able to handle that

I agree, if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
