how many greats things you gave me? I can’t recall... i meet some of my best friends because of you, and because of you i became “that guy”, the only kid in school that knew what pro-gaming was, that considered himself as a ‘gamer’ back then, when being a ‘gamer’ was synonymous of being a nerd, and you know what? I was proud.
Because of you i dreamed, i dreamed about Korea, about living as a progamer, about beating iloveoov and JulyZerg... Oh brood war, what a different person i would have been without you... You gave me bad grades, but in exchange you gave me friends and memories, really good memories, memories that i can’t explain to my classmates in college, memories that nobody except a few selected people can understand... how can i explain how awesome it was that Draco beated iloveoov on Gaia?... Or how impressed i was back then when dyo made that awesome video of highlights of the [pG] team when YouTube didn’t even exist? How can i explain to someone how important bisu was to change the course of a matchup that was almost impossible for protoss...
Now i look back and remember that you were there, when nobody was there... you were my company for so many hours, for so many days, for so many years... and the best part is that you never lied to me, if i played bad, i lost; if played well, i won; if i improve i move up the ranks; if i was rusty, i was stuck in a rank for weeks, just that simple.
I don’t regret the time i spent with you, even the Friday nights when i stayed up till 4 AM playing instead of partying...
But now you have to go, not because i don’t love you any more, is just because some other people don’t want us to be togheter anymore...
Before you go i want to tell you something, i want to tell you that i found something else, a new game, a game that may not be as good, intriguing or exciting as you were for me, but it is a challenge, just like you were back in December of 2002... And if this new game gives me half of the good things that you gave me, i will be satisfied...
Sorry for my bad english.
