The one thing that's keeping me alive was thinking about last year at MLG Providence when I walked out of the booth and the crowd was cheering for me...Honestly, enthusiastically, cheering. Not because it was the polite thing to do or because it was expected of them, but I showed them something they liked and I got to live the dream for one sweet instant. I think everyone dreams about a moment like that or some level or another, but I was able to experience that for a moment and if not for SC2 I'm sure I'd be 6 ft deep right now. Glad you're still here with us. (: I remember that moment of yours at Providence too. It was rad, thanks for that. | ||

I know exactly how you feel. I did the same fucking thing. Remember sitting day after day, night after night on the NC, NT, Namoo, Nexus channels on US West and practiced my ass off. Its one of the few times in my now 25 year long life I REALLY applied myself and tried to be the best. But being bound by the evil spell that is the Macintosh, I was unable to bind ctrl to my mouse and felt like a was playing with a disadvantage. Couple that with no one to continually train with and being mechanically mediocre (physically) I never made it. I was shattered when I realized those korean people i played against will always be better than me. (or maybe I just lost my faith?).... Fast forward 2 years, the second curse of the Mac. Everyone migrates to PGTour from WGTour. Whoop-di-fucking-doo. I cant install the launcher and there were no one left to play with. After my half forced retirement I think Ive caught atleast 80% of all televised games from 2004-9 | ||

You write really well and your emotions really hurt. Not sure where to go from here, but...well I guess I hope you find your heart again, and discover more hopes and dreams. | ||

Every kid has a dream that fades away at some point. Starcraft may have not given you a public cheering in a starleague final, but you still gained a lot of things chasing that dream and sadly, that's not the case for everyone. You learned to be social, a skill that will be usefull all your life. I wouldn't expect someone to be good at SC2 to turn like this ! You are crying the old you, this boy who got a life thanks to starcraft. Out of respect for you and what this game gave you, keep playing and keep staying in this community. However, if after some soul searching this dream of you doesn't fade away, you know what you have to do. | ||
