Ostojiy drops out of WCS World Championships

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to make a formal post on my withdrawal from blizzard's WCS. I put a lot of effort into training and performing my best at WCS:Canada and WCS:North America, and these tournaments were probably two of my best, so making this call was really heartbreaking. Despite making the decision at the beginning of the year to put school ahead of gaming, when I was given a choice between going to one of the largest events in eSports history or likely failing a course and thus my program I was really quite torn. Ultimately there was nothing I could do to make it work with the administration so I was forced to withdraw. I apologize to everyone that supported me and was looking forward to seeing me play in China.

Best of luck to EG's Suppy, he is an incredible player with an awesome personality that I'm sure will do a great job in my stead.

- ostojiy

PS. Guide is incoming, just putting the final edits and formatting changes on it.

Hey man, it happens, nothing you can do but roll with it. That, and plan ahead to kick major butt in the next WCS (or CSL). I accept no Ostojiy substitutions, however, so while Suppy may rock I'll be looking forward to your play once everything is all sorted out.

Shame it couldn't work out, you were definitely one of the stronger competitors (Suppy's a pretty good replacement though!). Smart but hard decision; go show that class who's boss!

Too bad, Osto, but you are making the right choice. You are studying for a reason. Don't waste all that hard work for one tournament. You'll make more money from your extra qualifications than you would get from this WCS even if you won it.

It sucks, but not failing a course is the only choice even if you didn't fail the program. You made a wise decision.
