I still remember your FPVODs of terran from a long time ago in BW. They helped me immensely back then, and since then, I had been cheering for you as a darkhorse in every tournament.

Glad you're happy with where you're going, regardless of what it is. Good luck merz!

Sad to see you go but at least you gave it a fair shot, so nothing to regret!

Good bye merz, great read.

I actually tried the "full time gaming" thing myself this summer as i had one month of complete free time, and i thought "let's see what it's like". After one week of playing 9 hours a day, despite feeling really significant improvements, i was like "no way i can do this for longer".

That week gave me a ton of respect for people that have the motivation to keep playing full time for so long, kudos to you.

GLHF in real life!

Thanks for all those hours of streaming, I really enjoyed it! I hope all goes well and you will keep making appearences in the community and maybe, just maybe you will make a comeback at some point..and in that case, rest assured you have at least one fan waiting

I think I played you in the last TSL4 and I felt pretty good cause I had kept up with you for the first 8-9 minutes before you completely just crushed my defense (no bunker!!! T__T)

but it was a lot of fun cause I felt like even if I wasn't trying to be a pro, that I could keep up in some way or another.

Good luck on the rest of your life

You wrote some great blogs, and you made something happen in your life. In ten years you will be proud of what you did.

Too bad it did not work out, but it is great to have closure in life, it really is.

All the best, i hope you keep writing!
