Hey Minigun, I've been a huge fan for a long time - watching you play on stream always helped me to get better at playing Protoss and it was always a blast to watch too.

While I think everyone in the SC2 scene will miss you a lot, it sounds like you're making a lot of really good and smart decisions for yourself. I truly wish you the best and I'm sure you're going to go onto great things.

I do hope we see you around here and on stream from time to time, and I hope ROOT makes you an honorary member or something to that effect.

GL with everything!

Hey Mini,

Im glad you are feeling a lot better. Personally, I've always loved watching you play SC2. Even if you dont want to do it professionally, I hope I never have to stop catching you stream from time to time. GL man, and good on figuring out where you want to go on life!

I'm pretty small framed but I'm wanting to get to at least 130 or so. I've started to run each morning, which actually does make you feel quite a bit better.


Eat things. Grab that extra meal, double up your burger or really if you feel like it, stuff like chocolate and doughnuts etc. You can also get some 600 calories per litre of "regular" milk - you dont have to put on weight fast, but if you are running and hitting gym 3-4 times a week properly dont be suprised if you need >500 calories/day more than you used to in order to just maintain weight, and you would probably want even more if you are looking to build muscle well from an underweight standpoint especially with added cardio etc.

Eat everything, as long as you watch sugar etc its better than being underweight, and you wont see any major short-term downsides. It may seem difficult but its really as simple as calorie intake.

As LgNKami said you will also want a ton of protein if you are trying to build muscle fast, as much as 100-150g for your weight on workout days for best result. You cant really eat too much of it, and if you dont eat nearly that much, its fine, as long as you are working out properly and have the calorie intake to keep up and back your weight gain, and a diet that is GENERALLY ok, it can be lopsided or "wrong", you dont have to stick to any rules as long as what you eat is somewhat sensible.


Love and support

Cyro

Hey Chad,

I'm glad to see you are doing well and getting back to school

I really appreciate all the help you gave me on skype and the brief reddit conversation we had. The past few weeks have been a great improvement for me and alot of that I have you to thank for.

I'd send you a message on skype but you are always busy :O

Thanks anyway dude!

Godspeed, Chad. It is the right thing to do, you put an end to the lost time due to SC2. I think quite a few SC2 pros don't dare to do what you are doing, SC2 in a couple of years will be just like BW. Korean pros and the foreign scene is small, so quitting in time is only fitting.

Put as much effort into school as you did for SC2 and you will do great!

Don't worry dude, you will get over it sooner or later. Be patience.

Also keep streaming, it was fun to watch you sometimes.

Hey Chad - always trying to watch your stream, because even without knowing you in person, I think you are one of the nicest people to watch while playing starcraft 2 and one of the few people in my opinion, who still get a decent amount of viewers without promoting yourself.

I didn't know about your health since this blog and even though these are very personal facts, I see your/the point of sharing them. I hope you have the right people around to help with your plans and support you. I wish you best of luck in the future as it sounds like going back to school may be the right choice for you.

Blah, I was just talking about you yesterday with some friends. We were talking about how much watching your stream has improved our own play and how we didn't understand why you weren't one of those SC2 superstars which you should be considering how amazing you are when we watch you stream. Guess this explains it.
You're one of my favorite players and the reason I've been able to not have like a 20% winrate against Z. And there's many more like me I'm sure.
Hope you get better soon man, you deserve much better and much more praise. (for example Idra said in an interview you were the only P he knows who figured out how to play against Broodlord - Infestors.)

Best of luck MiniGun! I can kind of relate to your problems. I just dropped out of college 2 months ago to focus on my health. I have been bed ridden with body aches and pain off and on since SC2's release. I've been having stomach problems (I suspect a gluten intolerance or celiac disease) for the past 3-4 years that I was unaware of. I dropped from 175 to 140 pounds (I'm 6'1 ) in the last 2 months because I'm still figuring what I can, and what I cannot eat so my stomach doesn't bloat up, or so I don't feel like complete shit. I do feel it's mostly wheat fucking me up, but sometimes I feel like my body is attacking itself when I eat other non-gluten stuff such as juiced fruit or vitamin supplements. I'm about to see the doctor later in the month so who knows what I have.

I learned that reducing and managing stress levels is very important for bodily functions (such as the digestive system) & aid in body repair. I suggest adding some form of daily meditation and see how it goes! There are tons of good ones that you can learn online for free.

You're the best chad! Please stay active in the scene, we love having you!
I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
