When I used to play Protoss your stream was one of the more insightful ones, you have a very calm voice and that alone helped me stick around to watch you. I never knew you had such problems, though I know you're not the only one, I'm really shy myself and I have huge anxiety problems. I wish you the very best in your future, Minigun. And I'm glad that you're sticking around if "only" just to stream, coach and play for fun! =)

your too good to stop playing, whatever happens just keep in on the side as a hobby.

In terms of upping your weight, im in the same boat, hovering between 120-130 lbs except im stand between 6' and 6'1. unfortunately going to the gym will not increase your weight (at least it didnt for me) and running definitely wont (although if its making you feel good keep going). ill give you the same advice ive read 100x over. Eat alot, 4-5 meals a day, everyday.

Different things work for different people TT

Regardless, best of luck to you and your goals minigun! <3

Sorry to hear, mini! But you've been one of my favorite players for a long time and that's not going to change. Feel better and I'll be sure to watch you every time you stream, cheering you on.

The best of luck to you, Minigun. Take care of your health and focus on your future and life. It has been a true honor following your SC2 career, which has been pretty damn impressive. Specially after reading your blog, every single one of the things you mention is really hard to deal with and you fought them all at the same time. Being a public figure in addition probably didn't make the stress any less.

As much as we will miss seeing you compete in offline events, your health is what's important, good decisionmaking

Thanks for providing so much entertainment over the past 3 years!

It saddens me to see you go, even though you are protoss hehe jk...I really enjoy watching your warp prism harass, Colossus drops and the imba forcefield donuts! I always watched you on destiny's stream. You'll be missed.

Chad, I don't know if you read all these comments, but I've watched your stream for as long as I can remember. You were actually the first person I started watching when sc2 beta came out. It really hurts to see your past conditions, but I'm truly happy that you're started to make good progress. In all honesty, you're my favourite sc2 player and overall a huge inspiration for me. It's also really cool to see so much support for you in this thread, so I'm also pretty thankful to the community for that.

Anyway, I wish you all the best! Try to stay in touch with all your fans.

Cheers!

As someone with Crohn's Disease and severe social anxiety caused by it, I feel for you man. I was diagnosed when I was 12, so 6 years ago and it just made all school a living hell. Having to deal with the anxiety caused by social situations and the constant absences was terrible.

Just trying to say, I feel for you and hope you do what makes you the happiest, cause fuck Crohn's Disease. If you ever wanna talk about it or something, just PM me on TL. <3

Chad I've been watching your stream for 2 solid years now. It's pretty much the entire reason I started coming to TL regularly just to see if you were streaming! I'm pretty sure the entire reason I made an account here was to defend you against people trying to say that you weren't as good as I happen to think you are. I was lucky enough to get modded in your stream chat and I don't miss a beat to come check out your stream when you're on and I've even made friends that I talk to pretty regularly through the use of your chat. I've always been a big fan of yours and it sucks to hear that you've been going through some rough shit. You seem like one of the nicest sc2 players out there and I can't tell you how much I'm rooting for you to get better mentally, physically whatever. Hope things start to look up soon, and I hope it helps to realize how many people you have rooting for you because they think you're a genuinely cool person. Get well man.

Hi Minigun,
I just wanted to write this message to wish you the best of luck with your goals within and outside of starcraft. I've been a big fan of yours and really enjoy watching you stream. I can relate to you because I've also dealt with social anxiety and body images before. I don't have Chrohn's disease,but I started workout out a few years ago at 127lb (5'9) and am now at a healthly 185lbs. It's helped my confidence a lot. I hope fitness can help you out like it helped me out

.

GL man.

You were the first streamer I have ever watched in SC2. You are maybe the reason why I play Protoss. I wish you the best of luck in future and hope you will achieve your goals. InFlow Minigun
