Best of luck. If you need/want advice about lifting and gaining weight, hit me up. I'm no talented athlete, but having put on weight myself and gotten a lot stronger, I can help point you in the right direction.

Thanks for all the awesome highlight videos of you kicking ass while listening to Parov Stelar. That's when I started watching your stream and I never regretted it. Good luck in the future, good sir! <3

I hope you find a less stressful lifestyle in the future. I try to live a minimal stress lifestyle as well. Just dont let your disadvantages in life prevent you from thinking what can or cant be done

wow I didnt know that. When we met at IEM cologne (I was one of the admins, almost an inch taller than you ^^) you seemed normal, actually pretty relaxed about all the things which were happening around the stage and on the stage.
Best of luck in the future

I am really sorry dude, I wish you the best in getting your life back together. I just want you to know that you are not alone in dealing with issues with your mental state. I have a friend who deals with social anxiety attacks and struggles with even leaving the house due to his body image.

He is on the opposite end of the scale in the sense that he is overweight and as a result is very self-conscious. But he is a nice guy and I wish to see him someday outside of a video game. Your posting there had many parallels with my friend and just wanted to say that I'm happy that you're going to the gym and taking care of yourself.

Minigun, I can say for sure that Auto-Immune diseases suck. I am only 15 years old and was bed ridden for 4 weeks and almost died from acute kidney failure and an auto-immune disease that attacks your blood vessels. After 2 weeks of dialysis and months of treatment, I am in remission and I am playing Starcraft! I really hope that you never have to deal with Crohns again and I hope (I also suffer from OCD) that you can overcome these obstacles. You are my favorite player (along with Destiny :3) and I enjoy watching you play.

Wow Minigun seems to be so much like me. I would never have guessed. The difference though is that lately he's actually been improving alot when it comes to SC2 whereas I'm....yeah...

Just want you guys to know I'm reading every reply. I obviously can't respond to them all, but I really do appreciate the support and the stories.

Starcraft is an awesome game. Just for me it was/is an escape from reality, and helps me run from my problems instead of working on them. Every day I wake up with no progress to what I really want (just the norm college job etc). I didn't wake up one day saying "I want to be a sc2 progamer!" It just...happened, and it won't get me where I want in life.

Don't get me wrong I love competition, and I always wanted to "be someone", but not at the stake of school/other life goals.

And again really appreciate the concern/support you guys don't know it, but you helped me through some rough times.

You kick ass. Keep playing--not playing in LAN's ain't no thang. Keep dem storm drops rollin' on ladder.

Also, don't stress body image shit. It doesn't matter. Most people (especially men) are average-looking bordering on ugly. It's not a problem--we can still make friends and get girls just fine.

Always thought you were one of the nicest guys on the scene, and it was good to meet you at MLG before. Glad to see you're working through things, and wish you the best of luck in the future!

oh man... im getting really emotional here...
i have crohn's disease as well and i can relate exactly to how you feel about stress and competition :/
im just happy you found a way to control the damn disease. dont give up on starcraft that fast because, after all, its not so easy to find a subject you are passionate about which makes you truely happy ;] maybe you should try to take it easy for a while and go step by step (worked for me in school :D ), probably IEM was just to big of a jump.
anyway... i just wish you all the best in everywhere you go in life. <3

Man it's hard dealing with social anxieties and depression. I've never had anything serious, but it makes just getting out of bed and leaving the house HARD. In my final year of Highschool I missed so much school because of that shit, and because of myself.

So glad to hear that you're doing well, I will always be a fan and am super glad that you'll continue to stream. <3 <3 <3
