Good luck, Cloud. I appreciate your participation on teamliquid both as a forum member and as a player. Hopefully you'll still do the site the honour by sticking around.

I have to admit I am surprised at all the people who seem offended that you liked BW better than SC2. But I guess that is something that happens whenever both games are mentioned in the same post.

no, he wasn't top foreign in BW either and by a long shot lol

he said he was a world class player in BW.. (meaning he was able to compete with worlds best players (kespa)).. i didnt follow brood war, but this should be easy to check, do you have any list of his achievements? how many foreigners were up to par with korean A-teamers?

All the best to you Carlo and good luck with whatever you set out to do next!

I was always surprised to see that you didn't reach the absolute top in SC2, considering I knew that you were capable of it, considering what a beast you were among foreingers in SC/BW. I'm glad I finally got to meet you in person, and I think you are an awesome person. You were one of the most genuine and honest guys i've met, and even if you had some extreme opinions I always had tonsof fun hanging out with you at events. I'm sure whatever you decide to do next, you'll be successful doing it, as long as it's something you're passionate about

I am slightly confused.

You said that playing SC2 was more like playing Poker, and that you didn't enjoy the game.
You stated with Sc2 there was more a luck factor, didn't take as much skill and wasn't really an RTS

So you are giving it up to go and play Poker, which is in your second quote is a really complex game.

Just seems to be a conflicting statement, almost like you are deluding yourself to justify the decision.

My idea of RTS is playing a game where the best player should always win. If I want to play poker I play poker. In fact I like the game a lot, but I was expecting Starcraft2 to be something different from what it is now, hence the disappointment

The fact that koreans beat foreigners 98%+ of the time and you beat them less than 2% of the time leads me to think the best player does win.
Refer to my post.

What good opportunity showed up?^^ I wish you good luck whatever it is!

I had the opportunity to be coached by some of the best italian poker players right now and I'm going to try poker with my best friend (who also is an italian rts champion) for the next year. I'm confident I will do well, and in case I don't like it I have several options prepared. It just happened right now and I thought I should have taken the chance while I could. Poker is a really fun to play and complex game and it also allows to compete and travel while making a lot more money than with SC2. If that didn't happen I would have played for the next year or two, but not more than that for sure.

It's your life and all, but I don't understand how you can chew out SC2 for being luck based and less skill oriented, and then turn around to pursue a poker career... Surely a few bad losses where you're losing actual money is going to turn your head to goop more than a few losses in SC2?
