From reading your blogs I've gotten the feeling you put all your passion and heart into pro gaming, to see you now retire feels really sad, but understandable. I wish you the best of luck Carlo, and I hope that you can find something worthy of pouring your heart into, just as you did with BW, I'm sure with your passion and dedication you can succeed in anything.

it's funny - i come alot on reddit/r/starcraft, and alot of them hate you quite alot - and i was trying to explain to them, that they should apriciate a guy saying it like it is - but yeah, just keep being blunt about things, it's a rly good quality - good luck.

exactly my thoughts.

I don't care if he's gone or not, he kept sayin that these are bad players with bad mechanics, but loosing to GoOdy over and over again just shows me that he has in fact no clue what he was talking about. I bet Korean Pros would laugh at his mechanics when they see him playing StarCraft BW / StarCraft 2.
ClouD never achieved anything big or even constantly winning anything, sorry ClouD, you're not a loss for me or atleast in my eyes for the community.

"I know very well within myself I could stand above any non korean progamer if I put enough dedication into it."

This attitude you have is what always annoyed me about you, because you always showed exactly the opposite. Sure, you believe if you only put more dedication, you'd have show it, but IMO you're deluded and the sooner you understand the better for you.


Exactly


But for your real life, keep on fighting like you did in your Broodwar days. That's pretty much all I've to say

To me it sounds more like he switched to protoss, realized that all of the stuff he ever said was bullshit, and deep down realized how ashamed he is because of that... and then he quit.

I liked cloud for his bluntness, but the amount of bullshit was strong in this one, to say the least.

1. You're Protoss in SC1 which doesn't mean much
2. If SC2 is so random how come Flash was eating foreigners for breakfast in MLG.
3. Goodbye

Well, the same way you gave us advice, I'd just like to give some advice back, in the best possible way.

I know very well within myself I could stand above any non korean progamer if I put enough dedication into it.


A lot of times in life, when you express an opinion, what you say can be equally important, as to HOW you say it. Even if what you're trying to communicate, has the best intentions, it's amazing how differently people respond when you actually express an opinion in such a way that shows no cockiness or personal ego. You probably already know that, and I'm not trying to bash you, and I know your actually giving us advice on that topic, but your comment above shows cockiness and ego, and perhaps you don't feel that way, but that's what your communicating. Also, a ton of foreigners can probably make the same statement and be more convincing... no offense.

Honestly to me, used to such a competitive game as Starcraft, it felt more like playing poker rather than a real time strategy game.


Results so far in the Starcraft II era, for sure don't show that it's a luck based game. Yeah... sure there's luck. No one can deny that. But I can confidently say it's not even close to how much luck based is poker. And honestly you won't find almost any sport out there that doesn't have at least some luck involved.

It's easy to get caught in the flow of what people think and their judgement and I ask the people here to think a bit more carefully before judging someone you don't know,


I think that should be advice both to us and to yourself, cause you have been bad mannered yourself in the past. And how do I know this? We've played a lot on the ladder and you weren't that nice to me...

Anyway I could point out a couple more things, but I'll end on a good note. Good Luck in whatever you do and Have Fun doing it.
