I think you should stay and prove the game is as easy as you constantly claim it is. You've never actually shown that you can be anything remotely close to a top-tier pro.

If you don't enjoy it, though, then don't play it. Saying "this game is easy mode, but rather than win lots of money I'll just quit" just comes off as immature, and frankly, retarded.
Out there, the Kid learned to fend for himself. Learned to build. Learned to break.

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.


If that's not asked to much: Online or offline; sngs, mtts or cashgame and plo or nlhe? Do you think you can keep your emotions out of your game and your results out of your life?

I would say " believe in yourself, you re able to do well" but I think you already believe in yourself enough lol.
However I would also say "Watchout, you can be blunt sometimes" but I thin you are already aware of that.

So GL in poker but meh, no need, you ve got already the skills from sc2

.
A friend is someone you know well and still love.

I don't know you in person but you were very rude / whiny / BM to me in the ladder games we played, I hope this break from pro gaming will make you enjoy the game more as a casual / non-pro player.

Good luck Cloud! Although I dont really think you need it.



About the whole being-blunt thing:
Yes, you can tiptoe around other people egos/feelings etc. But honestly, you cant be friends with everyone. Or some people just dont have the need to be friends with everyone. So as long as one can live with other people being blunt towards oneself in return I dont see a problem.

I know very well within myself I could stand above any non korean progamer if I put enough dedication into it, but what kept me from doing so in Starcraft2 was the fact I don't enjoy playing this game at all.

This made me like you less. It is very childish and unrespectful of you to say no other foreigner has as much talent as you, especially becaues most of them achieved so much more in sc2 than you ever did. I will sadly remember you as a balance whiner that overestimated himself too much :/
Still good luck in life and everything, i hoped you would have written something nicer at the end.
