I also have really high expectations from myself in my life and absolute confidence in my abilities to succeed in anything I decide to do and the best thing for me right now is start something else and make it blossom with what I learned from my invaluable gaming experience. I am going to move on and leave electronic sports behind. It was absolutely amazing and I want to remember it that way.


i hope every single person read this.

this is a very important part of what he was saying. the confidence to succeed is all you need to be something in this world, and leave your mark in life. he is taking some of the most important lessons from his pro-gaming life and applying it elsewhere, which in a way is a lot more important than winning $$$$$.

good luck cloud, you're gonna be the best at whatever it is you pursue.

Cloud is one of those names you never expect to leave. I'll miss his play and all the excitement he brought in and out of the game.

Glhf in real life man.

I dont know why you're leaving when terran is so strong. And u switched to protoss. Dont know it looks really stupid, because you were whining a lot during the times when zerg was winning everything. Anyway good luck.

Awwww, sad news. I've always been a big fan despite the fact that you played the dirty race (referring to P, in BW).

Good luck with whatever you decide to do from here on! ^__^

One of the only pro-gamer who has the guts to say what he thinks about SC2. Utter shit compared to BW. Also, one who is not afraid to say Terran > Protoss in terms of skill requires (I did the switch myself, and even when I was protoss, I knew I was playing the baby race).

Cloud, I wish you the best of luck in real life. Esports at the moment is still more like a child's dream than a career. However, if you were top foreigner in BW (i did not follow BW), it is clear that you have the dedications and the talent to start a real career.
Dead game.

"The game is so appealing because it's not between the person and a computer or another human being, you just try to beat yourself over and over, and when you do it feels great and you want more of it."

this is why BW is so great

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.

You are talking to one of the best foreigners... /facepalm

As he said he isn't enjoying the game and when you dislike a game that you are supposed to be the best and improve at it's kind of hard to do it...

it would be nice if people actually read the blogs before posting...

I would call that a bit over an exaggeration, ClouD was good, as good as a lot of foreigners, but he was hardly one of the best foreigners. Maybe he was in BW (I'm not that much of a hipster), but not in SC2. Maybe he could have been with passion, but we will never know.
