You and Select were the two players I originally based my play around. Sad that you're both out of the competitive scene now.

you're a very skilled player and when I found out your age, I was even more impressed.

good luck for the future.

First heard of you as the really, really young guy from NYC several years ago. You've been a great ambassador to Starcraft II, yourself and young gamers internationally.

Best of luck.

Would you have delayed not made this decision had WCS remained Region locked providing players such as yourself more realistic opportunity to compete in such a prestigious tournament?

Anyways, gl for the future pokebunny, what you have accomplished in SC2 really is something to be proud of. You were at a lvl that over 99.9% of all SC2 gamers wish to be at.

It's never good to see any player retire, but it's always good to have them stay within the community.
I wish you luck in all your future endeavors.

It was fun watching and following you, but its more important that you pursue what's best for you at this time.

You know what, look at it this way. Your experience and pursuit of progaming is kinda like a surrogate for other people's desires to do so (or mine, at least) in that, I didn't have the capacity to realistically pursue that goal while younger. But I can watch, follow, and support you - who does. And its great, because it reminds me of another time, when I'd play BW really competitively and focus only on that, dreaming of being a SC2 progamer. So, you've played out one of my hearts deepest desires, so if anything, it's been refreshing watching your journey.

But:
I definitely also plan to be more socially active in the future and make sure I surround myself with lots of great people and always have things to do and places to be.


This was very much my attitude when I transitioned BW->College (and yep I dun seen your College Acceptance Thread Posts). And you know what? Watch out to not bounce back too far in the other direction too. I was really absorbed with BW in HS, so I rebounded really hard. I replaced the passion I had for gaming with lots and lots of social involvement. But I substituted badly. I overcompensated for my previous lack of engagement, with what I'd say was 'too much' involvement. Going cold-turkey on playing (BW), I got involved in 15+ activities/meetings a week (2 committees). On top of living in a flat and skipping ahead a year in College.

Big change, but it came too fast and I didn't cope well. I was too involved, and never had any time for studying, or even resting, because I was too busy "always hav[ing] things to do". I still haven't managed to strike a ballance, what leaves me enough time to read, play with puzzles, or relax. So in departing from heavy gaming, be careful to not over-compensate, thus overload your facilities and make yourself crash. I would be so worn out and stressed, I felt too guilty to study or relax properly, and so I'd relapse into playing sporadically and watching useless streams I really didn't care for (but that were 'something to do, to fuel my need for comfort, by relapsing to gaming addiction') till the early hours of the morning.


Get this: it is good to open up and be more involved with people, but be sure to not take too much too quickly, thus stifling your own growth because you're too focused on trying to become something different, rather than allowing yourself time and space to grow/relax. Surrounding myself with tons of people and commitments didn't make things all that much better. They were different, yes, and 'more social', but you've got to be careful to do it right.


Geez this should be a blog. All the best, good times: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=129986

GL in the future Poke, just be careful of what bITt said above me, it is very easy to fall into that trap. Add on slowly, and make sure you can handle everything in your new styled life .
