I feel like you left at a very inopportune time. You were gaining alot of popularity, especially since you were on artosis's new show and I and many others were becoming a fan. It's sad to see you go but good luck in your future pursuits!

Incredible, thank you so much for writing this. You were always a player that stood out to me (and always will be a person that stands out to me) because the life you've lived is so similar to my own.

Your attitude and mindset is truly inspiring. At the core of your desire to play is a simple need to master, to improve yourself. When everything else is stripped away, you and I keep returning to the fundamentals! I can see it in your play, I can see it in the way you speak.

And that is something that transcends videogames. That mindset will get you ANYWHERE in life. I know you will succeed no matter the way you sail.

And I would also hope that the one little meme he used would be ignored due to his standing and the fact that this is his goodbye >.>.

Afraid to sound corny, but this blog moved me. I understand your decision, but I hope maybe that once your life becomes stable or whatever, you might choose to pursue your dreams again. Cause I believe that is what life is all about.

Best of luck!

I remember back in X17, you said you were gonna quit Broodwar to go pro in SC2, and I was like "Yeah right, everyone is saying that." but then you actually did it. YOU WERE ONE OF THE FEW WHO MADE IT...

You had a huge hand in getting hellbats nerfed. Whinned and whined about losing to them in TvT in SOTG and meta with your buddy Demu.

You damaged the terran race and now are taking off. No good wishes from me.

? I'm pretty sure that I always said that it rewarded the multitasking player in the last few episodes I did. I was one of the biggest mechers out there before, during and after the patch.

Thanks for the support guys!

I can relate to everything you're saying, I feel like I'm in a similar predicament. Point is, I'm beginning to realize all the philosophies you've summarized in your travels, and I really appreciate your courage, independence and decisions. I wish you good luck in your future! Please let us know what happened when it all settles, so we can have a success story to look up to

Serious? You know a unit is broken when it forces a matchup into a single unit composition/strategy. Hellbats were broken as fuck in TvT, would you like hellbats to evolve into the shitfest that was WoL broodlord/infestor? Not saying they nerfed it in the right way (completely broke it for TvP) but a nerf was definitely needed. Bashing this man for saying what everyone was thinking in a thread that has nothing to do with balance really only makes you look like a cunt.

Your story was enlightening, I found myself relating to it more than I expected to. It is a pity that the NA scene lacks the infrastructure to consistently support the entirety of its professional players. And some potential up and coming players never even get the opportunity to enter the scene in the first place.
