Hi Guys,

after reaching GM, there is not many more things I want to accomplish in StarCraft 2.
For me, this has been a hell of a ride and one of beauty too. With me finishing the last season in Hots on my pinnacle of play right before LOTV starts, it is the perfect moment for me to move on with my life and pursue other things.

I absolutely loved the time that I have invested into this game and I will not regret any second of doing so. I have learned a tremendous amount about life from just this game and thus decided to put out one last video before I leave StarCraft completely, giving you my best tips on maximizing performance to create the best possible learning process.

Thank you for all these years, you too Teamliquid.

A ton players left sc2 after few games as GM players I think this "trend" has started two years ago. Some have only played ~3 games then GG. The only one "cool factor" in GM is you can play vs famous players. Being GM says/is nothing anymore, but this is very hard to believe until you hit GM.

It's the first time I watched one of your videos and I had a blast. Sad you're leaving but I understand why. Good luck for the future, I hope I will feel the same way you felt when you achieved it.

Thanks a lot !

This was an amazing video. I think I actually checked it out and watched till the end because it felt like you finally had something to share. In most of your other videos, you want to share something, but don't actually got what you want to share completely yet, here you nailed it. Amazing work.

Much success in your future endeavors.
