This is a shame, but you've served the community well. Thank you for all of your hard work, and that of the BW people who worked with you all these years.

Are you still planning to be involved with TL on the forums in general in a non-staff role?.

Yep, i echo this. You are with us for life my friend, keep pushing out those articles :D

lol @ "indefinite". Dang, this wasn't in the contract! It's all too late, Plexa accepted my resignation! :D
But I will certainly look forward to Legionnaire's "continued" map analysis efforts! :D

Honestly, I have no clue. A lot of people probably don't realize that I have been one of the most active mods in the last 2 years, alongside Seeker as well on top of the other stuff. I'm going to try and stay active, post in some discussions or LR, maybe cast some games if I can, etc... but it may also be somewhat difficult having gone so all-in with BW for the last 4+ years. So, it's mostly a wait and see how things pan out approach.

This was slightly depressing to read.

The game has always thrived on the passion of its fans. I am grateful that contributors like yourself exist, providing invaluable coverage especially in the current age of streaming. In other words, good job and thank you for your efforts.

Sorry, but there wasn't any other way to put it unfortunately. I only made this statement because there was a lot of rumours about Jaedong going to the military back even during the ASL4 days, and there was a comment made by the commentator after Flash's defeat in ASL6 about his heath condition, and military service coming up. From that perspective, I can easily see Flash decide to go after ASL7, but I'm not really sure what's keeping Jaedong tbh considering his health conditions, and the fact that KSL was his last serious run imo.

Thanks! I do feel a sense of pride for what we've managed to accomplish. It also feels just really odd, you know. Feels like I lost, or I'm about to lose something important. TL and BW coverage has been a part of my daily routine for close to half a decade now, so the idea of stepping back still hasn't fully sunk in yet. Probably will once the next tournament starts and I'm no longer trying to keep things flowing anymore. I just hope that whoever takes over doesn't feel overwhelmed, and doesn't try to push as much as I did.

That's exactly why you keep losing and keep losing important battles, you don't keep your macro flowing and you routinely push out with small armies and go for sunken busts unnecessarily, and in the end you get overwhelmed the zerg army. There's nothing odd about that!

Also, I've got some breaking news from the hot sheets! https://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/539743-the-real-reason-why-bigfan-retired
