Anyways, at the risk of sounding like another guy that wants your cock(or sexy micro), I do sincerely hope that you're not serious about quitting. Your stream always produced awesome games to watch and it'd be a shame for such talent to go to waste. Best of luck Ret. | ||

i won't tell until then. + Show Spoiler + you won't be able to support the fact that each day that goes by while you're away from SC, your Terran vs Zerg skills will slowly but surely be eroding themselves, following a never-ending pattern right into the abyss of choboness. Each morning when you wake up, you'll know that a marine in your possession today is less effective than the same marine yesterday. That marine will get weaker and weaker, day after day, and he'll eventually extinguish himself due to old age. That's about the time when you shall wake up, in fear, sweating all over, and decide to answer God's calling. You shall reclaim your title of Commander in Chief of the foreigners Legions, and lead us all to victory. Then i'm making the announcement , allright?. | ||

I will start by trying to play much less. If you love something then it cannot possibly be a waste of time... I used to play a lot of SC and was quite a good player by Australian community standards. Never the best, but I could pull off a win here and there .... I came to the same conclusion as you.... Why waste time on something that gives no reward? So, I studied, did a degree, finished it, found employment, earn good money and guess what? Am I happier? No. There are VERY few things in life that CAN make us happy. Be glad that you found the thing that makes YOU happy... If you think that you're playing just because it's a self-serving/self-feeding habit then, by all means, stop. But, if you genuinelly enjoy the game then don't worry. THE GRASS IS NOT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!! | ||

If ruining you life means, holding you back from getting laid because you don't go to every bullshit party and bang every slut that you can, then quiting is bad. I hope you find your center ret! | ||

In the long run, you know the reward isn't there and it's not sustainable. You can continue to play/appreciate the game without it affecting your life to such a degree that other areas suffer. School/Work, health, social relationships and, hell, other interests, can and will develop to fill the gap. And I think you'll come to realise that they are just as important as, probably more so than, your love for this game. We've seen you quit and return numerous times... time to let it go. | ||

I really need to stop playing, and it's sad as hell because i love nothing in the world more! I really see where you're coming from. I have been playing SC alot as well and I guess it's maybe even worse because I'm still only C high Terran. Also you play quite alot of TvZ and that can be a very draining matchup, since there's so much multi-tasking and speed requiered. Personally I feel really drained after a long TvZ and even TvP. I have a theory that tosses have it easier when it comes to massgaming, simply because they don't need as much apm and mechanics/micro as Terran (and maybe zerg). That's perhaps why we see so many protoss users on ICCUP/Mogulus etc, because they can actually win although they suck, and don't get tired after 2 games. Also protoss is more sim city and Terran more guitar hero, to illustrate my point with a bad comparison. No wonder Artosis, Idra who both play Terran get really fucking upset when loosing, because you really pour everything into terran and then you can loose really easily due to minimal mis-micro because you constantly need to micro all your friggin units and stuff. Protoss can just move around with their zealots and dragoons, same for zerg with lings, hydra, muta. Not to mention lurkers that stay hidden and rape marines. Not much micro needed there. Marines stim, vultures lay mines, tank siege/unsiege + you need goliaths/turrets for anti-air. So much more small stuff to sweat as terran, which can make your frustration immense when loosing to some basic protoss rush or just getting mauled by a protoss who goes 1a2a3a. | ||

Six months ago whenever I would tell him I liked a replay or how he played good he would respond with 'yeah I played alright, its not like before when I was a top non-korean thou ...'. For some players the thrill is the achievement, not just the game. | ||

DAMN I've rarely ever seen a comeback that beautiful, it would be really really sad if you quit, we'd lose clearly the best foreigner out there right now, if you don't count idra as foreigner. If it really fucks up your life that bad it's understandable, but if you should quit make sure you really really make somethign outta your life ^^ I know those phases when I'm like "ok i gotta quit doing this, it wastes so much of my time" then I do quit but still waste a lot of time with other, maybe even much more useless stuff | ||
