This is a topic that is hard for me to talk about so please give the consideration to this by not asking overly private questions the reason why I'm even posting at all is I havent been casting as much recently and this means when I do cast I get a decent amount of people asking why not? This was especially apparent during dreamhack which was an awesome opportunity and I thank them a lot for giving it to me.
But for those who do not know I live at home to help take care of my father who has terminal cancer I have been doing this for the last five almost six years. And over the weekend during dreamhack he was hospitalized again and I was unaware of how serious it was at the time since I was casting 14 hours a day and completely wearing myself out. I just got back from visiting him at the hospital talking to my mother and his doctors and after hearing how serious things are I am forced into making a rather painful decision in that if I do not take time off now to be with him I might not get the chance again.
So I"m sorry to people who were looking forward to seeing me start to cast more again as our schedule was starting to pick up again with the korean weeklies and such. But I simply just cannot right now and will be taking a break from casting in general for a while. I will get the VODs from our cast of dreamhack up first but I just simply cannot be losing precious time with my father right now because I was casting.

You're an important member of the community and the backbone of ICCUP, but family is more important than anything else. Take care and know that many of us are praying for your father.
|
Take care of your dad first man. Starcraft is only a game when you think about it.
Family is what matters.
I sincerely hope he gets better, or passes away painlessly, with his family around him.
|
You're a true inspiration to people, I hope it gets better for him and you.
*sadface*
Will miss you

I'll miss you , but family comes first and I truely respect this decision.
I hope your father gets well soon.

Good luck with everything and thanks or giving us all the time you did!

Very understandable; you should definitely be with your father.
Take care, hope to see you back in action soon.
|
Dude, anyone who gives you shit for this is a soulless bastard.
We'll be happy to see you again when you get back, in the meanwhile, take care of yourself and my condolences
|
Take as much time as you need. I personally love your casting but family comes first. Best of luck and it was nice to see you at MLG colombus.
|
All the best! Hope to see you again.
|
Raelcun, that is horrible I hope you 2 get to share the best times together with the time left... Hope everything goes well, my mother battled cancer too. She was lucky enough to survive, but I understand the fear of losing a parent, although I can't comprehend what you must be going through right now :/
Hope everything goes as well as it can. 
|
Enjoy the time you have left, personally I never had the time to say farewell to my grandmother. Take comfort in being able to make his last moments with you happy ones. Thank you for all that you've done and will continue to do in the future.
