He only tried SC2 for A WEEK... some perseverance he has. Sigh.
Nonetheless, good luck in the future.

You can't expect to switch to SC2 and be OMG GM 1 week... it's a different game.

Yeah someone who played pro BW literally 10+ hours per day for like 5 years does not have a lot of perseverance.

Looks Like his head saying that he must retire but his Heart wants to come back to his destiny as a progamer. heartbreakin situation. I think that this guy just need major support from his fans or he will regret his decision. :|

That's the WHOLE POINT. It's because he realized that he can't just switch over and be #1 in a week. So he decided not to pursue it because of how much time it would take, and he decided he'd rather spend that time with his family.

He didn't give up because he didn't think he could it. His father's death made his priorities shift. Don't disrespect Hiya because his loss has caused him to value his family more than some video game.

Well said.

I wish people would realize that the time they waste achieving nothing but a ladder ranking on a game - then they get to their early - mid twenties and have no prospects of the real world... and end up stuck in some dead end job with no future because they wasted all their time playing games.

His game vs Free on Triathlon is probably my favourite BW game of all time. So sad to see him go, such a champ



Remember this game, absolutely epic! Also one of my favourite Terrans aswell, sad to see him go.

*sigh* Hiya. You will be missed as a progamer, you gave us entertaining ceremonies in the beginning of group selection ceremonies and entertaining games by the dozens. D=
Good luck with your future endeavors. T_T

I'd be pretty drained of RTS too if I lived like that. Not everyone is going to switch over and they all have their reasons.

It's his life.

Sad news both for e-sports and for Hiya personally. Best wishes.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

Really good interview, thanks. Wax has always said he gets the impression HiyA plays for fun, just based on the kinds of builds he uses and how he plays, and that seems to be the case given how some of the questions are answered here. Very cool, wish him the best.
