I'm actually really sad now. This hurt more than hearing Oz was disbanding.

This is the saddest interview I ever read on TL, it goes from bad to worse and no happy ending.

Too bad he gave up so quickly SC2, because he will be one of the best easily.
I have to return some videotapes.

God damn it, I'm so sad. Hiya wasn't even one of my favorite players, but this is too depressing of an interview to read.

Im sad to see Hiya go as a progammer but its easy to understand. When something like that happens to you, you get to see things in a new perspective and Im glad for him that he found the peace of mind to make this decision and start enjoying time with his family more.

GG Hiya maybe you can get a job as a commentator or coach in a few years

Stories and interviews like this really gives esports another perspective for me. For every BW game we watch there's an elite player who had to give up so much, like Hiya, to become as good as he is. Sometimes we just take things for granted, and its nice to have an interview like this every once in a while to remember the human side of esports. Just hopefully not too many of these because then I wouldn't be able to take it

Thanks for the translation, and at least we still get to see hiya stream for a little bit. He shall be missed.

It makes me sad, that it has to end this way for him.
But if he can look back at his time as a progamer and feel that it was a happy time, then that is maybe not the worst thing.

Still it is sad. Will try to watch his stream as often as possible.

One of the greatest entertainers in esports. He'll truly be missed.

It's odd that he gave up on SC2 simply because he lost to Forgg, an A-team BW pro whose been playing the game for a lot longer than him. I'm sure if he stuck to it, he'd easily make it to Code S in no time. I guess after everything that happened in the last few months, he just got tired of progaming and wanted to get away from all of it. Oh well, best of luck to him with whatever he decides to do in the future, but I hope he gives progaming another try after his military service.

Thanks for the memories, Hiya. I will remember your funny moments as well as the times you evolved into gyarados and stomped everyone in your path.
