Hello everyone,
Some of you may remember me. A few years ago (that was before the Remastered was released), I documented my journey from being a complete noob to reaching a decent C+ level on the good old Iccup.
Unfortunately, law school and my legal practice gradually left me with no free time at all to play, apart from a quick game now and then, from my own law firm in Bordeaux (France).
Now owning a few businesses and about to get married, I recently realised, with some nostalgia, that I may never be able to play again. Except, I hope, with my children: to pass on to them one of the greatest passions of my life.
The latest ASL, full of incredible stories (Jaedong, in incredible form and his latest victory over Flash; the controversies of the final against the young genius Soma; the brilliance of Leta and his Wraith micro, etc.) made me want to bid a proper farewell to our Beloved Starcraft Brood War.
So here are a few videos of my final games (in TvZ and TvP). The format is simple: epic or harsh defeats first, followed by a few micro highlights and key moments, and, finally, some victories, hard-won through sheer determination, from my "Citizen Avocats" offices (hence my nickname CitizenFilco) after work.
In the end, the noob I once was has become a decent player (C/B on the ladder, with an MMR around 1700).
My strength has always been micro and multi-tasking; but my greatest weakness has been understanding build orders and the meta.
I’ll always cherish wonderful memories of this game. I’d like to thank you all for keeping the flame burning bright!
I hope you enjoy these two short videos and that some of my opponents might recognise themselves! Let me know in the comments  !

Thank you Connor,
I keep very good memories of our ladder sessions on Iccup and the FPVODs that we shared of our games on our respective channels back then. Do you still play? Which race(s)? On which Region?
I'll contact you when I get back from my vacation (much needed) by the end of July.
Maybe we could organise a BO7 in memory of the good old times?
PS: I am an international business / tax and estate plan lawyer, in France and Mauritius. I am not a criminal lawyer :D
Actually I checked 2 years ago whether my companies could sponsor some BW content. Unfortunately it's not ethically possible, as one could expect, since gambling and legal practice do not go hand in hand. I will, however, consider how I can support the game and the foreign scene in particular.
We'll be in touch!
All the best,

Hey, congratulations on life! Just because you can't play doesnt mean you can't support the game. BSL is always in need of funding or just tuning into a streamer here and there will always be greatly appreciated. I hope you have a healthy and prosperous future and as always. Long Live Broodwar!!!!!

I watched the first game. Good format! I'll be checking up on them along the way. Be well, take care. Your investigative advocating will take as much RTS as overturning the Confederacy and Sons of Korhal combined. Hopefully you won't miss a beat and your lawyering build orders will be fine this time. It is all practice any way. GG WP.

Guys...
I know it's going to sound a bit contradictory but... I simply could not stop playing BW...
Becoming a lawyer or planning my marriage is no excuse.
I love this game SO MUCH!
Right ater I published these "Farewell" videos I... bought a new computer, a new mic and I started grinding the ladder hard.
I just started a new playlist on my Youtube Channel. It's about my new (and probably last) challenge of Starcraft: to reach the B rank on the ladder. It's all about overcoming my struggles, training hard (and, most umportantly, smart) to go from "confirmed" (around 1.700 MMR terran) to "Good Player" (around 1.800/1.900 MMR).
Constructive criticism is more than welcome!
I already uploaded a few of my recent games.
These may not be so interesting for the real Bonjwas out there, but it'll be fun and informative for new players and C/B fighters out there.
It's all about sharing the love for the game... from my law firm in Bordeaux, France, after work hours!
