Hello everyone. I would like to let you all know that I will no longer be casting gambit cup.

I really don't believe in drama, so I won't be posting skype chats, or trying to unfairly defame him. Simply put, we have different goal for what we want to get out of broodwar, and he feels that I no longer serve his goals as well as someone else could. It's a completely reasonable stance to take.

Eywa works harder than you (or even I) know, and deserves respect. I have no hard feelings about the decision, and wish this great team league, and eywa himself, all the success he is looking for. I would also like to wish my replacement (who I understand to be puppykiller) luck as well, and to be an even better caster than I was. Elegant was in no way part of this decision, and I have to assume that he will continue to cocast whenever his internet allows.

I would like to thank everyone who has had a part in either GC2 or 3. And I mean everyone. Obviously everyone who is involved directly: the graphics artist for professional beautiful work, dan numbers guy for consistent quality work and stratos for an insane number of intro vids (most of which you haven't even seen), and noone and daemonarchy for taking the all the nightmares that can come from organizing so many people at once and streamlining it so that neither the viewers no I ever have to see it.

Thank you to the sponsors. You love for the game has always, and continues to, leave me speechless. I am proud to have carried on what some people cared about so much, and truly hope I did well in your eyes.

Thank you to the players. There are countless games which will stick with me forever, and your struggle has entertained so many for so long. I haven't always been the most mannered to all of you, but I want you to know that it was either in fun or out of my sheer ignorance that I was being offensive (especially executor towards the end there, special apology to you). It was NEVER my goal to be mean for mean's sake, and EVERY player who has graced my stream with their play has put in countless hours and deserves nothing less than my utmost respect. Sorry if sometimes i either lost sight of that, or otherwise failed to reflect it.

Thank you to the fans. I could never explain exactly why, but I always casted better why I saw a large viewer count. Something about having a larger responsibility to more people really perked me up, and allowed me to cast at my full potential. There is no way I can express how it made me feel those times when I saw a random pm while surfing tl at school just to see someone took the time to tell me that I was doing a good job, and that what I was doing really mattered to someone. It meant so much more than you know.

I even want to thank the haters, some polite, some not so polite, and some who I don't even know who I heard about through the grapevine. The fact that you care that much about the quality of the job I was doing meant that you have a certain level of passion for BW, and that you want to see it done justice in your eyes. I thank you for that passion.

And of course, thank you to eywa.

I'm not leaving casting, and this really only applys to gambit's cup (also the smurf tour, someone is going to have to pick that up). But GC has meant so much to me as a caster, that it didn't feel right to leave without a proper good bye. I hope that GC can reach height beyond where I could bring it. I'm actually starting to water up a bit typing this now because of how much GC has meant to me not as a caster, but as a human being. Thank you all so very much.

I think you may be the first person who explicitly told me that. And it's people like you that made GC so special for me.
