Like 2 weeks ago he was rank 2 what happened? i imagine that a bunch of people start laddering for the sole reason of gaining points no matter the expense (like win trading) | ||

He was trying, he hit a losing streak, he quit. lol happens to the best of players. As I have said before no matter how good you are you will hit a losing streak every once in awhile. He hit his last night when he was trying and he decided to just call it after as he didn't think he could get the points necessary in an hour. | ||

Would be cool to see a comeback and become a top foreigner, but it's hard to imagine that will happen. I really wish it would. I've been an IdrA fan since I got into Starcraft and seeing him fall to such lows really dampens my attitude toward him. | ||

I have been thinking the same but his performance in last years WCS groups was a huge surprised. I somehow feel that he can do it again | ||
