It's not really a big deal, I just got bored of the game after ESWC. This has nothing to do with the new patch, or any problems really, if anyone is wondering. Plus, this year's schoolwork is heavier and piles upon the college application process," Aether says. Full article: http://www.wcreplays.com/ - very interesting read! | ||

He looks Asian, so something tells me he has Asian parents. That must explain the full support :D | ||

Same if anyone I know would quit or if some prominent player quits.. Instead of wondering where did they go etc. Reduces threads with that theme too~~ | ||

It's a good point, but you got to realise that WC3 is a BIG THING and certain gamers are tiny celebrities with fanboys who would really want to know such a thing. That and sites want to cover such stuff, people like to be heard, etc etc! | ||

and i don't think it's silly to announce when you retire from gaming as long as there are ppl who care (which is definately the case here). | ||

Because of the unimportance of people to the game. If one guy who has absolutely no accomplishments announces his retirement from a game, it's pretty stupid. | ||

Drone isn't a huge name (compared to boxer), would you care if he quit? | ||

He has plenty of accomplishments & fans, he's a member of one of the best teams out there (They won WC3L last season) That and a person doesnt need accomplishments to be a big shot in a gaming community ... | ||

Drone isn't a huge name (compared to boxer), would you care if he quit? I said, "if a guy has absolutely no accomplishments... it'd be stupid." That's not the same as saying a guy who has any accomplishments can announce a retirement. I wouldn't care in the least if Drone stopped playing BW. EDIT: Bey, in case there was confusion, I wasn't saying this guy shouldn't have announced his retirement, as I don't follow the WC3 community. | ||

 I still stand by that you can be a big shot even if you don't really have any accomplishments though, even as a gamer. If a person has people that want to know when and why he quits, then why not write it.  | ||

Him retiring should definitely be recognized. Also, wcreplays.com had been doing article series with him for a time, even more the reason to announce his retirement. | ||

I asked him the other day if he'd go back to wc3 when he's done with high school [me and him go to the same school] and he said he wasn't sure. It's not a no so for all you Aether fans cross your fingers. | ||

His skills against Human were very strong! mTw will miss him bigtime. He looks Asian, so something tells me he has Asian parents. That must explain the full support :D I'm pretty sure he's Chinese. That was also what kept him from going to WCG USA finals since he doesn't have US citizenship. | ||
