That sucks, I enjoyed watching him stream. So many Zergs streaming not enough Terrans that I like to watch. Liquid kinda needs to pick up 1-2 more players if you ask me. EG has just been signing people right and left.

He's been hinting at me for few weeks. That he didn't like this game and wanted to stream Afreeca. I never thought it was real until he told me few days ago that he was retiring and going to stream BW on Afreeca.

All I can say now is "gl hf gg".


If that so, not everything is lost. Gotta tune in afreeca restreams

This is a big loss to the scene. Sea was one of the nicest guys in the business. I'll join the rest of his foreign fans in wishing him good luck in whatever he decides to do next.

I just remembered this from the old BW power rankings:

+ Show Spoiler +
Sometimes, the definition of "Power" changes so drastically that weird things happen.

Weird indeed, that Sea[Shield] is at the top of the Power Rank without a title to his name. Friends, Power can means a lot of things. A Powerful build order can win you a StarLeague. A Powerful mind can keep your career long and properous. A Powerful heart can endear you to the masses, and create a wave of fanatics frothing at the mouth just for a chance to cheer you on.

Yum BoSung has the most Powerful heart of any progamer on the scene. For the last several days, Sea has graciously spent time between practice with his adoring english-speaking fans, playing all manner of games. That includes a brutal 2-0 of your hero, sMi.FakeSteve, that consisted of utterly flawless (and I do mean flawless) control over the growth and prowess of his armed forces. Sea's TvT is perfection wielded as a weapon of unimaginable power, something I have never been on the receiving end of before.

Sea's TvZ is a sinister love affair between Casy's aggressiveness and iloveoov's macromanagement. You think you've seen TvZ? Watch Sea vs Hyuk on Othello, a game that transcends build order and mechanics and settles promptly down to raw, unrelenting will to win.

You think you're familiar with TvP timings? Sea frequently screams out of his base with a massive amalgamation of units and delivers his Protoss foe into the eager hands of the Devil himself. Sea is the reckoning and judgment itself for the hapless children who choose the race that carrier rushes.

Yum BoSung has captivated the entirety of TeamLiquid.net with but a few days of generous (by his schedule) interaction. A fresh crop of fans have seen the light, have snapped out of a dreamy sleep of ignorance during which they cheer for... *scoff*... other players. Sea is the single greatest StarCraft player to ever walk the earth, for reasons that go above and beyond the game itself, and certainly beyond the call of duty for a ProGamer.

Sea[Shield] is #1 on the Power Rank this month, and #1 in our hearts, this day and forevermore.

Reading between the lines in Nazgul's statement it is clear that he wasn't happy with SC2 and the direction it is heading with Hots around the corner. Blizzard needs to get their act together and realize that their succesor to WoL is causing people to retire.

We terrans want more mech play and less 600 apm bio. Unfortunately it seems that the later style will be more powerful than ever at the expense of positional mech play.




how did u manage to turn this into a balance whine?


I didn't. How did you manage to interpret it as balance whine?

I just said that there are many terrans that would be super excited about playing mech in TvP that has been disappointed with how SC2 is turning out. I made no statement about the actual balance.

People like you are why it is hard to have any meaningful discussions on TL.


People like you derail Liquid'Sea's retirement thread to complain about HotS.Which is going very well (even for terran strategies) btw. Have you tried it?

Didn't see that coming...it was so quick!

It makes a lot of sense, though, and I wish Sea all the best!

seems a bit unprofessional to me too....



What was he supposed to do? Not accept offers as they came in right after BW ended? Stay with a job that he didn't want, when he could legally quit it?

I would guess he is switching to LoL because if he wanted to play Dota 2 he could have stayed on TL..

well that's sad. i know i was thinking that he couldn't possibly get alot of quality training with all his streaming, seemed he didn't have super high ambitions. makes sense now.

Lol. You are the one derailing the thread.

Sea not being happy with SC2 is the reason for his retirement. It says so in the OP. Did you read it?
