I think the new dynamics of SC2 suited some players worse than others. And one of them was undoubtedly Tyler -- who was always more of a management type of player with perfect build order execution and just... perfect economy management in general.
When I look at the most succesful players in SC2, they all have the following in common:
They spend like 90% of their time staring at their army (through streamlining their play and effictivizing actions they buy themselves the time to do what actually has the most effect in SC2: moving and microing your army looking for a superior engagement).
Look at someone like stephano and you will be amazed at how much time he spends ordering his army around and... simply staring at his and his opponents army... setting up favorable position after position after position until his opponents finally lose their patience.
When you watch Tyler and others stream (including me to a degree), we spend way too much time on the management side of things. Especially Tyler when I've viewed his stream -- won't move around his army a whole lot. He relies on his build orders and his execution of said build orders (which tbh doesn't give much of an edge anymore in SC2).
Don't take this as bashing but rather as constructive criticism. Economy and Production management is... not effective to focus on in SC2. Relentless army movement, constant prodding and constant positioning and re-positioning is what will reward you.
You gain very little in ways of economy or army leads by merely being good at perfect management. Which is a shame for certain really talented players like ret and tyler (even ret has said he has a really hard time playing the BL/Infestor style, because his engagement skills are just inherently worse than some of the top zergs').

gl Tyler, best of luck to you!
|
i really hope Tyler rediscovers his motivation to play and improve, would be a shame to have him gone forever.
So best of luck to you in the future Tyler, looking forward to your stream! 
|
Fare thee well Tyler. You're a cool dude.
|
This is pretty crazy. I thought you might take some time off from the team but never expected you to actually leave it. This is pretty insane. I hope things work out for you man. We are all cheering for you.

Best of luck Nony, it would be fantastic to see you regain the presence you had in BW.
|
best of luck nony. hope that one day you do your crazy livestream of running 24 miles. eating 24 krispy kream donuts and playing starcraft or whatever the madness you had planned i cant really remember but that woulda been a riot to watch and cheer you on.
now ill just have to root for you to regain your intrinsic as you put it.
|
gg Nony, best of luck in the future!
|
Good luck in future endeavors.
|
Nony is one of the very few non-zergs I've always been a fan of. Sad to see him leave Liquid, but obviously still a huge fan
|
I'll never forget NonY's victory in TSL2, was such an excellent achievement. Best of luck to you wherever you're headed Tyler.

Cheer up! He isn't dead or anything like that.
He not even quit SC2, he just left the team to gain a new perspective.
I'm sure, someday he will rejoin with TL.
