Personally I think he should have stayed as the patriarch of Protoss. What if he performs terribly now? It'll just bring down the Protoss users even more.

Depends all on how he performs now. I agree it will be difficult but if thats hes goal than i hope he shows what toss can do. And not cheese like every game. I want to see some one base arbiter recall zealot some proxy reaver. I have expectations. If he was just known as the legend people will always say if he played in the present he would suck so he has something to prove. Its good to see a retired pro try again.

Well except Rocky is facing a point in his life where people are telling him that he cant do things anymore, and Garimto is like 25 and definitely healthy enough to play a computer game regardless of what some people think of reflex deterioration.

I hope he can do it. The worst part for him is that he hasnt played in a while, and the rust can be hard to shake.

Let sleeping gods lie, maybe. Dunno.. I don't see how he can bring something NEW to the table. I expect some nice fancy play, but I can't see anything new..
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

I don't really care about Garimto's legend. It probably will tarnish his legacy but it's great that a person like him is coming back to play and maybe even innovate protoss (again!).

The man has balls. 9/10 Zealot rushing man balls. I always considered him more manlire than Reach, Reach pales in comparison to Garimto's style and mannerism.

What he is doing is remarkable, however, it will most likely soil his reputation.

Put up, or shut up.

If the man wins, Iove him forever. But, that will never take away from what he has done for the race and the game.

perhaps being a commentator helps, but I think his execution for macro will need serious help. he will be a true legend beyond measure if he wins another osl tho, seriously.

I say come back Garimto, but come back strong. We need another Toss star to arise, and your star is already high. If you can manage a good showing, than indeed, you deserve to come back.

if the man wants to play let him play for god sake ; he is far more aware of the consequences than all of you
...but one could still bitch about his play level

he's coming back in large part because he knows it's going to be a huge challenge

he won't be happy unless he's successful, the guy is seriously THAT competitive

garimto's comeback is like jordan coming back from retirement

so all props to him for putting himself on the line, knowing that the competition is going to be crazy and all odds are against him

will he do well? i highly highly doubt it, as does most of the world.

but if he does?

he's im-yo-hwan-godly

I'm not expecting something extraordinary, between teh choice of a big ego and some super genius who can see major things that hundreds others who spend their life on this game could not see, i'd have to at least take his "today's kids dont know how to play" talk with some doubt. But the more interesting things is that he would not have so much pressure to win a game that the younger generation has to bear (the fairly unknown players could not afford to waste their precious few chances) so expect more strategic freedom and flair. If this works out with wins then all the better, but the games should be entertaining games and i'm content with that.

Well when you say "trashing up" you sound a little bad...
Anyway Garimto is a great legend...you should consider that he admires AnyTime[gm] as one of the best Protoss right now...this tells you that indeed his knowledge is accurate...since AnyTime[gm] is the 1st Protoss on Kespa right now...

Garimto is going to get completely owned and retire after 3 months once it becomes clear that he can't compete. Remember this post.
