Ppl expecting him to do great at MLG will be disappointed. He still doesn't practice. I dont know why but i think he just kinda lost his passion.

I was a Nony fan before he won Tsl2 but i just dont see the fire/confidence in him anymore

Perhaps he's just not as intense as before. I'm fairly sure that his practice time is severely limited due to perhaps his family or some extraneous circumstance.

Maybe he married the SC 2 version of Yoko Ono?

EDIT: Well, he married her before winning TSL 2, or so I believe, so I suppose this can't be true

I feel like it would have to be some extraneous circumstance unless his wife is more demanding than most, but once again... We have no real information and haven't been given any real information about what's holding him back other than, "I don't practice". White-ra has a wife and all that too, in addition to having a personal sponsorship as opposed to a team and he still manages to perform really well so I don't really know what the situation with Tyler is, but speculating won't really get us anywhere.

I'm not interested in the could be at this point and more interested in him actually achieving the potential everyone keeps hyping up. If he doesn't, whatever, he still seems like a cool guy, but without actual reasoning given behind the, "I don't practice", it just sounds like disinterest.

Nice OP. Things like this can really help a player get the motivation he needs before a big tournament.

Going to throw my 500th post here, I am a true NonY fan boy if there ever was such a good article and hoping that he goes far at Anaheim I will be there in person to cheer him on. Just hope I don't hit him in the open Bracket Conflict of Interest. I want Tyler to win more than me :D.

Tyler FIGHTING!!!!

I've been supporting Tyler from the first day I saw him play. His personality, playstyle and clear love and understanding of this game make him an easy to love guy. I sincerely hope that he does find the will to practice and play a pro-gamer schedule again, but if he doesn't I am completely confident it is for a reason more important or for something that he loves enough to go beyond his love for SC2.
Supporting you all the way Tyler! <33

I rediscovered starcraft (after my small stint of playing it a bit when i was young) during the tsl2 idra nony match and since then ive been a fan, i have a strong feeling theres a personal reason/hidden reason behind his lack of practice and i can only hope he gets it sorted and start hammering out these amazing builds im sure he has thought up.

My take on Tyler's situation is this: The man obviously has a deep passion for Starcraft, or he wouldn't be playing it professionally and engaging in the community. And he's made clear that something IRL is getting between him and the kind of practice regimen that would allow him to shine. Because he's so obviously passionate about his craft, and because TL's leadership presumably knows what's going on and has continued to be supportive of him, we can only deduce that whatever is going on behind the scenes must be a pretty huge deal.

Given that I respect Tyler's decision to keep his private life private and have no reason to doubt the judgement of TL leadership, I'm content to remain in the dark and just have faith that (1) whatever is going on will not last forever and (2) when Tyler is able to return to top form, he'll likely have what it takes to be a major player in the SC2 scene.

Seriously, we have so little information about what the situation is that all of the criticism and praise that are heaped on Tyler seem a little silly.


I somewhat agree, altho come to think of it you shouldnt put too much faith in TL, I mean teams like EG still keeps players like LzGamer on and pays him, I mean what exactly has he been doing and or winning to show that he should be a PAID player? Tyler is far better than him tho and this is in no way try to bash on either, but by my business logic it doesnt fit.

However, at Tyler is honest about why he is worse now and that is lack of practice. That I respect.

AFAIK Tyler has suffered from serious depression for a long time and this is the "IRL" stuff and health issues he has mentioned before... If its not appropriate to share here plz delete this post but the information is pretty easily accessible in some of his old TL posts.
I could spend a while with that smile

Good read. Tyler is the number one guy in the SC2 scene that I would like to see top results from.

He just needs to put his head down and practice. I don't think he cares as much anymore and probably is more concerned with life outside of gaming now.

Those Arbitarsssssssssss videos were what made me start to love the man called NonY.

And today he's my favorite brotoss. I just wish he was as dominating as he was in SC1.

NonY fighting!!!!! and please change your name to Liquid'NonY. xD
