He had a tiny fanbase even look at his thread on TL here which is barely 30 pages long while others have far more then that. If he had a large fanbase maybe he would have bothered to post but he doesn't so he didn't bother to announce his retirement. He's moving on to the next Esports game which will be Diablo 3 which might be more popular then SC2 just because it will feature an Arena style combat and that alone will attract far more players. I'm even thinking of starting up in it once D3 PVP is released. I would bother with SC2 if I wasn't competing with people that dump 70-80 hours a week into SC2 which I don't have anywhere near that kind of time to put into it per week.
i`m sorry to inform you that you are completely wrong here. Blizzard itself has stated that there is no interest in turning diablo 3 in a "e sport"kinda game.

You say something but have no links to prove otherwise. Either cite your source of information or don't bother to post.

You don't bother to post it because you have no link that's why and you are turning this into a flamebait attempt at getting me banned. Have a good day sir.

I really loved his playstyle, and he was such a funny guy too. I'll still hold out hope though, I can't imagine after putting that much time into Starcraft that he wouldn't at least give HotS a shot!

While Blizzard may not be making Diablo 3 with the intention of making it into an e-sport, it is us, the players and fans that created the e-sports genre because of our love for the game and how great they are/were (Quake, CS, SC:BW, etc have all come because of the players and fanbases for each game wanting to make something competitive).
So we as a whole can make Diablo 3 into an e-sport.
Back on topic: I had read this somewhere before but I had forgotten. Maybe he will be around for IPL 5 (which I believe has already been confirmed to be in vegas again).
