NaDa will be sorely missed. He's a legend to whom every single one of us is in debt; without the trailblazers like NaDa in the early days of esports, we wouldn't have the community we have now, the player base we have now, the sport that we have now. None of this would be possible without the early people who played when cash was as limited as global support was, players who in the early going said "esports is going to be big, and I'm going to make sure of it." The people with the dedication and steadfastness to take on something almost completely new...an unknown and unsure frontier.
Whether you know NaDa or not, to whatever extent you appreciate any of what the world of Starcraft is or esports in general, you owe him your appreciation along with all of those that were around in the formative years (of which we are still very much apart, I feel).
With all of that said, one of the great things about this sport is that this isn't really like football or basketball...you don't have to be a young guy to be great. For that reason, I hold out hope that in the years to come everything works out and we may yet see NaDa come back to the game he and his peers made possible.
Thank you, NaDa.

Thank you, NaDa.
Wanted to write something about this, but can't put it much better then this post quoted above. Very well written!
Thank you NaDa and good luck in everything you do.
