I haven't really followed his progress but I remember him doing pretty well in team leagues and such, every time I saw him he would be one of the Ace's of the team and as always it sucks to see a good player go.
Too weird to live, too rare to die.

Perhaps played the best game ever to be seen at MLG

Didn't think he was doing that bad? He was running a very positive win-ratio in the Team Leagues overall but I guess he wanted his old individual league form

It leaves Fnatic in alot of trouble aswell - Only 5 players in their main squad and no coach


Moon
Byul
J
Alive
Oz

is that really it?

+ Naama, Harstem, NightEnd and DeParture. (afaik, Ares left to join Bitbybit's team, but this is unconfirmed by Fnatic). With all the available ex-SlayerS, I'm pretty sure Fnatic is not in trouble x)


I did say Main squad, Promethlax correctly listed the 5 I mentioned you listed the B-teamers


Yeah, I'm pretty sure I got the point. They have 4 players to get out in a bo9 team league who would be good choices. They also have a few snipers. They also have J whom they insist on playing even though he loses.
TL Mafia. Love it. Play it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=31 I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me.

Feels like competition is back to level where it was at the time of broodwar! When white dudes just didn't have a chance against average Korean. Now if you aren't on a clock training hard - tomorrow you are just not as good as those who were training hard yesterday. And with all the KeSPA players added to the already big field. Not just everyone can stand the pressure.

Good luck Rain, you won't be forgotten!

I'm a diamond/paltinum player, but my terran vs terran mech is so effective due to his build I "stole";D so long time ago. Thanks for showing me how to do it, good luck on your life and future challenges.

Its probably better for him. I think we might see more retirements in the near future. There is too many players and too little money.

I agree, people kept thinking starcraft was going to keep growing and growing but in the past year it has certainly shrunk. It reached decent popularity about a year or so back but since then things have started to slide quite a bit. Not that their isnt money to be made or viewers to be had, there still is obviously. Just look at this weekends MLG as an indicator, playoff sunday the seats where mostly full but there where still some empty seats, and their wasnt people standing up watching all the way to the very back like some of the MLG's in the past. Not to mention this MLG had even more of a draw then most with the kespa players participating.

E-sports is a very fickle industry, because although their are obviously viewers that watch it that dont play the game, the audience is largely dictated by the popularity of the game, and most casual players wont stick around to play the same game for years on end. And those viewers that dont play probably got introduced to it through some friends who do play. SC2 has obviously taken quite a big dip in players over the past year. Even me when i first stopped playing sc2 (i wouldnt play more than a match a month and i havent played a match in over 6 months now) over a year ago, i was still interested in watching the games for a good 6 months after i stopped playing, but as i moved on to other games etc. I started to watch less and less, to the point where I dont tune in anymore for hardly any tournaments except for maybe an MLG here or there and i think its been like that for alot of former players of the game / friends of former players who where viewers.

Lets hope that Hots breathes some new life back into the game, i know ill certainly be playing.
