I'll always remember you as the guy who knocked me out of MLG winners bracket in a series of absolutely ridiculous games.

GL with whatever else you do.

Really classy to bring attention to this TL. I thought the inconspicuous blog was going to be it, but I'm glad you agree that he deserves a proper announcement.

Best of luck Merz!

Nice of TL to issue an announcement for him. I feel that his Blog on his retirement hit home to us more than just some team making an announcement.

Keep playing the game you love though. Quitting the pro scene is just what it is. You were up there and hung with the best. It's good you realize it's time to move on.

Takes a man to move on, GL merz.

I can name 20 players that should also throw in the towel and think about the future. Some pros right now are being really foolish or parasitic.


who the hell are you to tell people what they should or shouldn't do with their lives. If they want to try and make a living playing a game they love, then they should have every right to. Just because they don't please you with the results you want doesn't mean they should give up their livelihoods or dreams. What a stupid thing to say


There's a big difference between someone *telling* someone else what they should or shouldn't do with their lives, and offering a vague personal opinion on whether its worth it for those pro-gamers to continue.

He isn't taking away their right to play a game they love, and he never said anything about the pro-gamers in question needing to "please him" with good results. You're taking this unnecessarily personally.

Finally its obviously about more than playing a game you love, otherwise players like Merz could go on forever. Clearly you need results to succeed financially in SC2, just like competitive sports, unless you serve some other important function for the team. So its perfectly reasonable to say that Merz' reasons for retiring can be applied to many other players.

Cloud might be next. I know he stated that if he isn't satisfied with his improvement by December (?) then he will retire. That too, would be very sad.

The whole "I'm not sure I'm a progamer" thing shows a lot of modesty and humility. But rest assured, anyone who at any point is skilled and talented enough to not only make it onto a major team, get paid to play, make it into big tournaments but also have a big community like this recognize you is most certainly a pro.

While I never knew much of you, I knew you. That's more than what will ever be said for the vast majority of those wanting this life. Thanks for your contributions to the sport and I look forward to a future nostalgic comeback.
