Temp ban isn't enough.
Ignorance.

I remember Merz from back in BW. Though we never talked I always respected his skill.
Wishing you well.

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.


His comment was valid (even if it was totally misplaced imo) right up until he described certain gamers as 'parasitic', that was incredibly detrimental and inappropriate. Also shortly followed by his reply to TT1 the guy is quite obviously a troll.

I remember when I bought WoL on release day, I bought it because it looked like a cool game, I knew nothing of 'the pro scene', streaming, or even balance. I then started watching Husky's channel and was completely blown away be the astronomical difference in skill between these apparent pros and myself (I actually thought I was pretty boss because I could beat a 'very hard' AI). One of the first names I consistently started to see and recognise from watching these replays was Merz. I do admit in recent times (since the beginning of 2012) he had faded from memory, so seeing as the first bit of news I've heard about in in months is about his retirement is pretty disheartening.

Whatever you go on to do Merz I wish you the best of luck and all the best.

I'm really tired because I just got home from work, so I read the title as "Dignitas.merz dies." ...

I always did like merz. Gl in the future!

Good choice, everything has become ridiculous latley. There are much better things to do in life then playing sc2 as a terran. Hope you can transfere your apm to your studies.

Only thing i've ever heard of him was that he had high apm and that he was on dignitas. Shame he wasn't able to achieve his goals and become a more prolific player. Best of luck in life merz.

Merz was a player with good mechanical play. An ~300 apm average, who is pretty rare for foreigners.
But SC2 needs above all (only ?) gamesens ;;

Good luck Merz ! All the best !
