Really overrated player. Starts a shitstorm in chat each time he played against TLO, just because he was not as good as TLO. I will not miss him. Poster with 6 postings makes accusations but has no evidence.

Nice guy. Hope he does better in LOL or Poker. Good luck Darkforce!

Ah, good luck out there, always enjoyed reading your forum contributions and seeing you in tournys! Good luck and hope you stay active!!

Aw man, Darkforce was always up there representing the German SC2 scene with Socke and Hasuobs. Shame he never got his break, I remember seeing some great games from him at a Homestory or IEM or Dreamhack (watched so many I forget).
Good luck in your future endeavours!

I'm not a massive fan of Skype casting really unless I absolutely have to (Iron Squid was a good example of that since, Sean is on the other side of the world!) : / there's a second or so delay which can make for poor flow sometimes. So yeah I generally would much rather cast with someone right next to me ^_^

Initially i wanted to make a video, but for some reason i feel comfortable with just writing a post.
Long story short, im going to retire from professional Starcraft 2 - something i probably should have done like 2-3 months ago. Alternate offered to renew my contract (and i even would have gotten the same salary
as last year - which is very nice of them), but i declined. While i probably could stick around and play a bit of EPS and get some easy money, it honestly would have felt
like im just ripping them off, which Alternate doesnt really deserve, as they are one of the few reliable organisations in eSport. They might be quite slow at times, but in the end I always got
what i was promised (and, sadly, thats rare in eSport).
If you dont really care much, you can stop reading here :D
Why did I decide to retire? There is two big factors. First of all, after EPS Summer last year and WCS Europe Finals my confidence in my play was pretty rock bottom and i never really managed to
change that all too much, and confidence is super important to winning. Second, SC2 simply was not as much fun anymore which also decreased my motivation to practise. I tried to force myself to keep going many times, hoping
once i perform better I will also have more fun again (winning alone is quite fun for me) but it just didnt come back.
Whats next? I dont know exactly myself. I will certainly not just disappear though.
Ill just make some Cliffnotes because im bad at writing:
-I will play SC2 now and then and do some coaching if there is still people interested.
-I will still follow the SC2 scene (as in watch tournaments, read forums etc.) and continue to make videos about tournaments, analyzing betting lines for matches etc.
-Mainly, i will be playing poker again, and so far it doesnt seem that dry and its going quite good (and its fun again after such a long break).
-Also I will play more League of Legends, but obviously its hard to break into the Proscene there, so im not going to put
that much hope into getting anywhere there, but you never know what will happen :D
Greetings, DarKFoRcE Sad to see him go, I will miss his strange sense of humor and everythinng, but GL with poker
DarkForce (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
