I wish him the best of luck in whatever endeavors he wishes to pursue and just hope he can find something he can truly pour his passion into.

How so?


To paraphrase: "I know have the potential to be better than anyone(non-Korean) in the world, but I didn't like the game, so I quit"

It is close to blaming SC2 for why he didn't do well. He leaves it subjective by saying that he didn't "enjoy" the game, but he is still heaping the blame on SC2 rather than himself.

Well you are reading it like you want to read it. I read it more like "I didn't enjoy the game so I didn't put as much time/effort into it as required to excel", which is basically what his whole blog is about, how he loved BW and therefor he was putting a lot more effort into developing as a player.

This is probably for the better. He never seemed to bring a lot of positive things to the table - I clearly remember when he casted with Thorzian at homestory, man ...

I do wish him the best of luck in his life, though.

This is for the best. I have seen many times about how he doesn't like SC2 and doesn't think it's a good game but he played it for his own reasons. I was wondering back then how could you force yourself to do that? The difference in his play and the player who play with passion and enjoy the game such as Life show through their game. I don't need to say which is more fun to watch.

I feel the same way. As Steve Jobs said here, you have to love what you do to do a great job. Yet I can say I really tried my best to like SC2 and this experience gave me a lot, so I am happy I did it even though I was very doubtful about SC2 from the beginning.

I think he will be happier without SC2. While many people dislike him for his exaggerated ramblings and hate comments, I can tell you that his heart is in the right place. While he is probably one of the weirdest people I have met in eSport, he is also one of the few where I can confidently say that he is a good person

Good luck with poker, I hope you can keep your calm my friend :D

I don't think you can "try" to enjoy anything.

I know this very well right now, still happy I did it, and I believe I did well considering my passion for the game was not there all this time. I am most proud of my growth as a person in the last 3 years and especially the last months and that could have never happened without my progaming experience.

GG Cloud. You could make a pretty good caster, although that market is pretty saturated.

Good luck. If the passion/love is not there, then progaming is not the right path.
