Hey guys, so everyone is asking why I dont play in HSC etc.

I decided to go inactive, so I wont play fulltime anymore. Maybe I will try to play a bit while studying, depends on what XMG and me can work out. I set a time limit for me, and now its time to prepare for the reallife . Of course we gonna see eachother again in WarCraft 4, If Blizzard is gonna make it :D.

Was a pleasure to be a part of the E-Sports community. Also a big thanks to XMG who made it possible. Aaaaaaand of course to my incredible nice teammates Monchi,Salt and ToD (too sad we couldnt share too many events with salt and tod under the flag of XMG).

Baba !

I think it's quite sad to see him quit. He was just starting to get better and show some results.

Well, SC2 was never really his game. In WC3 he appeared to have a natural grip for the game, but in SC2 he mostly was hanging around and playing the meta.

I think he made the right move. GL in real life.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

So the arrogant douche finally realized that being fulltitme top pro isn't that simple as he makes it when he trashes other top pros. You have to spend a lot of time in practice and the results won't come immediately.
Good for him that he realized he lacks the passion/dedication for it.
