Well, he never really made it to the top in SC2 or lasted there (like most ex-WC3 players), so it's probabaly reasonable to cut effort. Maybe SC2 was not the right game for him. But of course it's always said to see a German player leave.
Wish you best of success in other hobbys and RL!

Good for him that he realized he lacks the passion/dedication for it.



no need to call him that way. Yes he is very arrogant and he lacks dedication...good luck in RL

Would be so cool if warcraft 4 came out and was a balanced RTS, with its own active esports scene

I don't think he left because he can't amount the dedication needed.
I think he left as he only wanted to play SC2 if thinks go his way without him sacrificing to much as he doesn't seem to care that much about the scene/game. So he would rather focus on his studies and get a nice job and so on. If the game would be natural for him and he gets the right amount of cash of it without a huge dedication(that he could make but he won't) he'd stay. Just like Stephano he seems more interested in getting a good amount of cash and enjoying his life the best he can.

As for arrogant well he can be arrogant as he beat stephano in HSC VI without that extensive training and got 2nd in EPS so he can be a bit arrogant and it is probably also a bit of his personna but i am not sure as i don't know him.

xlord was "arrogant" in the same way MC is "arrogant" in sc2. It was more goofy fun than anything. Just watch his NASL application and you will know what I mean.

I only remeber him from HSC and this 1 interview where he said he only needed 3 months to get to stephano's level ;p

Sad to see that such a player was able to beat big names and get undeserved wins at the patchzerg era.

I am always happy for people who transition out of eSports. It is isn't a sustainable career path unless you're in the top .000001% in skill or have insane charisma. That is an incredibly small pool of people.

GL XLord! Pleasant WC3 memories.

He was a big name in War3. He has probably been playing rts at a high level longer than you've been alive

That does suck I dunno why but something about him made me actually like him, despite him not being korean.
Dunno why everyone says it's the right choice for him. Given he was full time he had the choice between practicing his ass off and really wanting it and actually making it, and probably what he did which is semi-seriously laddering it away. So imo given his previous choice to not practice his ass off (tlo is showing all of us what that results in) his choice to quit is right, but overall (he did finish 3rd hsc 6 afterall) I feel like he could have achieved a lot by just practicing harder.
