Not officially, but yeah he's playing Magic the Gathering again.


Is official, can confirm. I've spoken to him about it quite a lot. I suppose I don't think there was a "I'm retiring yo" blog post, but he's gone.

It's a damn shame, but at least that's one less matchup to worry about.

Sad but not surprising.
It's hard for these SEA players to support themselves. Even Moonglade is having a hard time.

Light supported himself through employment, he didn't play as much as almost anyone else. He's just naturally talented so it's ok. He's quitting cuz he ain't passionate about the game. Mafia's a poker champ so money is never an issue for him (I think, he only tells me about his losses when he's pissed. Which is not often enough).

Which is a shame. Light is definitely on my list of players who are so talented if they'd practiced properly with good support he could of been extremely successful. Also on this list is iceiceice, thank christ he plays dota.

Aus Starcraft is kind of going through a transition where quite a few of the Old Guard have lost their passion and are quitting or not training as hard. Currently there's only one really impressive newer player imo; Petreaus (technically from New Zealand but we fly him over a lot so he's basically australian). Currently I rate myself, Rossi, Glade, PiG, Petreaus, KingKong and maybe Pokerface and Jaz as the best players in the scene (apologies if I've missed someone) and we're head and shoulders above everyone else. Which sucks! It'd be nice to have a tougher scene.

It was only last year I used an all-in that Light taught me while we were teammates to win a CSL ace match.

Godspeed, you cheesy kid.

Maybe they'll still play but not fully committed to an e-sports team.

I remember Artosis mentioning him not to long ago as a really strong protoss ... cursed!

Shame we don't get to see more of the Ausies. They seem to have a really strong group of players out there.

Light was a fantastic player and could've gone much further if not for being stuck in the low-econ Australian scene

Ray (Light) was freakishly good and you can ask the more known SEA players (PiG, Tgun, Iaguz etc) just how scary/frustrating it was to have him in your bracket or group in a tournament. Probably the guy that i feel, if given international chances etc could have challenged the very best. Really looked up to him and he was the main motivation for me to improve, so he wasn't the only Protoss flying the flag in SEA. Unfortunately i was never very good and lost motivation after WCS last year so it was only him alone, going to be weird to not see him in tournaments challenging Iaguz/Rossi + the swarm as the single shining 'Light' (hehe) of Auir.

Also Tgun, i will never forget looking across and seeing you smile and mini fist pump after Neuralling my Mothership and vortexing all my shit in our WCS games > your series vs Tim was the sickest thing i have been around eSports related and you always brought a shit-tonne of passion to tournaments.

Wish the best for the boys, good lads the both of them, but as people said, it's essentially impossible to support yourself as a player in SEA and when all online tournies are at like 4 am (EU/NA etc) and we have 3-4 LAN's a year with tiny prizepools it's hard to stay motivated

A lot of players retiring lately

It might look like it but the reality is that there are hundreds of progamers or players who are really really good who stop playing, but in a way, this opens up more options for other players to move into the territory.
