I'm quoting you for Tgun and for your forehead.

Glad someone made a thread on here about this. They deserve. Light and tgun were phenomenal players, it's a shame they never really got any international recognition.
|
T__T what a shame. 2 of SEA's best players gone. GL in the future boys!
|
Tgun has been around for a while, i remember his reactions to winning in wcs last year, it was great. Sad to see him go.
Same to Light too, watching WCS made me a fan of his
|
MaFia has retired aswell.

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

LighT was apparently korean gm and super good.
SEA in general has sickly underrated players and it's depressing that they've gone so unnoticed. if only they had better tournament support/exposure...

Light is a sick player, such a pity hes almost done, same with mafia :'(. Australia is killing eSports

Players retire constantly.
The problem is when a lot of players retire and there is no new blood replacing them.
It's a shame to see these two go, though. :<

oh, no, have fun in RL, tgun!  <3

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.
|
TGun was a wonderful player to manage. Great guy and always a class act. I wish him the best in anything he does, such an awesome dude.
|
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.
|
no tgun
I watched you evolve over the past few years. Great player and chill dude. Nice meeting you at mlg columbus.
|
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.
|
I liked watching Tgun. Good luck in the future to the both of you <3
|
I never saw this coming O.o, good luck to both of them of course!
|
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.
|
Tgun was a lot of fun to watch, sad to see him go.

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

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
|
haven't heard anything from either of these guys in ages. best of luck in the future!

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.
|
Read that as "Tgun and iMight retire." as if a pun was intended. xD
Anyways, that's sad. They're good players. t.t
|
Tgun was one of those Rocky types who left a bigger trace than the sum of his accomplishments. All the best!

The skill ceiling is getting higher and higher (like it should) and it is just too discouraging and not feasible for people to only play sc2 all day. Everyone has to feed themselves.

Tgun! Take care buddy I always followed your play!

Except Light didn't quit because he was discouraged or lacking in skill. I doubt many foreigners can boast hitting GM on korea whilst working long hours (he did it recently too). From his blog it was more feeling isolated on b.net (many friends had gone inactive) and the lack of money in the Aus scene probably didn't help either.
