well it was sad to see that since he joined EG his rate success started to go down quite a bit and now he is in danger of dropping out of WCS EU too (CURSED) but gl to him for his future career (yes I know he is going to keep playing but I don't think that playing while studying really works too well (at least from what I have seen from some german players))

I hope he has made some good money from his time on EG and has a nice life

Will miss a bit the Spoon Terran (well, he doesn't retire, but we may see less of him), the first terran I really rooted for back in the middle of TSL3 !


Yea, TSL3 was his moment of glory! Praethorians Thorzain ...so cute.

Good luck ThorZaIN ! EG is losing a lot of fan favorite players (IdrA, Stephano, ThorZaIN). They should easily resign Jaedong. But I'm looking forward to see their future plans.

Foreign Terran just not viable anymore

I don't know that it ever really was.

Lucifron/Happy/Demuslim are pretty good.


Thorzain is still the only Foreign terran to win a major.
IN 3 YEARS

So yeah, it's hard.


He´s not the only one, Sjow won the IEM European Championship in Kiev 2010 and Naama won DH Winter 2010, beating TOP, who won ode A shortly after.

This is probably the best thing for Thorzain, he secures his future with this and while playing part time is a slight disadvantadge, players like Nerchio and Welmu do it as well and Luci&Vortix did it for the longest time, so I don´t think it effects his play that much. GL with medical school, ThorZaiN.

Smart decision! Good luck in the future, Thorzain!

Thorzain vs Naniwa in TSL3 still one of my fav moments ever in SC2 history.

Gl in school ThorZaIN :D Wise decision!

Guys he will still attend lans and play, just not as much as he used to, so we will still see him play The difference might only be his skill. There is still plenty of spoon terran left to watch(when he has time ofc) :D

Sadly, this. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but medical programs are brutal regardless of your area of expertise. Well, he should have time to play during his first year, and maybe second, since the course load won't be TOO bad then, but after that...

Its a smart decision, kinda surprised cuz i always feel declining pros cling to their stuff and cant move on. gl with the studies, the first months probably are the hardest after living the full time pro gamer live.

not really true. im a final year medical student in the UK and have plenty of time to mess around on sc2. im not thorzains level obviously, but he will have enough time to stay pretty good at the game i believe

Wow, great blog and I'm glad that he has found motivation doing something even if it won't be Starcraft going forward. Best of luck, and hopefully he will have a few more great tournaments in him!
