Filter, thanks so much for everything you did, you made by far the best tutorials for getting better at SC2. Your Terran series made me a much better player when I was first starting out, and your Zerg series helped me switch races and have way more fun with the game than I was before. Thank you!!

People will just pick one thing, and stick with it in this thread like lions.

I, being a Zerg player, enjoyed his Terran series and learned nice things from him. Be it that a random gold player or a pro is retiring, it is the same, that's 1 less viewer on the tournament, that's potentially one less seat taken in already small crowds etc etc.

Show some respect for Filter, because he contributed more to this community than most of us here ever did.

TL is known for having arguments over semantics and nit-picking certain things in post, while disregarding the whole point of the post.

Thanks for the kind words from those that posted them.

It actually makes me pretty sad that the majority of people here don't consider me a member of the teamliquid community. That might be true for the past few months, but for a few years there I was here every day reading everything I possibly could here to get better and the news articles/post standard on teamliquid makes it an amazing forum to visit. I also have one of the top 3 most viewed sc2 strategy posts from the WoL days, that I didn't update for hots because well.. I just never finished my HoTS material. I didn't post a lot here because I didn't feel like I would add anything positive to many of the conversations going on, but I enjoyed reading them immensely. I consider teamliquid my home though and still enjoy the website/forums/community immensely whenever I visit.

I want to make the balance stuff perfectly clear. I feel like Blizzard is choosing to make Terran less rewarding to play at a high skill level, instead of making the other races more rewarding to play at a high level. I dont care about the winrates, I just want the game to be the best it can be. Please don't take it for a qq Terran up, because that's not the message.

Thanks for the support, thanks to everybody who linked my videos to their friends and foes. It's been a great ride, and I've had a lot of fun.

Edit: Just a quick edit, thanks for posting OP. The edits look really good, makes me wonder what it originally looked like based on the comments lol. Ignore the venom from people though, it doesn't matter and reading the good things people have said always brings a smile to my face. And to the guy who compared me to idra, I'll take it even in it's extremely negative context

gg man, i don't know your content but i've definitely seen your name around. i've noticed TL has a nasty bent toward needlessly trashing any news about a player/team/whatever that isn't competing in WCS. even if calling you a "legend" is an overstatement, arguing the point is just senseless negativity. if one person or ten people or a hundred people consider you important, there's no reason to claim you aren't

to the people who only want to read posts about taeja and soulkey - if you don't post here at all, your disapproval will be reflected as the thread dies. until then, let people who care go on caring

He makes some good points. When I was really into SC2 in the WoL days I felt like I was around the same knowledge/skill as Filter and Nathanias were, with the both of them being slightly more skilled and with me having no real intentions of making a career out of the scene. But it's interesting to say the least who makes it out, who doesn't, and the effects that it has. One who can barely get by and has accumulated debt, and one that is at a fair amount of events and in a comfortable place by now. I guess it really shows how marketing and chasing makes an effect.
In the old days all you had to do was be out there and create content. That's how the day9s and huskys were created. These days it seems like you really have to push to get people to promote your content and make yourself known because the scene is so much more established and just "showing up" doesn't cut it anymore.

a lot of us do know who you are, it's the OP original post being horrible at the beginning that made everyone went "who?" as a response.

Filter really were great for the community. When I came back to StarCraft 2 after about 6 months of not playing, his bronze to masters videos really helped me get a good feel for the game again. His build taught me good mechanics and clean execution are important. I now play Protoss, but many things from that video have carried over. GG filter.

I have a Terran friend who raved about your content and how much it helped him. You definitely contributed to the community. I hope you will find success in future endeavors.

Why do you need to comment on a community figure you see as irrelevant? Do you just need to say something just for the sake of saying something? A classic quote from Plato about fools and wise men rings home here.. Anyway Filter pushed out content that helped a lot of low league players understand base mechanics and economy management and had a reasonably following. He contributed to the scene positively and I would rather keep one Filter rather than one tl forum agitator in the sc2 scene given the choice.

Is there a reason why nobody made a thread about you quitting sc2? I will leave you to ponder that question...

I was responding to the OP(from when it was first posted), rather than Filter himself. I have said this several times. I always appreciated Filters work on youtube.
