Lol Yugioh wants Eve

Also, about that team - Love Your Girlfriend, I just noticed that the Manager's tag is Alizée

Awesome to see them picking up more players. They have a bunch already

Thank you so much as always!
Although, it should be anecdotes and trivia, not anecdotes and trivial although both probably work

I don´t think, that Kas retired tbh. I can´t confirmed it, but someone said in the other thread , that after writing that post, he continued to grind games as usual.

Is there a RSS feed or some other way to get a notification whenever a new "This week in Starcraft 2" comes up? I really enjoy these articles and I wouldn't like to miss them.

That Yugioh collage... damn. Just damn. Did he make that himself?

...

That kind of suffering... it's a very special kind of suffering. It doesn't really matter who you are. It doesn't matter how strong or weak you are, how happy or angry you are or whether you give a shit or not. You can be a fucking special snowflake or an average joe, a beautiful miracle or a sociopath. That kind of suffering will destroy all of that.
It will destroy you.
It will wear down on your soul, it will chip away at your values and ideals, your hopes and dreams, everything you love and admire about yourself. It will destroy that.
It will destroy you.
Through years, and sometimes even decades, it will take and take and take. It will rip away all that you are and all that you can love and will laugh and laugh, and when there is nothing left to take any more it will crush you underfoot like you would crush a bug, and it will smear your screaming, bloody remains all over the ground until you can't even scream any more.
It will destroy you.

I hope he's done. I hope he left progaming and felt the burden of all his failures and all that stress disappear. I hope that he left progaming and fucking loved leaving, that he's now getting a real job and believes that leaving progaming was the best fucking thing he ever did in his entire life. I hope he's making friends, visiting his family and rebuilding all those old bonds he abandoned for his job and his misery.
I hope all those things are true so much, because I know exactly what the alternative is. I know how the story ends.
