I never bought into the hype honestly :/
I think going back to school is a good move.

Very expected. He has far since fallen from grace and hasn't done anything lately, so good on him not to prong the inevitable since he has been doing not very good lately.

GL to him though.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

A series of tweets from Mousesports management have confirmed that (T)LucifroN is no longer an active player and will be returning to his studies. As of now, the length of his break is indefinite, and may effectively be retirement.

Shame, guy had some talent. Strange that he looked better at the end of WoL and not playing fulltime.

Good luck with whatever he chooses to do

There is no hope.


Shame about Lucifron though. Everyone kept on over-hyping him, and set the bar too high for him. From then on, he could rarely meet that expectation. Good luck Lucifron

This also is an interesting change for Mouz. They've finally picked up their first Korean in Dear, and now Mana and hOpe are released, and Lucifron is likely retiring. Changes upcoming for this team

i was a county award winning athlete in high school - and got multiple scholarships to play in division 1 level college programs. My mom made sure that I made straight a's and even after college pursued a higher level of education. always have something to fall back on, because sports (including esports) can take a sudden change in direction (for example you might get injured), and at least you have a secondary plan to support yourself

I always support taking a break to resume studies and accomplish an important milestone in life like your education. I really hope more and more pro gamers continue to value education, while still owning everyone in their perspective games

as a former war3 player myself, i must say i'm very proud of Lucifron and the effect he has had on Starcraft 2. It's great to see war3 players transition successfully

good luck and hope to see you back!

This was the most well executed humble-brag I have seen all year.

I think what broke him was his result against Tlo where losing meant not going the global final of wcs. Tlo said he basicly had no chance against him and cheesed every game.

He did not cheese every game. He played a six pool once and his other wins were fast mutas against hellbat drops and roach nydus vs mass hellions. So game 3 was just good decision making and solid play, while game 4 was a build order win mostly.
On topic, sad to see Luci go. I guess his best timing window for a comeback might be in Lotv Beta but I wouldn`t be surprised if he just reamains a hobby player for now.

i have watched some really solid games and really disappointing games from him. it's a shame he has never performed consistently.

He was always overhyped and I dont know why.

Me neither, I remember when Kalearis and other people would say "this is his tournament to win, it's bound to happen some time!".. I'd always think "yeah, no.. guy's never going to make a ro8.."

he had been overhyped since abusing orc hard enough to win ESWC back in the day (when everyone played orc & others retired).
I guess the hype was carried into Sc2, as with most half-decent european wc3 players
