He just dropped off massively from the end of WoL which is really weird. His mass hellion bbqs wont be forgotten though

Not really, he dropped when Hellbats were nerfed in HotS, he was destroying everyone with Hellbat drops.

Time for HeroMarine to step up !
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

The most overhyped and overrated foreign player in Sc2. It's laughable to hype this guy had compared to his actual results.

The reason why he was hyped is because for a long time he was one of the very very few really good Terrans in the foreign scene. It is also the reason why HeroMarine gets so much support nowadays (even though the real foreign Terran hero is Happy).

Also, in 2013 alone (despite his horrible post-hellbat performances), he was still the 6th highest earning foreigner.

@Mikkmagro: yep, if anything the hype was justified for the first few months of Hots. During that period he looked like the total package: solid mechanics, very good engagements and the ability to play a variety of builds, from cheese to turtle mech. Later on, his skill slowly declined. I guess his inability to break out of the ro8s hit him mentally.

I hope he keeps playing for fun and returns in a blaze of glory in LoV!

School is important, gl with your studies. GM those results.

How unfortunate is this I hope he comes back soon without the pressure of pursuing it fulltime. I strongly believe he really showed championship form at times, but he was a little bit unlucky when it mattered the most, facing in most of the big tournaments the final winners and being defeated by small margins. I don't think he was that overhyped, it's true that he didn't win any big tournament this year (any foreigner did that after all), but the sample is quite small though. He instead crushed the Ladder constantly, most of the big names feared him for a long time, wanting to avoid him. He played really well in all the team leagues and online tournaments (winning some), and did some decent results overall speaking, constantly being in the top 10-15 in Aligulac rankings and reaching and holding the 1800+ rating along months which is IMPRESSIVE compared to the whole foreigner scene.

It's true that I also expected him to shine by winning a big tournament this year. That didn't happen, but it's not a real dissapointment, I've always believed that he can fight with the koreans face to face, but he needed more time... 1 year has been insuficient. Anyways, I wish him good luck with studies, and after all the effort, some time off is always good. I'm sure he will come back even stronger when he recover his eager to compete, and he will shine again as one of the best foreigners.

Keep fighting Pedro!

I think that Lucifron's hype was actualized, at least in WoL. He was so good, especially if you remember back to his games in WCS EU (that match vs. Stephano, what a great game). I think that foreigner Terrans in general are struggling and that he must have hit a mental block or something after hellbats were nerfed. He played really well in 2012 and early 2013, but it's unfortunate that he never got to end at the same level he started the year at.

Gl to you in school, Lucifron. It's best to stop when you're ahead and go back to school to get a more stable career.

No.
He played like a Korean Terran when he was not hyped. He played like a full foreigner when he was hyped. He is still the most succesfull Terran foreigner.

Smart play from an excellent Terran. Similar to how Stephano left after he admitted that Zerg was OP as shit and no longer is so, I'm sure Lucifron understands that Terran is going to be ignored by Blizzard for the foreseeable future.

I really enjoyed his games, he was one of the only foreign Terrans that I ever got a feeling might gain some traction. Sad to see him go. To those that call him all hype, you didn't watch his games, only his results (which just like all foreign Terrans, were not Terribly impressive). His games however, from a Terran perspective, were quite excellent.

I think his timing on leaving the game further shows how smart he is in tactics. Good luck bra!

Luci was probably a better player than ThorZaIN in his prime compared to ThorZaIN's prime, but ThorZaIN won 2 premier's so I don't think Luci is the most successful. I do think he and Happy's had the most solid play though.
