You do realise that most entertainers have a public persona that brings revenue while often being completely different in their private lives?

I suppose people not understanding this distinction is why reality TV is so successful.

just a few thousands a month from casting.
if he really wanted to, he could cast in a lot more events, too, and add a few to that.
I wonder how active and passionate he was trying to get big jobs.

others would do a lot of things to get into a position he was in.
i guess im happy he leaves room for people that really want to cast starcraft.

maybe most entertainers, ye.
but starcraft players/casters? no, not rly. most of them show a lot of their true selves. Day9 probably doesnt, most others are "real"

No one that played BW likes SC2. Everyone just plays it because of sponsors and money.

Fucking shit game ruining the scene, thanks Blizzard!


Lies and generalisations! I played BW and I love sc2.


I dont think this is as black and white.
I dont like SC2 in general but I do play it from time to time (thou i did not buy HoTS, i stayed at WoL).

I belive SC2 to not be as interesting and rewarding as BW, but It has some strong points with itself (Great UMS maps for example).

I talked to a few BW great players who moved to sc2 and most of them agree that SC2 is not as fun, but it does bring cash, so its what they play.

Others thou, belive SC2 to be a great game, however so far it feels like its a minority.

SC2 has seen some decline in its popularity, and it seems like Its a steady decline so far...
Since Im not a great sc2 fan, Idra leaving should have no importance to me, but somehow him beeing so bad mannered I cant help but to feel Its good that he leaves.



Most Quake World/3 players don't enjoy Quake Live, but they realize that that's the only way to make money off of Quake today.


Updating graphics yes is probably the only way to sell games now with maybe the exception of minecraft. But just having pretty graphics doesn't make games great. I played SC BW alld the WC and Diablo series. Games by blizzard were more complete games back then. So, why can't these companies make solid games with upgraded graphics?

It could be a lot worse, I suppose. He was earning top dollar for a few years, he had some great experiences, and he gets to move on to another profession at the age of 24. Provided he turns over a new leaf and doesn't let his attitude continue to hamper him, he's doing fine.

Losing you hurts,Greg.I'm Just 14 and i've recently picked up SC2,and you were my inspiration.I loved to watch your BW replays as well,because i would actually learn something.I wish you best of luck in real life.
BTW can we see you play BroodWar?I will be very happy to see you do it.

We lost a hero today.

The tone this sets seems consistent with the steady decline the scene has been experiencing

You're an idiot, he had scholarship offers to study theoretical physics before taking up full time Starcraft.

You are my favorite player of all times . I am not really sure why , but you are . And I think you will always be .
Esports is in its infancy . It is kept alive by people more through their passion than through the money pumped in the industry.
All sports have had this phase .
You had a way to make a lot of money from esports . You lost your passion for the game .You fucked up .

You had an amazing experience and now it's over.
I hope you find something else that gives you passion in your life .

Congratulations on the decision not to stay just for the money .

Thank you for what you did for Starcraft .

In my opinion you were your biggest enemy , in the end .
Radu .
I love Starcraft .

When you went to eSTRO and CJ we all felt like we were there with you. That alone was worth so much. You shouldn't have a second thought about leaving if you don't like the game.
