The most recognizable 2v2 player and one of the most active SC2 streamers, featured on TL for a bit as well, Mike 'ProTech' Ballman quits playing and streaming StarCraft. He was most known for winning PTSL Season 2 and being #1 2v2 random player on multiple servers' ladders, Korean included for several seasons straight.
As announced on his facebook page:
I'm done streaming SC2, thank you all for viewing and supporting me throughout the years. I will be streaming diferent games from now on. Facebook source
Thank you for being one of the most entertaining streamers and good luck in whatever you decide to stream from now on.

That's a shame. Hope he finds a game that he feels comfortable with
|
It was fun to watch his stream, so I guess it will be fun whatever game he plays!
|
This is a real shame, it was a lot of fun sniping him and watching him complain whilst losing
|
So that's the guy that seemingly always had a stream on. I never knew who he was until now.
Good luck in the future.

Later Protech. Hopefully we'll see you come back to the 2v2 ladder after LotV ^.^v

I liked the stream a lot, good luck in the future.

I've known him since the Broodwar BGH age, I can't imagine him quitting. I'm sure he'll continue to play, maybe without streaming which is sad because I also do enjoy watching his stream.

Aw, that's a pity.  Thanks for all your streaming, and gl with your new silly games, whichever they may be.
Who will pick up the 2v2 streaming ball now?

xdd, sorry but a troll who played in bronze league for 3 years criying about hacks every time he lost a game, is not the "The most recognizable 2v2 player" Power,kAra,Lillekanin,Snute,Aristeo,Cubert... just to say a few ones are like 10 times better xD. Anyway good luck to him.

Can't believe this, streaming SC2 for so long and playing Broodwar for like 15yrs before that no other 2v2 stream comes close to that level of play except maybe Backtothis but who wants to watch a Terran play 2v2 every game.
Hopefully Mike will be back for the next expansion!

liked his music a lot : )
|
The best 2s streamer. Sad to see you go. Good luck
|
i guess reddit has something to do with it
|

People who post this must really not try to find other 2v2 streams because there are quite a few way better 2v2ers who get like 1/10th of protech's viewers.
All this guy ever did was call you a hacker and bm you on ladder while cussing at you on stream. If people really are interested in 2v2 streams, rather than this guy's complaining, I do hope they support other players at this point. + Show Spoiler +On March 18 2014 21:32 ETisME wrote: i guess reddit has something to do with it lololol

Oh yeah he is. Maybe it's his byebye stream. Maybe he just really wants to be featured again.
Edit: It says "[Rebroadcast] Blast from the past"
