I hope he can get his motivation back. It happens, but let's hope this isn't it.

Please don't retire elfi. It's too huge hit to finnish sc2 scene if you do :'( However, maybe there's no point in playing if you don't enjoy it anymore... Still I hope so much you will gain your passion back and come back even stronger!

I've only ever seen elfi to be nonchalant so it's a little amusing to hear the news, but also sad because he is talented.

Hopefully he comes back stronger, seems to be a trend for players these days that take time off.

As a long-term fan it sucks hearing you take a brake but if that's what you feel is the correct choice right now then so be it.

Goodluck with whatever you will do in the mean time and hope to see you back soon

That can't end this way. I can't believe it. God will return. Stronger than ever.

StarCraft 2.

Elfi was one of my favorite players to watch when I followed the scene closely, its sad to read this. Hope he finds himself having fun playing SC2, maybe not as a professional, when LotV comes out. His matches are very interesting to watch.

Unfortunate to hear about the lack of motivation, but whatever makes you happy.

As a Finnish SC2 fan I still do hope that you find it and that we can continue to watch your wacky games that make us feel all sorts of emotions.
why even

Hopefully he gets his flame back a bit from a short break and practices a lot when he comes back!

losing elfi would be such a shame to our competitive scene :[ we've already lost so much weight, losing #godofprotoss would be heartbreaking :[[[
Throw on your favorite jacket and you're good to roll. Stroll through the trees and let your miseries go.
