elfi's statement:
"So for the last moths I ve been having serious motivation issues for esports and last month its simply impossible to open the game and practise alot. I did have good run in copenhagen games and qualified for wcs challenger but still didnt feel good at all and didnt really prepare for my premier game at all. Now Im going to have total break from sc2. I dont know how long it will take to start playing again, maby just week but its possible I will retire from esports. Luckily my team Vega totally understands this and will support me with the decision I will make so I will be staying in Vega and will make comeback with them if I m going to continue. Thx for all the fans for their support and lets hope I get my motivation back!"

He joined Vega almost 2 months ago.

Awww... sad to hear, but perhaps a good idea nonetheless. Good luck in whatever path you choose to pursue (although I hope it involves making a comeback  )!

I hope for the best for him. Like Lucifron, he's a great, entertaining talent who has stunned Koreans before and hopefully will return from inactivity to do again.

NOOOOOOOOOOO OMG NOO

|
This blows... hopefully he'll be back though. Sometimes people just need breaks.

Welmu is the Son.

Sad news, but might be the right decision if he can gain his motivation back. I won't mourn until he is out for good.

ahh damn forgot Serral. I guess Serral took Welmus place as son, and Welmu is now the Ghost after Naama left : 3

I hope he'll be back
He is an icon ...

Noooo, God has forsaken us! We are all doomed to a deistic existence
|
Good luck, come back with a vengeance
|
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.
|
awww cmon, this sucks so much :/
|
|
|
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.
|
So many people taking breaks/retiring recently. =(
|
fuck man... elfi is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good...

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.
|
I fully support elfi and his decisions. I just really hope he comes back soon!
|
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.
|
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 :[[[
|
aww dang tough news. glhf elfi
|
Noo...noooo...thats not true....thats impossible
Nooooooooooooooooooooo noooooooooooooooooo
|
Join a new company, get the paycheck and take vacation. GG Move ^^
ps: gl elfi, lets hope we see some young european rise. or buy new european that look like korean but are clearly european
|
|
|
he'll be back, just stronger!
|
Serral is more like baby Jesus, no?
I always think of ![[image loading]](http://www.evolutiongoya.com/img_cartas/serra_angel_promo.jpg)
Cats are killing e-sports Hope Elfi will come back stronger than ever.
|
This is a pretty big hit especially for finnish esports..
|
damn, that hurts our nation wars team
|
This hurts my heart, hope he finds the motivation again.
|
So sad Hope he will come back....

Is this beginning of Ragnarök?

this is so sad...
tbh samuli didn't even know me but watching his stream, I always considered him my friend because he's such a nice guy. People from Finland in general are different but in a positive way...
Samuli I hope you'll find some rest, maybe you pick up the game again, I would be happy...
and I love PEKKA too!!

looks like yesterday's Starcraft2.fi 4 year cup was a sign preview of Elfi coming back!!
http://t.co/9L6HLHdEx1
Last weeks I've started to play Starcraft again little bit and it feels again pretty good I don't have to force myself to play the game anymore. I had only like 16 days total break from opening Starcraft but already again felt like wanting to win and compete in big tours. So I m officially returning to play for my team Vega. For now I'm aiming to get in good shape for Dreamhack: Valencia and try to repeat my last year top 8 there! Big thanks for my team for their support in my decisions and pekka is best!
