Naturally, but gradually scaling down the amount of matches you play has to be a better way to "retire" than abruptly stopping for a few weeks/months only to come back and have to start the process over again. I know that life-changing decisions don't come easy or are easy to stick to, but recurring comebacks only serve to make it worse. | ||

HOTS is basically the same game as WOL minus the brood lord infestor. It's been the same game for 4 years. You either love it or you don't. If you're the kind of person who goes for new games, you'll be bored in 2 weeks anyway. Not to mention, if they quit for a year, you would hope they would pursue some career and be too busy to just come back on a whim. | ||

They quit because of a combination of rational and emotional reasons (no results, it's pointless, losing feels bad) and come back because (they are missing the thrill, it's hard to find other things to fill their time with, it's something they are good at). Pretty easy to understand with just a tiny bit of thought. | ||

They say they're retired and then keep showing up in qualifiers, hoping to make it into a big tournament to have a reason to come back. I mean at this point; I almost feel like "I'm retiring" is a way for a player to fool himself into playing without pressure for a while, rediscovering the passion for the game and then returning to being a pro. They just want hugs. | ||
