Today marks the end of a big part of my life.
Today, I am no longer a StarCraft II pro gamer.
This has been one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make,
and I've taken a lot of time to think about it to make sure it is the right one.
Recently, I started playing DotA again, and I realized that right now this is the game
that I can play for almost unlimited amount of hours with no breaks. Whereas StarCraft II has become to me, a game that I have to force myself really hard to play.
It's not that I've lost all my passion for StarCraft. It really isn't.
I still love the game, the community and the tournaments.
The problem is, if I don't practice, I can't do well enough in tournaments to satisfy myself.
I get really depressed and it's just not a healthy situation.
I used to be able to play 6-10 hours a day easily, in WoL when I was incredibly motivated, and it showed in my results. Even though I never won a big tournament, I had some really solid finishes at the biggest tournaments.
I'm sorry to all the fans who still cheer for me in SC2, I hope you will continue through
my transition into DotA 2, and know that I really really appreciate you all! <3
I will play my WCS matches while I'm still part of the system, but if/once I'm knocked completely out (of Challenger) you probably won't be seeing me play StarCraft II for quite some time.
I will try out the game when Legacy of the Void comes out, but I can't promise I will be back.

Wow. I respect your decision but I am very disappointed at the same time.

good luck on your way. sometimes, going on is the best thing to do (and hey, you can always come back )
|
Good luck BBK, I hope to see more of you in LotV!

I have always seen you as the dota player since the Dota League days. Seeing you up there with the other high ranked players and your sweet replays. I think this is the right thing for you man! 2009-2010, those were the days!
Best of luck!

GG :c Best of luck with DotA 2 though!

Welcome back (:
When you come back, pls, tell to Online Kingdom, that it's time to finally come back as well, Valve will probably rework SF's model before this time.

That's sad to hear Jon, you're still a great player. Good luck anyway on DotA 2, maybe TI5 ? 
Millenium's lineup is now reduced to one race.
