Millenium has announced that the Spanish Zerg takes an indefinite break from StarCraft.

After six months in the structure, VortiX has decided to take a break from StarCraft II since the game doesn’t interest him as much anymore. He is however leaving the door open to a comeback in a few months if the passion comes back.
VortiX stepping down from StarCraft is a hard blow for both the Spanish and the European scene. In Spain, Juan has been the number one player after LucifroN announced his retirement. His status was not uncontested since he lost to Majestic in the finals of Gamergy season 1 for instance. But season 2 has been the occasion for the Millenium zerg to balance things back to where they always should have been. After two victories in the qualifiers and a clear domination during the offline finals, VortiX showed once and for all that he is the true Spanish king.


Millenium roster :
(T)Dayshi
(T)DieStar
(T)ForGG
(P)Lilbow
(Z)MaddeLisk
(T)MarineLorD

He's one of my favorite foreigners too...

Was always dreaming of the day he could go to Korea to compete.

Bummer, it was great cheering for him in WCS Europe this year and seeing him succeed so much. Hope that he returns with LotV!

Dang, that's terrible. Even when he was playing part time, dude was a top 5 foreigner. Maybe he'll back for LotV hopefully.

I remember back when vortix was in his prime, he damn well may have been the best foreigner.

Damn shame, easily top5 foreigner when he is active.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Heroes of the Storm, I believe both brothers are already playing in tournaments.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

Yep.

Both LucifroN and VortiX are part of Millenium's HotS team. Pretty sure they'll make the switch. I expect a lot of other players to do the same.
I like words.

Well this sucks. Along with Snute, Scarlett and Bunny he was one of the only real threats to Koreans in tournaments, when he chose to play.

He went on to play Heroes of the Storm, both him and Lucifron together with some other guys (I think some of them are Spanish ex-sc2 players too) and their team is pretty good. I would actually be surprised if they aren't top 5 EU team since they are really solid atm.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do!
I hope Vortix can come back to SC2 LotV and win some stuff.
