Makes sense. Catz isn't primarily a progamer, he's a businessman and streamer in the esports industry. If he gets burned out with the grind, it's good for him to lay back, have some fun for a while, maybe get Nomo and Ostkaka invited to some tournaments, and support his boys in WCS and the TI5 qualifiers.

I totally agree, if this means that the quality of ROOT goes up as a whole, it's a good move.

We're all dissatisfied with hots. Now that we've tasted something else, we don't want to go back. I only watch sc2 to see if Naniwa or State or Kane are doing well. Sometimes Catz, depending on tourney :D

Serious oversaturation lately too. Do we really need to stream every qualifier so we have 24/7 events? Couldn't we combine a few events into larger ones with larger stakes, or make a league as per QXC's blog?

I'm honestly okay with there being content almost 24/7. If you don't watch basetrade then you've basically got only the premier tournaments to watch anyways.

He should spend his time off working on his team Root in general needs to produce more content as a squad. They seem to have been fading this past 18 months and I am unsure if this is because of the lack of hours CatZ puts into his team or not.

He will come back.

Stronger. Better. He will start a revolution.

Best of luck CatZ see you around!

Have a nice break.

All the people saying they don't like HOTS balance, don't kid yourselves. All these people will quit LOTV within 1 week. It's not the balance; it's you.

Totally don't blame him for this, his reasoning is very sound. For CatZ it makes a lot more sense to keep up with Dota and Hearthstone as well, all the best to him, and I hope we see him again soon.

I think this is just one of CatZ publicity stunts, he will be streaming SC2 again at the beginning of next week. :-p

CatZ eliminated me from both qualifiers of Copa América. Now I have a chance!

In all seriousness, it sucks a player takes a break because there is simply nothing else to do in NA until next WCS season.

Sounds reasonable to me. LotV needs some time and testing to get it to a higher level than WoL and HotS were at.

I'm getting my first full weekend of lotv this weekend. Getting creamed by Catz would have been such an honor.

Good for him. Looking forward to seeing him play void down the road.

Seems strange to me that CatZ always brings up balance throughout the years, but hes never been good enough for Balance to even play much of a part in his games. His mechanics have been letting him down since 2010.

Balance is always secondary to skill.

I really believe that if Catz wanted to, he could move to Seoul and gain employment being a Zerg coach for one of the teams there...He has mad respect from all the Zergs in Korea as a massive innovator.

Except most people never come back once they take a "break".
I guess that he doesn't find sc2 as fun to play as hearthstone,mobas,cs:go, etc. anymore, like many other sc2 personalities/casters anyway.

If anything I'd say the opposite... most people who say they are done for good end up coming back xD
