Nothing, really, he never came back to SC2 like Vortix did. He played Heroes for Liqud and then retired (for school, I think?) while Vortix moved to SC2.

He's still technically on the team and plays in tournaments from time to time though.

Good choice. SC2 isn't like what it used to be in WoL. Ridiculously small player base and Blizzard aren't active. Their time is spent on other games.

Again? I thought he retired like a year ago to play Heroes of the Storm for TL?

Liquipedia says he's on the team. But he's basically retired, and only plays in WCS qualifiers.

If he doesn't like it, he just doesn't. I did buy LotV even after being disappointed in the beta, still play it because I really want to like it, yet I don't like it, at all. Maybe he tried to force himself to like the game due to nostalgia?

If this was the case, why come back as a progamer? He could've stayed on an amateur level until he was 100% sure.

Not a fan of players that retire and unretire all the time or announce big comeback just to whine about the game 2 months later, foreign scene is harder than ever it looks like


EXACTLY!
I can understand players who actually genuinely struggle and invest some serious effort if they're taken on a serious team, put up a fight and show they care about the chance they're given and fans and whatnot, and THEN announce a retirement that is worth something

Wasnt this guy announced as the big hype by Kaelaris just recently?

I have newfound respect for players who actually continue to play the game, and dont announce retirements like theyre important or something.

Playing zerg these days probably does not help with motivation, especially with protoss still being incredibly hard to crack and at any point being able to blindside an unwitting zerg.
Vector locked in.

Do you really have to go out of your way to turn a completely unrelated thread into balance whine?

he probably did the comeback just for the opportunity of monetize with the region lock situation, but found the game really not funny when he started training hard, honestly i can't blame him

This game can be absolutely punishing to play. Anyone who has played hard, at any level, and pushed hard to improve, knows this.

It almost seems like a taboo subject, that isn't brought up enough. But most people who have really put 100% into this game know what I mean. It's like running into a brick wall at full speed multiple times a day.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who play it consistently (like MC or TLO) and can stay focused. These people are made of stuff that I don't understand. And to those who stop playing, bow out, I totally understand because I think we have all done it at some level, with achieving far less than Vortix.

Yup that was my first thought too.

Guess even Foreign land WCS was too hard for him now.
