They made it back in through end of years promotion/relegation playoffs. Pooped all over CJ. Surprised MC knows enough to be a coach. Good on him for getting some more dirty e-sports dollars though. | ||

The funny thing always was how dependent SC2 community is on people playing/casting/covering it and not on the game itself, I have a feeling other games just have it other way around | ||

I'm probably the first one to take a swipe at Blizzard, and I have very frank and realistic opinions on the state and health of Starcraft 2. But MC and Jaedong retired all but in name already. I'm thinking the same way. | ||

I suspect the scene will get smaller and smaller, so it's pretty reasonable to move on to other games/things. | ||

Min Chul is a grown man and eventually everyone has to move on from the Esports dream and find real jobs that can sustain an adult life style. Even for someone as financially successful as MC, this is great news that means he gets to continue to work and contribute in the industry he loves. Good for him and I'll be cheering for him even if I personally don't care for the game he's working in currently. It's been like that for long time now, I think Day9 stopping doing SC2 related stuff was the first instance for the true colors of the community to show. I don't remember similar thing happening when Husky started to move away from the game. And it's not TL, it's this community as a whole, stupidity is even more rampant on sc2 subreddit, can't say much for battle.net forums. And by the way MC publicly said some time ago that he was giving money to his mother, so his earnings is not really the bank account balance he has. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but I'm pretty sure of that | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong though, but I'm pretty sure of that I see your point. I do believe a big reason Day9 and Husky didn't get much grief is because there was no announcement. Just kind of slowly faded away into other things. And it's not all that toxic. Its the internet, and unfortunately the toxic people stick out like a sore thumb. Most of the posts here are just sad to see MC go and wish him luck. | ||
