Hey guys,making this twitlonger to announce that i'll take a step back from sc2 after WESG.As you may know i really don't love playing the game since the start of 2016, i think the game design is really going in the wrong way since the release of lotv, the new major patch confirmed my thought . I'm not going into details but for now i'll try to become an overwatch progamer, i really like the game, I know it's a very hard transition to go from a RTS to a FPS so i can't be sure i'll be succesfull, but i'm taking the risk .
A big shoutout to llewelys and millenium for supporting me since 4 years, letting me play for the best french team even if i had a pathetic start and a very bad first year.
I will obviously play for team france in nation war, and play the wesg tournament in china as i already made my visa and everything was booked (i will represent millenium in those tournament)
Thanks to every fan who supported me during those 3,4 years of progaming even if my result
were very inconsistent.

Another pro quitting because of Blizzard's incompetence. What a surprise. I swear they don't listen to pro feedback at all, they just do their own thing.

They read reddit, not a lot of pros post there though.

I wonder what he's placed in OW right now. I sure hope he's high masters++, else it'll be quite difficult, I think.

Even if they read Reddit they'd realize how terrible they've done with the game for the last 6 years, especially with the new changes. Pretty much everyone there said that they changes were going to be a disaster, which they were.

Sad news :-(
But at least people will stop asking me if I'm Marinelord now

seems to me it'd be pretty easy for Blizzard to pick say 5-10 SC2 pro players & have a little conference with them to find out what the players have to say about game design & balance. Talk to Jaedong, talk to Flash, talk to anyone who's anybody in the game & get the ship turned around in the right direction. I know Blizz supposedly had a conference before the launch of LOTV where various personalities attended, but i dont know if theyve ever looked at speaking with 'game czars'. They've admitted they dont play their game that much, perhaps speaking to those who have would be beneficial for everyone.

Except for when what Flash says is the opposite of what Jaedong says. And that's slightly different than what Scarlett says, but that idea goes well with what sOs said. But those things would contradict what Neeb says.
Sub in names for anyone you feel would belong on this panel and you'll see the problem. Everyone is going to see the game and balance differently, to the point where two people will say the complete opposite things both believing they're true

Which is exactly why you need an effective design team that can actually design the game, understands what the game needs, and knows when an idea is good or bad.

I wish Blizzard had the cash to hire all the expert game developers that hang around on Team Liquid.
Sucks that he feels like he has to retire, but when you don't enjoy the game you can't really force yourself without some major sadness in your life. Don't really see how transitioning from RTS to FPS is going to work out, though. Seems like skills that won't really swap over.
Has there ever been anyone who's switched game genres and been successful in both?

Just cut your sarcasm...
Noone is an expert game developer here, what we are saying is they dont play the game.
We are players, they dont listen to us.
There are many bug fixes and improvements that could be in the game way earlier if they actually played the game and knew what is happening there, like how channels were needed, UI improvements or replay tools are still not really good. The community had to cry a long time to get the resume from replay feature.

sC and Noblesse switched from SC2 to Heroes and they recently won the Fall Championship. Quite few other strong SC2 koreans players are playing in top korean teams (e.g. MVP Black).
