They have a balance team already, so they'll probably just pick someone inside it to lead.
No prejudices, i hate everyone equally.

I dont wanna be the guy but this "Blizzard Entertainment is seeking an experienced engine engineer to work on a robust first-person engine for an unannounced project." So it is not WC4 or any RTS

Also for everyone so scared, he must noticed his supervisor in advance so there is already another guy to step up, but he is probally still taking over DKs job

Good luck DK I would not have liked to be in your shoes as you pretty much got the blame for everything balance related, but you did a great job.
I am a slave of Golden from now on. Obey a supreme leader of StarCraft 2 or you get banned. I am really glad to be citizen of Democratic republic of Golden.

I sat next to D Kim at WCS Toronto two years ago. It was the 2v2 Red Bull tournament and I saw him in the seating area when it was on a break and had a chat with him. Nice guy. Hope he does well in his next project.

Wow. Everyone always hated all over David Kim for years and asked for him to step down and all that memery, but I'm legitimately a little sad that he's done. Regardless of if he did great work or not, he has been with us since the very beginning.

Best of luck in the future, DK.

DK, I've disagreed (and still do!) with you often, but your passion for this game cannot be denied. Thank you for your hard work, and the best of luck in your future endeavours. May your next game be just as awesome as this one!

Despite all the complaints and the negativity, no one can deny the fact that David Kim worked his butt off for SC2 and really put int a lot of time and effort. Thank you for all that you've done DK and I sincerely hope that you find success in your future endeavors. Best of luck!

It was about time David Kim quit SC2. New LotV meta is just boring. I feel like WoL meta and early LotV were the most enjoyable ones. Broodlord/infestor wasn't great but swarm hosts and cyclones aren't great either.
