 Glad to see BossToss back, hope he will do well, because 2019 is probably his last year before military service | ||

7:20am - 9am: Wake up and exercise 9am - 9:30am: Breakfeast. This is when the stream starts. 9:30am - 12am: Morning practice 12am - 1pm: lunch break 1pm - 4:30pm: Afternoon practice session 4:30pm - 6pm: Break 6pm-7pm: Dinner 7pm-10pm: Night practice session 10pm - 12pm: Free Time 12pm: Sleep Seems like he will stream pretty much all his practice. If he does not find a good team or main sponsor, fans will be his sponsors. He will print shirts with the donators of the month on them and represtent his stream supporters during tournaments. | ||

He was good because of his micro, not because of abusing OP stuff. Yes he relied on allins...like the majority of toss during that time. It will be hard for him to climb back on top but i wish him the best. We need more entertaining players like him. | ||

I still stand by the opinion that Dream reached the highest peak skill level we've ever seen in sc2 and he's still very young. Never really understood why he retired. | ||

I decided to take a quick look at how things were going around here since I dropped off from checking up on the SC2 scene and was a little sad; especially at how sparse things look with so few actual proper teams there are now. But seeing MC back is an awesome positive. | ||

The dude has a fun personality that brings entertainment outside of the game itself which is always nice to have. I don't care if he wins championships, and this obsession with his skill level before he's even had a chance to prove himself from both his fans and his detractors is just confusing to me. He's a fun personality that happens to be good at the game. Can't we just enjoy what he brings to the table and not worry about whether or not he can live up to his 2011/2012 status before he's even played in a major tournament since his return? starcraft fans: "foreigners are shit, b tier koreans are shit, casuals are shit, anyone slumping is shit, this game is shit, i am shit, you are shit" the same starcraft fans, moments later: "why isn't anyone interested in sc2???? is it because the public isn't SMART enough for it??? if only there were something i could do to make this game seem appealing to outsiders... maybe i should keep talking about how shit it is"  | ||

I decided to take a quick look at how things were going around here since I dropped off from checking up on the SC2 scene and was a little sad; especially at how sparse things look with so few actual proper teams there are now. But seeing MC back is an awesome positive. It feels like the Korean progamer scene has shrunk quite a bit and the foreigner scene isn't really getting much new blood as well. However, viewership has been on the upswing this year and there are still a ton of minor and medium tournaments. I visit TL nearly daily and I feel like there is some tourney going on and being streamed basically every single day. The Korean scene is nowhere close to what it used to be in WoL and major tournaments are quite rare outside of Blizzard sponsored ones, but sc2 is still alive and kicking, and it looks like it still has at least a couple more years of top level progaming in it. | ||

The man is an icon. If he has ANY impact on the pro scene it's a gift. I wish him all the best of luck. Any impact MC has on the scene can only be positive. Thank you. No matter what race you play, MC is amazing for SC2. We should be thankful and root for him to have the same impact as before. | ||
