Looking forward to seeing the now-retired MaSa nevertheless show up at NA events/qualifiers and cheese out the NA pros.

There's retirement and then there's SC2 retirement

But who will break my heart now and knock out Scarlett in NA qualifiers?

Good luck out there, MaSa!

the dude was never consistently active in his entire career of starcraft and was still mega good. I considered him one of the most talented players ever on NA.

he will make more money as a biomedical engineer rather than a full-time progammer anyway. he can still stream as a hobby. he was also competing at part-time as well. however his skill ceiling remains unknown since perhaps he could have been a solid foreign terran if he had done it full time, but none the less there is not much money one can accumulate unless if your at the very top of this sport other then that its better he pursues a more financially stable job.

Very impressive that you were a professional SC2 player while simultaneously completing a degree in biomedical engineering! Now that you are actively job seeking, does SC2 go on the resume..? XD

What a respectable gentleman! Good job Masa, thanks for the years of entertainment. It sounds like SC2 was a healthy and positive part of your life and congrats on finding a really good reason to move on from it. GL HF searching for jobs out there.
