Sad about Maxpax
Happy about Zest though
|
My theory that MaxPax is secretly Idra continues to go uncontested

Maxpax not going is a bummer whatever his reasons are. If it really is a privacy thing I bet it adds to his anxiety or whatever reason he has for not "revealing" himself that people are so hyped up to see what he looks like. Reminds me a bit of the shirtless Rotti thing which was done in good fun but I'm sure it's a little unnerving to have a whole internet community champing at the bit for something like that.

maxpax probably has some sort of social anxiety issues. always had that as well but it extended to phone calls, possible team speak/ skype things etc. part of the reason i never really tried to get better at starcraft :D
i feel for maxpax but totally understand him

Anyone know why Keen declined his spot? He's not the most storied of the military returnees but he was doing decently, I hope he's still playing.

MaxPax not going is realy sad, but not totally unexpected ![](/mirror/smilies/frusty.gif) He said in his stream like one year ago, that he doesn t think, he ll ever Play at Lan, seems like he didn t change his mind (yet)

Probably because he doesn t want to travel for 350$.. He would realistically only beat 1-2 opponents Max before getting eliminated and he would probably have to spent the entire week. I Don t know, if he s actually a Pro or Amateur at this point, so it could be possible he simple doesn t want to take days of from whatever else he s doing when not playing..

we now just need groups to be announced

MaxPax would've been guaranteed $2000 for a ro24 spot, so the money is definitely worth it (especially because he's in Denmark)

Does it mean that MLord is officialy an AoEIV player from now on?

Most likely an AoE IV streamer and player yes...

Crazy to decline a chance to win $170k over something like privacy concerns or really any personal reasons. While I wouldn't give Maxpax a particularly high chance of winning it definitely wouldn't be 0% either. Even if he just made it out of his group he'd win 10k+. I wonder if his family is extremely rich. There's potential life changing money on the line for the vast majority of people in the world.

The twitch meme about MP secretly being royalty is starting to make a lot of sense: doesn't care about money but needs privacy?
In all seriousness, maybe he'll retire before we find out who he is. That would be an interesting arc, but probably an understandable one, however disappointing

I'm honestly feeling kind of sad for MaxPax, I get the stress of showing your face after so many people talked about you and/or not wanting to be on the internet. But man, you gotta have some pride in what you do, calling it quit to stay private when you have a shot a being the world champion and live changing money is a hard pill to swallow.
With that said, hopefully he rip that band-aid off at some point The Starcraft 2 scene would be dearly missing if every weird loner would have stayed at home. (And I say that dearly as a fellow weird loner) (And if you readying, no one seriously care about what you look like Max Pax, like not at all)
On the plus side, Zest is best and will live forever!

This is THE tournament where four players Maru, Serral, Rogue, and Dark will have a chance to be the first to break $1,000,000 in tournament winnings. That's quite a historic milestone for esports history because it will be the FIRST player in any non-TCG (Shadowverse) 1v1 game to break one million!
