Hype, hype, hype!! Super excited to see what an offline SC2 premier tournament is like since end of 2019 where Dark and Reynor faced each other in Blizzcon. Didn't watch IEM Katowice 2020. The previous time was when Stephano won an MLG back in 2011 or 2012 I think.

Also giving the benefit of the doubt to MaxyPaxy for trying not to catch covid, but I guess he's still kind of shy on showing his face. Hopefully he can be bold and come at his own pace and comfort. We would love to support him more often and compete at a high level.

Really cool that Zest can stay around the scene for a little bit longer. It's going to be a great competition overall.

LOL shadowverse gives out over $1m USD to first place for the world championship? that's sick

Also it's not productive to speculate about why anyone isn't participating. They don't owe it to anyone to compete for their entertainment.

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!


What did people say about him?

Sad for MaxPax, not just in this IEM but what about the coming season where offline events are coming back? ESL really should think of a way to make it work for him.
Also, hell yeah we got both Zest and herO playing.

competitive video game player rejects huge opportunity for money and glory.. because he doesn't want to show his face???

just have a balaklava + shades and a cap on then but play the tournament! bizarre..

It's probably more a matter of social anxiety than the face's reveal itself - hood and shades would only bring more attention in a sense.
Still, that's a quite sad turn of event, makes you wonder what Maxpax's plans are for the coming months with - hopefully - more and more events getting back offline.

He doesn't owe me anything, but I'm a big enough fan that I want what's best for him. He seriously has such high potential, I sure hope he will overcome this hurdle

Maxpax Fighting!

Hey that's my tweet! I'm honored.


As Wax said, it doesn't HELP to speculate....but as a huge MaxPax fanboy I just can't help but feel so sad that he won't get a chance to shine on the biggest and brightest stage. I really believe in his potential. With a good bracket, round of 8 is conceivable and I want him to show the world what he's capable of.

I totally respect his wishes. but selflishly FeelsBadMan

I wonder what the chance would be that Zest has to pull out last minute, letting Classic qualify.

I feel like the Ro36 should be online or just not included in the tournament honestly. Just complicates logistics for not a very important reason tbh

That's a very specific milestone

Also worth noting, that's it's just for prize money.
When you consider salaries etc the top guys have already easily earned over a million
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment
