"TL no longer requires my services" sounds a bit bitter tbh... hope they parted ways amicably. Big MaNa fan since day 1! Best of luck on his endeavours, YouTube seems to be a good career path for him!

I had the same thoughts. Title is a bit misleading based on the tweet it sounds like he was let go.
Remember that we all come from a place of passion!!

I was lucky enough to talk to MaNa a few years ago and he told me he really liked this article. This tounament remains one of my favorite WCS events to this day and will always hold a spot in my heart.

I remember Mana playing BroodWar really well as a youngster back in the day (back when his brother was the better player of the two), getting better and better with each passing year, and then after transitioning to SC2 the moment it came out he made quite a splash in the scene. I'm glad to know he's not dropping the game even still.

I was nowhere near as "big" in the SC scene as him, I haven't been an active player for ages now, I did not start as young as MaNa did, and yet both Starcrafts still remain a very important part of my life. I can only imagine how much more it means to him.

I mean, since it is clear the decision was one sided and is not on him (this much is clear from the tweet), a more elegant title would have been "part ways", not leaves.
