Who is NTT?
He was an old-school Brood War player back in 2000.
I would appear that NTT have decided to quit playing Starcraft 2.

Farewell dear noobs. Enjoy your mbs, your automing, your warp-in, your reactors, your void rays, your stim and your blink. I've had it with the gimmicks and the lack of fundamental RTS gameplay. What a waste of time this has been.
Drama queen out.

The game is just not demanding enough mechanically. It's just gimmicks upon gimmicks upon gimmicks. Maps are horrendous, balance is non existent, gameplay is straightjacketed, and monkeys can be trained to execute some of these build orders. Micro is easy, macro is easy and games are won or lost based purely on randomly chosen build orders. Time management is non existent because 60 apm means you can do everything with pro-gamer efficiency. From Brood War to this is like going from F1 to a go-kart.
I gave the game an honest chance, but it's trash, sorry to say. Gave a bunch of free wins in my last 10 or so games. Might do some more insta f10-n'ing should I feel generous. If anyone poor needs an account, you can have this one as soon as Blizzard allows the free name change.
Noobs won't understand my issues with the game because they're noobs, c'est la vie.

This makes you wonder what will be the future of Starcraft 2 competitive gaming, especially if you consider the big BW players that have just moved (or is planning to move) to SC2.
What do you think? Is this a preview of what is to come, or is NTT just rage-quitting? :/
(obviously, it should be noted that this might just be a troll from NTT, but it's kind of a harsh troll if so)

[EDIT 2 (IMPORTANT)]
Clarification.
Apparently my excessive usage of hyperbole has spawned an epic thread on team Liquid.

Since I don't have an account there, I will make some comments here.
Darwin said “It's not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.”
Unfortunately it appears I am most unresponsive to change, as I can't seem to adapt to these new conditions. Mainly, I tend to lose more (a lot more) than one game in a million which seems unacceptable to me.
This has caused a degree of frustration, which expressed hyperbolically has created quite a stir in StarCraft II land. Perhaps I should express my opinions less condescendingly and without flavor to avoid all misunderstanding in the future. Be aware though, that I am not as emotionally invested as some of my rage-filled drama posts might suggest.
My sincere opinion about StarCraft II is that it's a decent game, well worth playing, but does not compare favorably to its predecessor. In time, it might. However unlikely this may seem at present.
Henceforth my trolling will be more controlled and less impactful, although always with a kernel of truth. More subtle if you will, like this post.
