Sucky for WC3, mTw and for the undead race. This guy was a rising star with plenty of potential.

It's not really a big deal, I just got bored of the game after ESWC. This has nothing to do with the new patch, or any problems really, if anyone is wondering. Plus, this year's schoolwork is heavier and piles upon the college application process," Aether says.


Full article: http://www.wcreplays.com/ - very interesting read!

Seemed like a cool guy. I met him @ NY/NJ WCG. The one thing that surprised me was how supportive his parents were of his gaming. There were there, cheering him on, talking to him between games. I don't know two much about the WC3 scene, but he seemed like a big-time player.

His achievements are listed on the site, he was good, but imo more importantly a growing player with potential. His skills against Human were very strong! mTw will miss him bigtime.

He looks Asian, so something tells me he has Asian parents. That must explain the full support :D

I find it somewhat arrogant and ridiculous when someone announces their "Retirement" from gaming. I'm sorry i just do..

Heh, if Boxer quit I'd like to know.

Same if anyone I know would quit or if some prominent player quits.. Instead of wondering where did they go etc. Reduces threads with that theme too~~

It's a good point, but you got to realise that WC3 is a BIG THING and certain gamers are tiny celebrities with fanboys who would really want to know such a thing. That and sites want to cover such stuff, people like to be heard, etc etc!

OK perhaps it isnt. Though I understand it, I don't agree :D Especially if you see what gaming has become!

Unless it's a huge name progamer, such as Boxer, then announcing a "retirement" is pretty dumb.
