At a time where TeamLiquid is growing and expanding, there is an empty place amongst us. He was a great writer, great moderator, BW historian, and a good friend. There is no one among us that knew more about the progaming scene than he, and few that brought his passion. His reports brought us the results from Korea, but his style brought the games alive in our minds.

Mensrea informed the staff last month that he will no longer be continuing with the website. Although I attempted to write something myself, I find that it was all inadequate. Therefore, I will let the words speak for themselves.
Dear Friends + Staff,

It is with a mixed sense of sadness and relief that I declare my "resignation" from my position here on TL.net. Although I am usually quite prone to being verbose in my explanation of things, I will make a merciful exception in this case and not go into detail regarding this decision. Suffice it to say that my reasons are my own.

I have taken immense joy and, yes, even pride in observing this site grow into one of the premier English language SC sites on the web. I now take my leave with the satisfaction of knowing that I played a part in the development of this sometimes-cool, sometimes-trying, but always-interesting community.

I wish everyone involved with the running of this site the very best. May you all find peace, fulfillment and happiness.

Yours Truly,

mensrea


From myself, and all the other staff, I wish mensrea the best in whatever the future holds. As someone who was inspired to write by your reports, I will continue to try and improve upon what you helped create.

Regards,
Manifesto7 and the TL.net staff.

It's kind of an ironic moment to me when im so sad about someone who i actually knew so little about leaving.

it would have been nice if we could get to know him better, he's probably one of the most eclectic people ive ever seen.
if you guys could use google and post direct links to the maphacks here it would be greatly appreciated. - Nazgul

Id say I'm sad, but it would be in a selfish way. I won't have the luxury of waking up to the literary genius that is mensrea. By saying this saddens me, I look at it from the completely wrong perspective. He's more than paid his dues here, he's provided more than we could ask for, I should be happy for him that he now has the peace of mind to move on. Id like to extend my deepest thanks and gratitude, you have made Brood War more enjoyable for me. Good luck in any and everything you do, but something tells me you won't need luck. You have a good head on your shoulders.

Thanks for everything, and I'm sure you'll always have a place set for you here at TL, or so to speak. You and your charming personality will be sorely missed.
