Just saw this (re)tweet from DeMuslim:



If this indeed means what we think it means, it's yet another big blow to the SC2 pro gaming scene. Kas was easily one of the best European Terrans ever in SC2.

If this is true, it's really sad. I liked Kas, he was really good. He and Happy were my two favorite EU Terrans for along time.

That was Beasty, I miss him too .

I'm confused why he blames David Kim for HIS inability to succeed. It makes no sense to me.

All the hate on David Kim... I don't think it's all his fault for the small imbalances sc2 has sometimes.

I once saw Kas losing horribly in a TvP because of storms. He did not build a single ghost and it seemed that he ragequitted after that game.

Kas was a monster from time to time however and I wish him the best in w/e he's going to do next.

Kas is the last Terran I thought would stop because of the works of David Kim and Co.
Well such are the times, you either join the dark side or forever be overshadowed by it.

Going to miss him hope he continues to stream tho.

theres a huge design flaw in sc2 which david kim has done nothing to fix, and wont

GL to kas whatever he chooses to do, once upon a time you were a inspiration for me =))

what you're saying would make sense if there were literally any successful foreign terran players out there compared to foreign protoss/zerg players

but there aren't

i'm not balance whining because korean terrans are still succeeding, but terran is obviously a much more difficult race for foreigners than protoss and zerg is. so is it really kas' fault when nobody else who doesn't come from korea attains success with the race?

Pretty sure he won't retire. Like a lot of terran players (or non-Protoss players I'd say) he's tilted at the moment but he will take a break like everyone for Christmas and be back in the business for WCS. He's one Bo5 away from Premier League, it would be stupid to retire now.

I mean he's mainly involved with balance, no? Is he actually able to design stuff himself? The impression I had was that he just balances out whatever the design team gives him to work with, could be wrong though.

good luck with everything you will do after sc2

agree with him that david kim realy destroy the game for terran player and he probably the main reason sc2 doing that bad
( why someone would tell he not the reason? he the guy behind the extreme balance of this game ??!!! )

he at fault, for exemple he the guy who buffed the queen before the era of the patch zerg when the matchup was 50 %....

honestly playing and talking with other pro gamer he do realy bad balance and most pro gamer could balance this game better....

well he the reason im not playing anymore....

Indeed gl to Kas in his future endeavors.

And Korean Terrans seem to be doing just fine. The game is a big deal at the highest level, I don't think David Kim and Co. need to balance it out for the non pros. Tho blaming everything but the player is common practice.

I hope Blizzard realizes the issues with the game soon and takes action before every single Terran has quit.
