Or a lot of people have been around for say 4 years, not achieved much, and have decided that they need to get on with "real" life where they can accomplish things. if you look at how many SC2 players there have been, and consider it's been about 4 years now since SC2 began, having people retire isn't that surprising if they aren't at the top of the game, because they've tried, not got the success they wanted, and are moving on to other things. If you keep playing a videogame forever when you aren't at the top level, it doesn't help you much financially, and it really screws you in the long term because you're putting off the rest of your life. Machine already said he basically dropped BJJ while playing SC2, Idra put off his education etc. You make sacrifices, and there's a point at which the sacrifice isn't worth it and you need to move on, and while 3 or 4 years is a long time in some respects, it's probably close to the "move on" timescale. | ||
