Having earned a surprising 4th place finish during last year's World DotA Championship (WDC) in Wuhan, fans around the world were shocked after witnessing AEON.MuFc's shocking group stage exit in SMM 2010.
Following his team's lackluster performance Nick 'Silvercross' Chang Sheng Lim has decided to part ways with his squad and bid goodbye to DotA, at least until after DotA 2's release.
“
It was very disappointing for the whole team because we expected to reach the semi-finals at least,” said Lim today in an interview.“
I have decided to take a break from competitive DotA but hopefully I will make a comeback once DotA 2 hits the shelves,” he added.Lim also cited differences in opinion and 'internal conflict' as the main reason for his departure, adding that he has not played nor talked to his ex-teammates after the SMM fiasco.
“
I personally felt the drafts were handled so badly during SMM and this led us to losing all of our decisive matches even though we had a pretty easy bracket,” he said.When asked whether he will continue playing in the Asian DotA Championships (ADC) for AEON.MuFc, Lim replied:
“
Most likely no. After SMM, I've lost all motivation for DotA and have not played another competitive game since."”GosuGamers also received word that other MuFc players like DeejaySharky and x|aoling might also be leaving the team soon but this has yet to be confirmed.
“
I think x|aoling will definitely be leaving for Malaysian team INC.iG-Ice but I'm not sure what the rest are planning,” Lim explained.“
I would like to thank my team manager Jerry Kok for supporting us all these while. Without him, I would have quit DotA a lot sooner.”And not to forget all of my loyal fans out who have been rooting for me," said Lim in his goodbye address.
Current AEON.MuFc Roster:
