Draco Official Retirement (10914 reads, 83 replies, 2 years ago)

Posted by Draco in a polish forum

"I have began my journey with StarCraft when i was 12. I'm pretty sure that there was no one in Poland which cared about this game like me. Brood War was big part for half of my life and i'm pretty sure i will be gladly bring back memories from that time.

I think that i've never mentioned that thing but when i was leaving Korea, i've made a deal with "SparkyZ" which allowed me to come back to the team in the period of 6 months after leaving. When i was leaving Seoul, i knew that probablity of that is low and at that time i mentioned few times that i'm leaving StarCraft for good. Still my mind was very close with the SparkyZ. As a proof of that i might tell you that i had about 50 dreams in which i was coming back to Korea. But as we all know - i never did that.

Not once but for sure many times i've told you that StarCraft wasn't the same thing for me from the time when i was living in Korea and before that. Anyway still i was not aware that in my subconsciousness i still had a hope that "something" will happen and i will come back to Korea and feel how it's to compete with the best to be the best. Today the feeling has left me and i know it's the end.

I can't find motivation anymore which gave me the power to "click" all the time until the morning and then two hours later wake up and do the same. I know that the feeling of hunger will not leave me, the feeling that i could do better if i would stay in Korea for more time. Today i know i can't do much about this, i've "depleted" myself.

For most of you leaving StarCraft was like (or is like) leaving an addiction, finding more time to spent with family/girlfriend/friends or on something useful. My eyes have become clear, and the feeling that i can say to myself "This is the end" is very important to me. Today i have understood that i have to leave the place which i was part of for 10 years. I don't hide that when i felt that, a tear have come to my eye.

At the end i want to thank everyone that supported me for all those years. I'm not leaving in the good moment but i hope i will be remembered for my best performances times.

Draco logging off."

Wow, sad news....Draco definitely was the best toss outside of Korea for many years. I`ll always remember his sick sick PvT and his epic PvZ matches vs Mondragon and Sen.

It's sad, but not surprising. He hasn't been nearly at his top shape, and getting 3-0'd by sen was probably the tipping point. Oh well, props to him for a great BW career.
