Quitting SC2 for Heroes
 

As many of you may know, it has been tough for me recently. After leaving Frenetic Array I haven't found anywhere as a new home. I'm playing SC2 everyday of my life but my improvement just isn't there. Everyday I wake up and play my heart out at this game yet I'm not even GM. It hurts everyday.

It hurts even more when I pour so much into this game and my friends call NA GM a "scrub league." For example I used to be a better player than Petraeus, I remember playing him on the SEA ladder 1-2 years ago and easily beating him over and over. Nowadays Petraeus is Korean GM level whilst I'm a measly NA Masters player. When you look at something like that you really begin to question yourself. Yes Petraeus improves quickly but the fact is - my goal has always been to be the best in SC2 but with my rate of improvement I just can't see it happening.

Not only that but I'm lonely. Mashing find match everyday in my room by myself having no one to talk to will probably end up driving me into depression. There is a reason most of the SC2 community is negative, this is why. No social interaction, it's horrible.

That is one of the reasons why I've decided to take my focus to Heroes of the Storm. I've been thoroughly enjoying Heroes of the Storm lately and playing in a team of 5 means you get that social interaction every human needs. And because Heroes of the storm is more casual I think I can get by with my lack of skill a lot easier. Since I'm a leader by heart, I can call strategies in the game without having to worry about my mechanics. Honestly I think Heroes is a perfect match for me.

I would like to thank everyone and this community for the amazing support I've had through the last 2 years. I've made so many great friends here. I'll still be sticking around just not playing SC2 anymore.

Thank you,
Daniel
