[Lokth]

Hello SC2SEA, how have you been? Really? That is wonderful! It is good to see you again.

First of all, for those who don't know me, or have just plain forgotten I'm Lokth, its nice to meet you. Once upon a time I was a caster of just good old random community tournaments with a a select few regional tournaments under my belt as well.

What brings me here tonight is a simple question, should I come back. Should I cast once more? My casting life is an odd story. I started just randomly casting the weekly BSG (which sadly seems to have seen far better days then it current state). For over a year I casted the BSG most weeks with various guest casters or just solo.I also found myself casting the odd GPD when I wasn't playing in them, but the BSG was my home. I would have to say the biggest highlight of my casting career was being a guest caster for a few games during ACL Melbourne 2013 from the event, closely followed by casting AVCon 2013.

In the end, I burnt out. My love for SC2 dwindled, I no longer had #Passion. I even moved on the Hearthstone for awhile, but in the end my streaming just stopped (at its height no less). For those of you who haven't done it before, casting/streaming is actually very very tiring, especially if its solo. Talking, joking and paying attention to a screen for 3 hours or more can be taxing, especially after a day of work. Keeping up to date with the meta, the niche strategies just so I could talk about them in game, it was a lot of work. The funny thing is, I miss it. I miss having between game banter with chat. I miss Seeing a completely insane strategy some how work and pull off a win. I miss those rarer serious tournaments where I had the chance to cast the best our community had to offer, those amazing games that resulted in some of our lucky players going overseas to take on the very best. But I think I the thing I miss the most is the community, the interaction with the viewers, be it 3 or 500 people, the community is what made it worth it.

So my question is, should I return? It has been almost two years since I casted starcraft, over a year since I streamed anything. Is it worth coming back at this point?
