After winning ACON5 (in 2005), his mother refused to allow him to compete at the Grand Finals in Shanghai (we sent Paz instead). She said he needed to focus on his study, and that was pretty much the end of his professional gaming streak. After this he went back to Reign of Chaos for a while before retiring. As a co-incidence, he's now the manager of the Hoyts cinema directly upstairs from the old iStarZone venue he claimed so much success from (now "Beyond").

(Kinda funny that you label them as best mates and 2v2 partners when they were worst enemies for a looooong time. )

Wow...that...is amazingly informative. Moon Glade and Philbot as enemies? Haha, that is kind of funny to hear. I honestly wasn't involved in the Australian war3 scene as much as the American (I guess not having an Oceanic server does that) so I was never too aware of what was happening.

So he doesn't play SC2 at all? He was a pretty god like war3 player in his prime, I'm amazed that he doesn't have some connection. He might have ended his gaming career but I'd be surprised to hear he cut off all connection with the Australian e-sports scene.
