End of the @punchlineesc sc2 : @Relmersc2 @thisisjeysen @RelmerSc2

My teammates and I leave Punchline today. This decision was very tough one because after all the time spent together we all became very good friends.



I joined Punchline one year ago, Stabillo (manager of sc2 team Punchline) contacted me in order to rise a small French team to the top. At this time I was in team Vega, everything was good, but I never really felt the joy and happiness to win for my team, each player was playing his clan war games on his side. So I quickly decided to move from team Vega to team Punchline.



Since the beginning I got along very well with Stabillo Denver and Relmer. We had clan wars

regularly and we were all really motivated to give our best in our games. We started from nothing, we were an unknown team, even in France, but we climbed the mountain rapidly.



Most of our team results are probably less known than our personal results but I think I can say without any doubt that the win we have the most appreciated are the team wins, in particular:



3rd place at the RSTL

2nd place at the French Proleague

1st place at the CCL (the result of which we are the most proud)

2nd place FEST



Our 2nd place at the FEST where we get to beat the team of TeamLiquid Bunny Tlo and Mana. Despite our personal level probably lower than their level, the cohesion of our team as well as the desire to win together has allowed us to surpass ourselves and win against the best

European team.



We have also attended many events together were it was very nice to share moments together for the worse and for the best. One of my best souvenir is the WCS season 1 of this year.

The French public was crazy when I played on stage, and at the top of the stage there was my team who followed my matches with passion. Despite all the cheering I did not managed to win against Polt this weekend. But the day after being eliminated of the wcs I participated in the Gamer Assembly like all the other eliminated WCS players. After beating all the best French players and some players from the WCS system I had to play the grand final against the Korean True tomorrow. I won in a very close 3-2 and took my first major tournament on sc2, I was very proud and even now I still think it is the support of great people like Denver or Stabillo (among others) that allowed me to win that day.



Sadly, today the Starcraft 2 lineup of Punchline announces his departure. Many events leaded us to this decision, particularly Stabillo leaving the structure, it was more than our manager, he was our friend and together we really managed to rise and do something to be proud of. But Stabillo personal obligations, in this case his full time job, did not allow him to keep being our manager.



This year was very hard for me too, in parallel with my engineering studies and my internship

that started five months ago I tried to do my best on starcraft 2. Even by investing all my holidays in tournaments I do abroad I can not participate in more than half of the tournaments I would like to participate. And obviously i can't keep playing the clan wars because i sometime need to rest in order not to fail in both my work as an engineer and in tournaments as a starcraft player.



But I want more, much more, I want to become a progamer in two months when my internship end and after i get my engineering degree.

Punchline is an amateur team (in a good way) organized by a team of volunteers enthusiasts. Unfortunately it will take more to fulfill my ambition and my will to become the best possible starcraft 2 player.



I leave my team today, I want to thank all the people with whom I evolved and with whom I had a great time, I hope not to forget anyone:

Stabillo, Denver, Relmer, Jeysen, Hqrdest, Tomve, Pyrrha, Loko, Wasteful, Kostya, Dext, Clem, Lamun, Jay, Zorion, Koka, Smaug, Doud, Absy, Epsylon, noxizz.
