Goodbye yesterday, Hello tomorrow

Hey guys!



First, I'd like to apologize for delaying this post so long, but a lot of thing happened and I had to make sure I was taking the right decisions before committing to them.



Let's start with the reason why I quit Heroes: I was only able to commit 100% to the game because I had my sports degree to fall back on whenever I would retire. The problem is that my knee problems have been getting worse every month, to the point that my docs basically pushed me away from working in the sports field as it would lead to very severe issues down the line. What does it mean? It means I need to study again (95% going into Law, might get an opportunity to go into Economics & Management, in which case I will consider it). Regardless of which field I study, I will be ending some classes at 7-8pm which would make me miss many scrim blocks every week. That's the main reason why I simply will not be able to compete during the coming year.



So, what now? Many things actually! I talked myself out of following my true gaming passion for many years, and that ends now! I will mostly be training Street Fighter during my free time. I will most likely be really bad for quite a while, but hey I have a long time to practice ahead of me. We'll see how it goes, but as soon as I get an okayish level I will be travelling a bit around Europe to get destroyed by people much better than I will be, and learn from them!



On a related note, I joined the staff of an upcoming big gaming convention in Geneva (Geneva Gaming Convention) and will do my best to help them make it a great first edition (this October!). I also joined one of the groups linked to it, Geneva E-Sports, in which I will be doing my best to push tournaments in the area. If all goes according to plan, I should be taking care of a first Street Fighter V tournament in September.



The main thing left is streaming. On that one, I sincerely don't have any set idea on what to do so I will be asking you guys: do you want to see non-HotS related streams from me? If so, what games (because I can finally play normal video games again aswell ^w^)?



I think that's about it. Really thankful for the opportunities given to me over the past 2 years by Fnatic and Team Liquid, and glad to have met and played with some great people on this game. I might come back to it when school hours get lighter depending on how the game is doing!



I'll end this post with a huge thank you for everyone who has supported me over those years! Please look forward for what I will be doing from now on!
