RIP Heroes 04/02/2014- 12/13/2018
Writing this up I'm just lost in words and emotions, I feel depressed that it ended this way but also feel angry on how it ended. I was really sure HGC had at least one more year like a lot of other people thought. Obviously I don't know exact details as to why this happened but it is what it is and I have to move forward with my life.
First off I want to thank all my fans, friends, team mates I've played with for over four years. I've been through it all, struggling from the bottom/mid tier teams with Curse and Murloc to becoming a champion of NA with GFE and Tempo Storm. I got to travel the world and try new things and meet new amazing people so I will always thank Blizzard and Heroes for this amazing experience. I will always remember the good times I've had because of Heroes so thank you all so much for making this possible. Shout out to my past team mates on helping me get where I got until the very end, I was looking forward to 2019 with one new addition to the team with weeks of tryouts trying to figure out who will be best moving forward.
So I just want to say to Blizzard I am very thankful for everything you have done for not only myself but everyone in the Heroes community. I will always love the games you created and my passion for gaming is still going to be here no matter what. I am deeply upset that I have given a lot to become a pro player for it to end like this, I thought 2019 would be my last year to really go all out and see what happens before I retire end of 2019 but now obviously I have to move on right away. I am very thankful for Heroes for helping me and my girlfriend meet because of a video game we both enjoyed playing, I feel blessed and lucky to have met such a wonderful woman who continues to support me no matter what I do as long as I try my best.
As for my personal life path now, I really don't see myself becoming a full time streamer and living off it. I live without parents and pay my own bills so I have been sustaining myself with Heroes for about three out of the four years so now that HGC is over I have no income so I'm stressing on finding a job just to live month by month before I am out of money. Like I said I don't think streaming will sustain myself enough to live a happy life but I could always be wrong if I don't put my mind towards it but it's a risk in my opinion since this was all just decided today that I have no job. I know I am talented enough to play a different game for esports but I don't think it's worth investing more of my time and delaying my real career after being a pro. My dream job is to work for Blizzard so my plan was try HGC one more year then hopefully join Blizzard to help develop games that I love and have a strong passion for but now that this happened I have to shift my plans a lot since I need an income right away.
I've never discussed this with many people because it wasn't really important but I have no college under my belt because I dropped out my first semester mainly because I had zero idea what I wanted to do and I thought the best idea was to not waste my time with something I didn't want to do compared to gaming which was something I always had a strong passion for and when I got invited to Heroes in Alpha stage it lit a huge fire inside and I gave up everything else in my life to become the best at my role and to see how pro gaming would treat me and I loved it. Now that HGC is over I think it might be safe to say that my pro gaming career died with HGC so I should start thinking what I actually want to do in life because obviously I know I can't be a pro forever so I was making back up plans but honestly was not ready just yet.
Anything I want to do I know I will always give it my best so whatever is next in my chapter then I know I will succeed as long as I put my mind into it just I'm not 100% sure what path to take yet. I was thinking of working for Blizzard to help develop games so that might be possible but we will have to see what is possible. My DM's are open if people maybe want to give me an idea for a new job or anything like that and I promise I would have a strong passion if I am interested. Heroes was a lot of fun but maybe it's best if I move on with my life and explore a career that will hold off until I grow really old and retire on life.
Thank you all for the support and once I figure out what I plan on doing going forward I will for sure update everyone who cares on Twitter. Really sucks this email from HGC took this long because I was so sure we would at least have one more year of HGC because now I have to hurry and think of what's next while bleeding money for bills, part of it is my fault for not always looking out for myself and getting ready but I am kind of upset at Blizzard for taking this long to kill everyone's dreams. Farewell Heroes of the Storm, you were never a dead game to me ♥
