Strange source. Need more confirmation.

If holds true, I'm sure everyone would agree on his amazing gaming history , unmatched inspirational character, and ability to make a crowd riot.

His achievements made him thousands of fans and made his countrymen proud.
Good son of the motherland.

I hope he makes an official statement.

The lack of feedback from him for previous events he didn't attend was already a shame, but a retirement annoucement coming from a 'private conversation' is a disgrace.

Thresh is a self-made millionaire that got his fortune out of competitive gaming (sort of a real life jamerio that actually exists and didn't steal someone else's name)

Fatality got a couple of millions (if cgs. cpl and others paid him)

The only news to me is what his job actually is and that he is getting married. His retirement is still a sad fact to reiterate :/

My guess is still that we haven't seen the last of Cooller. I'm certain that he will make appearances every now and then, like we for example just saw czm play Zotac this weekend. Hopefully LAN appearance though.

Not M5 was busted. The owner was busted for something in the Netherlands, but noone knows weather it's really about that credit-card stuff or not. M5 is still there and probably will stay even if Dimitry goes to jail.

It could though, explain why M5 just popped out of nowhere and started throwing money at their players so they could attend all major events in several games.

Desperately sad news. It's weird but I feel like I have a glimpse now into what many broodwar fans in Korea will experience when Boxer fully retires.

In a sense, like many others I grew up with Cooller and even competed against him at times. Many of us have witnessed the birth of his career and followed him as he matured and posted result after result.

Cooller is and will always be closely tied to what competitive Quake is. When we think of the potential of the game, the reason we love to play and spectate it, cooller will always be one of the individuals in our thoughts.

What an amazing athlete he is. Good luck to him for the future!

He was inspiration for me and I'm sure for many of us. An absolute legend.

I hope that he finds a lot of success and happiness in his job and marriage. Good luck to him!

Quake will never die. People grow up and move on, younger people take their place. They can't all play forever unfortunately.

Sad, I've watched every single demo of this guy in tournaments at least 3 times each, amazing personality, and imo the best quaker to have played the game.

I've never seen anyone read other players the way he does, only really rapha comes close. I remember doing a warmup vs him when he was at an IEM LAN, he joined an online server and I got to play a little bit with him, his rocket dodging hurt my brain ._.

Gl cooller, hope you will go to quakecon!

Completely agree with the commentary. The only problem would be the commentator viewing the demo same time as the streamer. Commentator would have to stream (zoot :D)

Or I can do a silent stream...

Legend. His influence in quake and FPS gaming in general is unquestionable (imo).
This is a sad day but I'm happy that Anton has found a way to support himself.

I hope there is a movie maker out there who will give Cooller a proper sendoff...maybe a 20+min frag/accomplishment video from his playing in q3/q4/qlive.

As others have said though, if there is some sort of resurgence in esports with a good FPS game and high prize money I wouldn't be surprised if he started competing again!

More than him retiring specifically from QL live events, the thing is he's getting married and he's stated and hinted several times that he wants to go on with life.

Marrying kills a person's soul and hobbies. Well maybe not that much, but he simply won't have the time, dedication and energy left to compete at the highest level, and he won't participate just to get eliminated on group stages.

Spot on. inb4 he starts getting out of shape, his "hot" (at least I hope) girlfriend starts getting into a fat bitch, and he gets bored of his monotonous job. Then he dumps the bitch, gets back on shape, and becomes a Q5 champion.

I agree, I think some of these esreality stories are misleading. The headline should have a question mark in it. Even if it is almost certain he has retired... I still think they should pedantically have a question mark in it. Because he never officially stated it. We can work out for ourselves what to think then about the information. There are a lots of plausible scenarios about why he isn't going and why he might show up at other LANs. I am not going to say "bye" or whatever as a result of this post.

The opposite is the case, 100%.

Cooller is famous for being the player who grinds practice the most, whereas rapha is famous for practicing very little compared to the other pros.

Practice only can get you so far. Rapha is just smarter than cooller and less ego-driven.

Rapha plays as much as he needs to to win tournaments. After reaching high level, you dont need to play as much. But the closer he gets to a tournament the more he plays to get to top shape for the tournament.
It is way easier when you are a fulltime gamer, than if you also have other musts in your life. What I mean by this is that, 1 hour per day might be enough in off-season, if you are well-rested etc. this hour. But to find top shape 1 hour IS NOT enough.

For raphas part: Playing is not the only time he practise. Im sure he study/watch more games than alot of people actually plays quake.
