In Korea, #20 Hurricane and #22 KeeN have declined their spots, which allows #23 herO to compete in the RO36 play-in stage. #6 Zest, whose participation has been questionable for months, is included in the official list of RO24 players. In his most recent interview at DHM: Last Chance, Zest said he was still not entirely certain about his ability to participate due to military service.

TKL from O’Gaming said yesterday during open cup cast that MaxPax wouldn’t go to Katowice to stay anonymous ; and apparently it was also said by Mlord dunno when.

Anyone know why Keen declined his spot? He’s not the most storied of the military returnees but he was doing decently, I hope he’s still playing.
Probably because he doesn t want to travel for 350$..
He would realistically only beat 1-2 opponents Max before getting eliminated and he would probably have to spent the entire week.
I Don t know, if he s actually a Pro or Amateur at this point, so it could be possible he simple doesn t want to take days of from whatever else he s doing when not playing..

MaxPax would’ve been guaranteed $2000 for a ro24 spot, so the money is definitely worth it (especially because he’s in Denmark)

He was talking about KeeN I think.
Does it mean that MLord is officialy an AoEIV player from now on?
Most likely an AoE IV streamer and player yes…

In all seriousness, maybe he’ll retire before we find out who he is. That would be an interesting arc, but probably an understandable one, however disappointing

But man, you gotta have some pride in what you do, calling it quit to stay private when you have a shot a being the world champion and live changing money is a hard pill to swallow.
With that said, hopefully he rip that band-aid off at some point
The Starcraft 2 scene would be dearly missing if every weird loner would have stayed at home. (And I say that dearly as a fellow weird loner)
(And if you readying, no one seriously care about what you look like Max Pax, like not at all)
On the plus side, Zest is best and will live forever!
