Just an FYI for those not in the know:

Prog has been dealing with health issues ever since earlier this year at Apex 2014 (he had a cane and was limping around a little). He had a cancer scare after that event which he then sought to get surgery for -- he thought (after the surgery) he would be fine but once May started he began to realize he probably can't commentate much anymore. He already took a long hiatus after RoM7 (Revival of Melee 7).

A few weeks ago at MLG Anaheim he was limping around at the venue and even had to stop commentating early on Day 1 of the event. Throughout that weekend he felt awful but he still commentated for the community.

Cancer runs through prog's family and although he doesn't have it yet (he's been treated for it) he, however, has polyps in his colon. So it's very, very difficult for him to move around sometimes. That's why he said some days he feels like 90% while others he feels like 50%.

He had to retire from commentary for these reasons. D1 was upset because he's barely gotten to commentate with prog all year and it was prog's last year -- they're real close friends and everything.

So now you know. I hope people who were a little ignorant on it read this lol.

thanks for the write up. i stopped following fighting games completely shortly after he had the surgery and thought he would be fine, so that whole speech just caught me off guard

 

[Jintor]

Why not Yipes and Persia?

trouble in paradise?

Would be hype to try it out

 

[Karsticles]

Goddamn, SkiSonic?

Wong takes this right?

Flocker is his demon.

BB started like 30 minutes late though =\

You can't blame just Smash. Finals day always runs late anyway (for every tournament ever). I don't know why people expect things to run on time after years and years of this. You should be used to it by now. Get over it and just enjoy the matches and the hype. If you don't like a game, don't watch it there's no reason to shit on it. (Not saying 'you' specifically, I mean generally as there are several people in the EVO thread who just shit on games they don't like watching instead of just not posting and doing something else).

I am used to it. I was helping out someone who was wondering what the schedule was. No need to get offended.

Take this for me, Justin.

 

[Sylverstone14]

Its the training stage.

Have you actually watched Marvel 3 before?

 

[Azure J]

That was literally the first time in the last year of me watching Marvel that I've seen someone use DT flight plink dashes. Why more people don't use that is still beyond me.
