As I'm sure all of you have heard.. I am permanently closing off money maps and turning VGT into a strictly non-money map league.

If you want to see my reasoning, I've explained my main points in the following thread:
http://vilegaming.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=3304

I'll try to keep this short.. first, about me. I think its safe to say that I've "done it all" on B.net. I've had this game since it came out, I've played money maps, non-money maps, maphacked, pulled my internet plug when losing a game so I don't get a loss on my rec, bad mannered random people for the hell of it, cracked/stolen accounts with a brute program, flooded channels with floodbots, managed dozens of clans, loaded channels too, made melee maps, made mods for the game, introduced the semi maps, made UMS maps, hosted countless tournaments, all in all.. I've made my mark on B.net and now its time to move forward for good and make one more lasting impression, which is create the best league out there for StarCraft, or at least try to.

It was fun running VGT ever since the start over a year ago, I've enjoyed all of it. For all of you that knew me from the start, or even just met me a few days ago, to everyone one of you it was a pleasure playing/arguing/chatting/BMing with or to. This is my final good bye to the money map community and official hello to the world of non-money maps. And hello to the future that is the StarCraft franchise.

What will happen to whats left of the money map community?
I've talked to Rich, aka eNtitY~, and he said he'll pick up where I left off and add Brood War to his Vanilla leagues. So at least you have somewhere to go.

And thats that, sorry but my mind is made up. Best of luck to all of you. Hopefully, you'll see the light again too and come back to non-money maps, and hopefully VGT goes platinum status baby!

Thus I end it at this..

"No regrets, just rebirth,
move forward, and ignite.
Incandescent reinvention.
A new renaissance.
A new fire each day."
-- Thrice, from the song Phoenix Ignition


(Note: Flame me, call me a faggot, blame me for fastest dying. Go ahead, It won't change anything.)
