Do we know that he actually took all that time off? I guess i assumed he still plays but just stays out of the spotlight.

He didn’t get that swole clicking a mouse.

Really sad for Nick but really hyped for Tie as well. Heartbreaking for Havoc as well. Tie looked like he was pacing himself based on the server notifications. More defense early on, not taking fire mastery or spiritual command and was still pacing neck and neck for the first three acts with Nick. Nick’s overall speed, especially in the last half was absolutely bonkers. Havoc even gained ground and wasn’t too far behind despite the 20 second mishap (also zaps your mojo).

E: tyty looked like he was just content to be there. Happy for him too.

E2: havoc’s crash was probably 30+ second lost. That can really mess up your mental in an hour long race.

The prevailing theory is that Havoc didn’t crash. That was an alt-F4 to avoid dying, which would have looked exactly the same as a freeze based on how the servers were set up. He didn’t even look frustrated, just waited it out while it rebooted. Losing 20 seconds is a lot better than losing 60.

Um, why exactly?

Nothing here points toward him intentionally closing the game, until it was frozen for a few seconds. He had nothing on him and was full life: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1884928010?t=9h55m8s

Not my theory actually, it was Jonathan’s 🤷🏻‍♂️
