According to the Russian website, Proplay.ru, we have learned that Maxim Kholomiev, also known as
Swift, retired from Warcraft
yesterday. He has decided to devote himself to his studies and spend more time with his girlfriend. He said that he also wants to have more time to start actively swimming and maybe play poker.
Swift doesn't have much time to spend on gaming anymore but it's also due to his lack of motivation. He stopped playing after the WCG where his results weren't so good and has judged that he wasted his time by playing. He ended his career with the last competition in which he participated in the ASUS tournament.
Here is a short snippet of the interview:
| When did you first thought about retireing? After Seattle? No, to be honest, first time was in June. I would retire before but I decided to participate in wcg qualifier. From this tournament, I didn't get any hight result and I haven't even thought about my career as warcraft player as anything more than hobby. |
