Hi all,
I'm stepping down from my admin position after playoffs is over. At the beginning of the year I moved up to Sacramento to try to make it and start a career in politics and I finally did it in August. After working both jobs I have found that I had just about no free time left between working during the day and running ESEA shifts at night.
I've got to say it was a lot of fun working for ESEA and I've got nothing against the admin team. Marc, Scream, Prius, venomKZ, evie, SPYTE, and most importantly Killing are a bunch of really awesome guys. You really couldn't ask for a better group of league admins to work with.
The TF2 community was a lot of fun. From the Fighting Amphibians days with micspam servers and Philo pugs, to the massive amount of people that played for the TONY HAWK PRO SKATERS all the way to taking it home with Check Six and finally as a league admin for ESEA I had a blast. It wasn't so much the game that was keeping me around at this point, but it was the community. I've built up friendships with a lot of really awesome people.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for keeping this community so much fun to be in year after year. I'll be around.

Since you are leaving and it means nothing with your job, which is my job too :P I, and many others would love to know what happened behind the scenes. Let's talk about your views. Hit me up about your thoughts to figure out where you stand.

Seriously, thanks for being the only admin that would help me or answer questions. Also with your departure it will be easier to leave Esea, because the alternatives are a nightmare. Good luck in all you do, and which political party?

Since the early days of this game, you have been an inspiration as a player and through your quiet competence as an administrator, been one of the unspoken pillars that the global TF2 community has gotten used to leaning on. Thank you for the time and effort you put into the TF2 community. I wish you the very best as you step into the wild world of politics. Good game and well played, Sir Kalkin. Your absence will be severely felt.
