Goodbye Codeforces. Goodbye CP.
By TokaiZaopen, history, 5 hours ago, In English

2024.11.24, I finished participating in ICPC shenyang onsite, which is my last ICPC contest, getting bronze medal.

I've been in codeforces for 17 months. In the beginning, I can hardly solve Div2 B, and now I've been a Candidate Master.

I've dreamed of being a Master, but maybe I will never have a chance.

There are some many things to do: preparing for internship or being a postgraduate, and of course, my college lesson.

I love this contest. I love codeforces, too.

I didn't get a silver or gold medal in my CP career. In china you can hardly do this if there isn't a Master in your team.

Whatever, I learn many things from CP and codeforces. I just …… don't have enough time to continue to compete.

However, I don't know what to do in the future. Try to be a postgraduate or find a good job? Or do other things? Actually I just don't know it. What a joke.

Hell. Whatever. Goodbye my love. Wish that I will have a good life.

        If you solve 600 problems in one year you can also be a Candidate Master. There is nothing difficult.

          What about learning new topics required to solve a problem. I mean if I don't know how to solve a problem, how can I solve it

reality is really harsh

someone felt wall at orange

and some felt wall at red

and some felt wall at blue

and there is 14 old and many Chinese LGM who never went college

at this point i believe this game is all about talent

nothing can save you but talent

It's wired to see this type of post, "I love cp but i have to say goodbye". Sounds like some bullshit broken up excuse.
