TheHadou elaborated on Twitter by thanking various sources of support within the FGC, and explaining that while the job involves a relocation to San Francisco, he will continue to act as Event Director for Combo Breaker, Creative Director for CEO, and still help with Evo.
As part of the job @Eidelonn & I are relocating to the San Francisco area. We're not sure yet how to feel about losing our 4 proper seasons.
