So NASL is tonight, AWESOME!
But after seeing the DHI I really really hope that NASL can live up to that, that tournament was ran fantastic (Check if out if you haven't!)

So NASL is in 3 hours 18 mins? Around 2 am here... Need to get up at 6 am. Add one to the other and you can see, I won't be getting any sleep, but do I care? No.
I'll go to school, I'll sit there and if the teacher walks up to me and says "Hey, why ain't you following, wake up!"

I'll just reply:

Do you know who Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski is? Do you know who Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen is?
Do you follow E-Sports? Have you ever had a dream, that you want to follow and make it happen? I have, I want E-Sports to happen and I'm gonna stick to it, even if it means I'll fail this class, I don't give a damn, I'll devote my time to what I like more.
I didn't go to sleep because I watched sources of inspiration, people who went another path, who did what they believed in and succeded. They are E-famous, almost famous for real, like most koreans are.
There's people playing video games earning more money than anyone in this house and as I think, having a blast with it.
Since DHI was played today and it gathered quite some mainstream attention, go check out Aftonbladet ( Sweden's biggest newspaper ) and take part of it. If you like it, congratulations, you're a part of one of the best communities out there, you're part of the future.



I'm feeling so poetic, but I'm not, I'm dead tired and I'm gonna take a quick power nap before I go up to watch NASL, GLHF to everyone playing!

So you want to help contribute to the growth of eSports by doing what exactly? Just watching the free streams? I'm sure you could think of something a little more "out side the box", no?

I'm sure your education will get you much farther then knowing If Grubby beat Moon on day 1 of the NASL.
After I captured the elephant in the room, swept her under the rug for the hell of it... I welcome you to the melting through, of a planet that was selfish in its development of a healthy view.

What's the deal with the "special" plans they had for replays?
I feel like I used to be smarter....but that's when I knew less.

While I applaud you for getting up at 6 AM to watch the NASL, I am pretty sure most if not all of these guys do not make any money at all when it comes to salaries, they live on tournament earnings. So I am fairly certain that most of them do not infact make more money then anyone in ''this'' house. Only a handfull of people can make a living of gaming, excluding koreans........barely anyone.

Why do you talk like you know anything when you actually have no idea? Players in major foreign teams like Liquid or EG have quite decent salaries.
