I read this and honestly shed a couple tears.

To see someone juggle the questions of what is important to them, to see the balance of life and what makes them feel like the next days grind is worth going through all the while questioning if certain decisions will pay off? Not only is it relatable but its was just damn honest.

You're an amazing guy wheat, what you do you do well and while you might not be artosis as far as analytical commentary goes you play your pitcher role better than anyone and know enough to pitch it just right. You're fantastic and this has made me appreciate what you do 10 fold.

Thank you wheat. You're part of the reason I enjoy this community so much.

The prophecy has been spoken and Zeratul himself is searching for this man.... "Only this man cannot be found so easily as the prophecy itself."

lol, what are you talking about Chill... the man with the golden voice will lead us to the promised land of eSports and will allow us to talk about games and play them for money and contribute to society!!!.... LOL... WHAT!?!?

What is most personal is most general - I can relate to the juggling DjWheat, and I really respect that you're both grinding out a slightly numbing job and still powering thru the day doing your shows.

3 days a week with not as much daddy-time does not sound so bad, atleast not for the kid. I'd worry about keeping the wife happy! That's my personal experience anyway.

Good luck too ya, if anyone deserves to make it while working in the gaming industry it is you.
And dont forget to support JenJen in pursuing whatever her passions are.

I feel like i owe you something, giving us all this content for free.

Seriously, i just play starcraft/browse TL for about 7-10 hours a day (5 month vacation, wohoo

), wouldnt be possible without people like you, and it makes me feel kinda bad that i'm not contributing at all

Hopefully you can live off of gaming soon enough

Thanks for your effort, I really like the Inside the game show ;D

good luck to you and hope you can find a way to make esports, your passion, into a full-time job! (and I hope all that wish to make their passion into a full-time job, such as esports, would be able to ^_^)~

<3 Big love for wheat, I've heard you and your son on the streams and you sound like a really great dad. It's a shame you can't dedicate to gaming full time, but think of it this way.

The times spent away from what you love, make you love it more when it comes around.

Truly awesome. You are such a good person. Don't worry about spending too little time with your family, i think your wife and your son are strong enough to tell you if they wan't to

I really love the shows that you are doing and i hope someday you can live from it!

I gotta say, your dedication is admirable. Few people would be willing to invest so much of their free time into making e-sports great.

I'll make sure to continue tuning in whenever I can.

5/5 We appreciate everytime you can cast a game and especially when you cast with Day9. You're definitely the best game caster that I know of. You can cast almost any and every game and do it magnificently.

I have some real respect to you as a person, not just your ESports persona here at TL, but you as a person. Really great to see someone share how much they care about their family and the sacrifices they are willing to make.
