Thanks djWHEAT for this nice thread eventhough I knew most of it you still got the great talent to write and keep the story going =D I hope that more and more of us hardcore E-sporters can get into full time jobs and do what we love sooner than later. But as we both know it ain't happening over a night and it can within a few months be gone again.

Keep it up!

Pretty much everything I expected out of someone who works full time, has a family, but still wants to hold on to his passion. I honestly, wouldn't of done what you did. I would of given it up for my family. I don't have a child, but if I did I would want to spent every free minute with him/her.

Calling Child Protective Services, clearly miniwheat is at risk of overexposure to gosuness and having the coolest dad ever.

I guess I never realised how much time and effort you put into all of this, even moreso considering you don't really have to. This sort of puts you more into perspective and the sacrifices you make to make starcraft, esports and gaming just that much better. I really can't imagine what the community would be without you forcing pros like Incontrol, Painuser and Idra to suffer the questions of lesser gamers, and also the great tournaments that you cast as well. I guess I normally don't post in many threads but I really feel that you need to know how much the entire community appreciates your efforts and the sacrifices that come along with them. Give our thanks to your wife, by either telling her or showing her this thread because it is not always easy to see for yourself how much people really value your efforts and I think you and your wife deserve to know this. There's probably a few more things I should say that I can't remember but hopefully this will suffice.

You're a real life hero, rock on!

Admire the effort!

Keep it up and give our best to your family.

Dreamhack should pay for a family vacation for you guys - Jen and Mini could stay at a hotel and see the sights in Stockholm during the weekend while you're casting, then you could join them and spend a week camping or at a beach resort / country retreat. You deserve a vacation together and i'm sure the DH guys could make it happen, Sweden is lovely that time of year.

My respect sire. You do what your heart has passion for, you also have an awesome family in form of your wife and your little son. Not many of us can say that they live up their lives in a way they are happy with what they do, truly having that feeling of fulfillment, while having those closest to us being the understanding part of our life. If you truly have heart set up for something, that is when you are set up to success and flourish.

Good luck to you and your family.

Thank you so much for writing this blog. It is one of the reasons you are one of the people in the community I respect the most. You always go above and beyond what you really need to do for the community. Anyone who would ever criticize you is a moron in my book.

In short ... You are the MAN.
