Dear djWHEAT,

Before I say anything else, I want to say that I respect you a ton. As a pillar of the community, you've dedicated much of your life to eSports. You bring fun and excitement to the EG Master's Cup. You graced up with your presence and delivered professional and entertaining commentary at the various MLG's. You introduced us to a total sweetheart in miniWHEAT, and through all these things you've become a loved member of our community.

Not only do I respect you a lot, I also respect your judgment. Remember that big thing about the word "bitches?" Remember how you handled that? I enjoyed that! Maybe I misread what you said but overall at the end I really felt you did the right thing. You're always addressing every little flaw people point out with your casting. You always make it clear you're a work in progress. And there's always improvement. I respect that. I really do.

And I know it's wrong for us to look back at the past and shit on you for that...

But honestly. What the fuck were you thinking?

djWHEAT. What the fuck were you thinking? Did you lose your head? Because of anyone in eSports I thought you were at least REASONABLE!

+ Show Spoiler [Let's review.] +

djWHEAT, as a fan (former fan now, because of that) I DEMAND an explanation for what caused this abomination! This is hurting eSports!

Yours truly,

A Fan No Longer.

His current hairstyle wrecks face. Clearly aliens were involved, like with the rest of the pyramids. Hell, that part down the middle just got cooler for having been worn by djWHEAT.

I agree, spoiler inside the spoiler to make sure the people are TRUELY sure they want to see that =P. But in all honesty, I think everyone rocked that or the bowl-cut at one point in their life. I know I rocked the bowl cut for the first 12 years of my life.

Imagine if Slasher got a haircut and it ended up looking really good, maybe we'd be saying the same thing about him....

If it's any consolation, my hair refuses to obey any form of taming that doesn't make my wife call me a flamer... and she's had my kid.

What are you talking about?! That hair-hat-snickers bar style is totally in. We should make it the official haircut of eSports. In fact, I think that as a bet or contest we should get some progamers to have to get the haircut. Who's good with Photoshop? Put Day9 in that, or InControl, or Artosis? Show us that it is the way to go.

I hope you can sense the sarcasm, but the Photoshopped pics would still be cool.

I blame the people in the G4tv make up room.

There stylist should have been fired after that.

djWHEAT holds no responsibility for that.

djWHEAT's old haircut prevented e-sports from getting big. Now, he has a good haircut and so nothing is stopping e-sports from getting big, oh yeah.

...just you wait, in a few years where E-sports will be taught in school and everyone will be bald, people will laugh at our current very presence of hair!
