Update:
doh, they've killed it
refunds should be going out next week, according to indiegogo
Inspired by the bravery and ambition of Sons of StarCraft, I decided to make a crowd-funded project of my own so I might contribute to esports in my own, small way. Thus, I humbly present to you:
Are you ready for eSports journalism that goes where no eSports journalism has gone before? Get ready to delve into the hearts and minds of those who work in the shadows of this cloaked industry as award winning journalist Waxangel provides unbiased, cutting-edge reporting at the speed of a Razer Kraken.
He's beholden to nobody. He's independent.* He's already pissed off the whole industry, so he has nothing to fear. There's nothing in the way of him and the cold, hard truth.
*May not apply to TeamLiquid.net
Thank you for all your continued support as we seek to advance this beautiful, unparalleled game together. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Wouldn't you need a couple of E-sport personalities to promote you? There's no way I can know that this is legit otherwise, how can I trust you to spend the money on a smartphone? Maybe you'll spend it all on some F2P game?

I think the community has wised up and won't be fooled again!
I posted this on Reddit and it got instantly taken down.

iirc there was some controversy over whether or not Gus was actually the badguy or just the convenient fall guy that david ting buried

Anxiously awaiting the Richard Lewis article.

You need to get Bitter/Dam in on the con, post some BS quote from them legitimizing your crowdfund. Offer them 20% of the take to keep quiet, should do it. Or wait, get 2GD - he's all kinds of shady. But nobody would want to read anything about him.... hmm, better stick with option 1.
Anyhow, like someone said above, you gotta get a face-guy or two. It'll keep the heat off you for months (or years)

This is the first esports kickstarter I've backed, I feel really good about this. I was pretty sold when I realized the 1k would bring me more entertainment than the 42k for Sons of Starcraft did.

This was fantastic. Especially loved the "Estimated 2016" delivery, though it might be TOO SOON.

This campaign will only receive funds if at least $1,000USD is raised by its deadline.
I assume he will cancel it if it reaches 1000 USD?

I like that, normally I just write ESPORTS but thanks to you I can now make it 'the ESPORTS'.
Bless you, you've made an even more awkward phrase for me to use :D

He will just donate $1 to get $999? As a matter of fact, he can donate $600 to himself and cash out if he wanted to right now...

That's great because I have some emoney but no more passion. I'm a bittervet now :D I shall fund for both of us!
Edit: Aand done! I am absolutely certain that it will be well spend on sharpening his wit buying tools of the trade obtaining Word licence partying with Rekrul Doto cosmetics lot's of TL+, right?

Wax is spinning up conspiracy theories to cover up his lies!
The truth is he asked indiegogo to remove the page because he couldn't live up to the expectation delivering dozens of snarky tweets by 2016!

Wax confirmed shady as fuck.
He's probably laundering all the money into Bitcoins and planning his escape to Cuba as we speak.

Abuzu cover up... they hate truthful reporting... and smart phones.
