It can be sincere but they can still like BW more. THat's the game they chose to go pro in in the first place after all. | ||

Played on iCCup on several accounts - RickJames FruitBunker I believe I hit him when we both were B+ and ofcourse I didnt know it was YarnC but in the end there was always a hunt on smurfs/the Koreans and people checking hotkey patterns etc. So in the end I checked through my match list and f ound out it was YarnC. I also played Julyzerg 3 times and several other Koreans. Former reply of me vs SKTelecomT1 SEri - practice partner at that time. Zerg is his offrace, still very good zerg -_- http://www2.ygosu.com/replay/?s_cate=normal&s_race=Z&s_type=ProSemiPro&search=&searcht=&page=37&idx=48675 | ||

It's not his best match up, although he had some notable wins vs ex-pros. | ||

The donations come in the form of "balloons," and the balloon system is really genius. Each balloon is like 5 cents, let's say (I don't know the actual number but I know it's low). Psychologically speaking, a person who pulls up PayPal to donate to a streamer won't do it for like 30 cents. They only will if they are donating a significant amount of money (relatively speaking), probably more than $10. Balloons allow you to make micro donations effortlessly. Bisu is talking too much and you want him to play a game? You are one of 100 people that drop 25. Each one of you only spent a quarter, but Bisu just got $25. Bisu sees your message and replies to you, does a sexy wink? You are kinda obligated to donate like 500 cents to him, while everyone else just gives him 10 cents because they think he's cute. When you donate balloons, your name pops up on the screen with an image that is representative of how many balloons you have donated. It takes up a fair chunk of the chat screen and is quickly recognizable. The streamer sees you donated 1000 balloons? "Oh thank you so much nighcol, I wish you the best in life, thank you." Said by your favorite progamer. I'd drop money for that. This along with the image creates a positive feedback loop, stimulating the reward center in your brain. If you donate less than $20 for an event like AGDQ, they don't even bat an eye. Damn this is way better than twitch system! | ||
