He spoke out against some streaming practices - Still, many retired progamers are interacting with their fans via their personal streams. [These streamers/streams] are quite popular, are you perhaps jealous of them? ▶ My view on those personal streams is very negative. It's sad to see them embarrass themselves in their broadcasts. Besides, even those associated with the matchfixing scandal are streaming, and that makes it even harder to view the streams in a positive light. I take great personal pride in being a progamer. Fans don't come one by one, they come by the tens of thousands to cheer [for the progamers/teams]. For those fans, the core motivation behind their loyalty is the player's skill. Some of the [ex-progamer] streamers shatter those images while broadcasting, and [even do things that show] they treat the fans as money [and nothing more]. All of these guys were perfectly fine before [when I met them / was with them in eSports stadiums/competitions]. That's why it's so disappointing to see these guys turn [into what I described above] just for money. Streaming for [enjoyment of the game, etc.] is fine, but I hope they don't stream for the sole purpose of making money. Of course, not all streamers are like that. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/433875-interview-stork-after-soju | ||

I think fans do appreciate when their idols don't make fun of themselves for the sake of balloons... | ||

Yes please. I've been intrigued ever since the series because it's one thing to download Bisu reps and watch them while practicing for the finals, it's another to be telling Terror what to do and watch what Bisu does in reaction via maphack. In other words, I'm very interested as to what Effort has to say about this. | ||

I mean, there probably are people who like being publicly disgraced but I think most people do it to earn money and not for fun. And if that's the case we are pretty close to prostitution. | ||

This is not confirmed. Also Hodo seems to play a lot of protoss and doesn't have too impressive statistics. | ||

I don't see how that is really any different than Twitch. Why call out Afreeca specifically? | ||
