He just realeased a video about it, what do you guys think about this. Pretty sure most the community just thinks he's a douche bag who likes to troll everybody and is a scam. What role is he even going to play in ROOT? ( I personally love Athene and everything he does)

maybe he's actually going to play sc2?

A 5 second video? lol, I think this is 100% legit. I love athene :D

Honestly I think it's pretty obvious hes trolling, but it would be really funny if he did join anyways, he is good publicity i'm sure.

He is Kiwikakis friend and he is doing that to promote their team and site. Nothing special. Kiwi played on Athenes account and ran over the ladder so Athene could brag for his followers.

I said that a lot of people think he's just that. Most people don't even bother to do any research on what he has done it the past, i personally think he's a great guy who helps a lot with a lot of things.

Yeah not a big fan of the OP. He has done a lot for a lot of the smaller streamers and raised a lot of money for charity. Just because he puts on a cocky persona doesn't mean he's a douche. He's there to entertain. I'd be happy if this were true.

He acts like he is the worlds best gamer, a massive troll and all those bad things, which is what makes him really fun and popular.

He does good things and anyone who thinks he REALLY is a douchebag needs to go away.

But if you watch one of the silly things he does, you see him as an idiot and massive troll.

He went on a hunger strike and raised over $1 mil USD in charity for starving kids in Africa. He deserves respect.

He's a really nice and calm guy irl as you can see in many of his more "serious" videos. What a lot of people don't get is that the whole troll and douchebag act, is an act.

Not quoting the OP, but if you think Athene is a douche bag, you are a terrible judge of character. If you raise a million dollars for charity, you are defaulted into the non-douche bag part of society.

You either hate or love Athene. If you hate him, it's either because you can't see through his Athene persona or generally don't like getting trolled a litte Chill chill. I don't think this is a troll, but probably only joining as a honorary member. Him and CatZ are pretty decent friends
