It's not about him as a person, it's just he thinks he's better than everyone else when literally anyone could do what he's doing if they had the sponsors and following that he has. If it was me that started making videos and got approached by companies or w/e, I could do it. I respect him for doing his fundraising, but there is no need for him to shove it in everyone elses face and act like he's the best in the world. The reason he's done all those things in Diablo 3 is because his fanbase have given him items and gold and stuff. If I got given that stuff, I could do all he's done.

Then do it eh. Raise 1 million dollar since it is so easy. Just make videos.
Oh and the he thinks he is better then anyone else is just an act he started back in his wow days.

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.

You sir are an idiot for thinking that the persona he portrays is actually him.

I totally agree that he achieved nothing remarkable in Diablo III. But in WoW, Poker and plenty of other stuff, he proved to be a superior gamer in many aspects, especially theorycrafting. There's plenty of real evidence out there, along side with all the trolls.

I don't want to. I'm just saying if I made videos and got sponsored, I could do what he does. To say "you go do it then" is irrelevant.

Alright, have your fan base to get you the stuff so you can do what he has done. Oh, you don't have a fan base that's capable of raising million dollars for charity? Sounds like he's better than you and everyone else who's hating on forum instead of pitching in to help the starving children.

So.
Much.
This.

Yea, his 1m for charity is cool. But that's it, kids so annoying, not by itself but by fanboys praising her lord too much.

On topic: Wouldn't surprise me, good for both sides.

Hate him if you want to, sure he's cocky and stuff. But not many people would use their fame in a way that he does! Lol I'm not even sure that I would....

The amount of people who seem to be unable to understand this kind of humour and see past the persona that is Athene, is baffling. The trolling and acting like a dick is all part of an act, a character, that a lot of people find funny and entertaining. But even raising $1M for charity still won't convince some people...
