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.
This 100% He is e-sports icon. Who cares what he is saying ? that he pwn some noobz , or things like that ? , sure he does.. , there was so many people in WoW days that was saying they can beat him in arena.. and they never make that happend he own them all. Same thing was with world first levels in WoW , diablo 3 etc.., maby he shit talking , be everything he was saying he make that happend so.. ? he tells the true , simple as that.
Other thing is he is working for razer with swifty. He is doing superb work for charity.. for ecology.. for e-sport Haters gonna hate .. but Athene is really very nice and inteligent person.

yeah hes a dedicated grinder. But when you get all the help you need by "asking for money on Diablo3" gets help to xp up all ur character with already elite players from different games. Of course ... But hes def a good guy for e-sports and hes very friendly imo. If this is "true" i hope he gets more into Starcraft than Diablo3. Cause that's all he does nowadays
This is quite awkward. I know he's perm banned from TL for having kiwikaki play on his account. So its definitely quite odd to pick someone up whose essentially banned from the main sc2 community.

He doesn't have a TL account m8, and there never was any proof of either side of that.

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.
lol you do realize that sponsors dont just sponsor someone right? You have to do something to get a sponsor which I am guessing you have not.

lol, athene himself is bigger than whole TL :>
Hardly... I had no idea who the guy was until he did that fund raiser on D3, and I've been on TL for 2 years.
He's a troll, plain and simple. I could honestly care less if he raised money for some african kids, TL and SC2 would be better off without 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.
To be fair to him in D3, when the nerfs happened to Monk/DH he was ahead of the rest as far as finishing inferno but their buggy strats didnt get nerfed.

This ^. Athene never really played SC2. Him and Kiwi are good friends from poker, and maybe some other stuff that i miss. I see how he got into the team but i don't think he'll act as a pro player.

I did not claim to, I said IF I had the resources and fan vase he does I could do it. I never claimed to have done anything special, I've never made a video or anything. But given an equal amount of time, money and equipment I could.
