yeah probably.. Exactly like that one time on Diablo3 when he fooled so many people that he got hacked and that every stuff he had got stolen from his account. And then people went crazy posting everywhere and he said that it was just a joke and came back with all the items.. Like he does this all the time ;-)

To be fair, he was a very good paladin in WoW. He was also world first in hardcore inferno D3. Its arguable that since much of this is item based as opposed to skill based, he isn't exactly a superior player.
He also comes off as a troll and an ass. He also does charity stuff. In the end, its all irrelevant to gaming, though he did have some decent ideas about how to improve Diablo 3. Best player in the world? Not even close. Hes very hardworking though, thats something a lot of gamers dont have because the games these days don't push them in that direction.

If someone gave me millions of dollars and sponsors I could totally fund raise like him! I just need a personality to motivate now...

Kripparrian was world first inferno for D3

Knowing Athene this might be fake, but if it's true, good for both of them, as I know Athene is good friends with CatZ and Kiwikaki. A lot of publicity will go to both starcraft and, more importantly, ROOT gaming!

Lmao you people might also think idra is a bad person irl huh.
Oh wait you do. lol

Don't fool yourself... you could work as hard as you want, I don't think you would ever come close to have 10% of his fan base.

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... It's not about "getting it". Some people just don't find that kind of humor funny, just because you don't agree with what other people consider funny doesn't mean that you don't "get it".
It's really not about whether you find it funny or not. It's about understanding the difference between a character and a real person. People who fail to understand that difference actually don't "get it", regardless of whether they find it funny or not. I'm sure some of Athene's actual fans don't "get it" either, there's all kinds of people on the internet!
As for the humor itself, given the type of behavior that normally passes as "funny" and "humor" on the SC2 scene (and esports in general) - and it usually involves one person mocking/insulting another person/group/idea in a witty and sarcastic manner - Athene's brand of humor is even classy in comparison.

LOL the name of this video is funny.
And my nerd sence tells me its fake!

He doesn't have a TL account m8, and there never was any proof of either side of that. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/profile.php?user=athenewins (not banned)
What I meant by that is all the threads with the name Athene in them get closed, try searching Athene on TL. Nothing but closed threads saying we don't need his personality here.

my bad. since you had the same attitude I didn't detect a well done sarcasm. I don't specially like him but you've to respect him for:
reaching his spot
doing what he does now that he's on top.
