The video itself is the advert for Rootgaming. Maybe he'll do some content with them, maybe not. Chiren is a very intelligent guy and he knows how to work things to make them big. He fights for causes like internet neutrality and the 1M for save the children. To dislike him you have to be judging him from ignorance.

Clearly you don't understand what I'm trying to say. I am simply saying, if I had earned this sponsorship, done everything he's done to earn this stuff, then I could do what he's done. I'm not saying I deserve it, but I have the same skills he has, and taking everything like money aside, I could do what he's done based on gaming skills alone.

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 
I can see through his "Athene persona" and see someone who wants people to see his "Athene persona", and have no respect for him. He builds his humor off of buzz words (i.e. ZE GAIIIIMEZ XD) and similar things which garner animosity from what I'm sure is a large amount of people, myself included.

yeah if you do something you might achieve something. Brillant philosophy, we're all waiting for the action.

Wait so we shouldn't establish a convention??? I'm confused.

Wow. This is getting silly. I HAVE NOT SAID AT ANY POINT THAT I CAN RAISE THE MONEY HE HAS FOR CHARITY. HE HAS RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO HIM. ALL I AM SAYING ID THAT GIVEN THE SAME RESOURCES, ANY GAMER COULD PRODUCE CONTENT. THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING. AS A GAMER, HE ISNOTHING SPECIAL. HE HAPPENS TO MAKE VIDEOS. PEOPLE LIKE HIM. FAIR ENOUGH, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING AGAINST THAT.

Now this might get me back to SC2 :D, I know hes probably bad, but I like the guy, both the character and what it seems to be the real person behind athene.

Ignore anything Athene says or does he's just a massive troll who does things for attention Getting 1 million $ for charity so much troll.
So hello guys!
I just saw this thread and I read / (sorry , poor english, past tense? ) first page of answers.
I saw Athene's name in TL threads, I remembered his name from some WOW related stuf , years back.
ANyway,
I just want to ask , why so much hate and shit? didnt he raise some money for a noble purpose? whatever if it is for people to say -he does that just to grab attention or whatnot?
Sure , in a perfect world , one's donation for charity doesnt need to be/ shouldnt be a deafening shout out, but on some occasions , bringing people together to help and stick together, might be a better thing

Or I have an opinion you don't like, so you're flaming me for it. I don't like him or his content, but I respect him for all he's done. Let's just leave it at that. Fanboy ambush in this thread.

Well this won't get far or even accomplish anything by discussing it til any player from ROOT confirms this properly otherwise it's just blank. If CatZ says hes in then it's over hes in..

FYI: opinions and arguments are two different things. trying to mask an invalid argument as an opinion is a pretty fatal logical fallacy.
