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. If I was Bill Gates. I would be Bill Gates. | ||

Let's just leave it at that. Fanboy ambush in this thread. No. People are just calling you out for your logical fallacies. It has nothing to do with fanboyism. | ||

Fun to see there is still people who don't know he is acting douche most of the time in his videos (he is actor). becoming a professional gamer, especially on sc2, would require so much time (and I don't think he would be even close of being successful). Although I might see him as a caster : D | ||

FAIR ENOUGH, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING AGAINST THAT. This statement confuses me, couldn't you say the same for anything? Given they were as good at basketball as Michael Jordan anyone could be a hall of famer. Given you had MVP's mechanics and decision making anyone could win GSL. He earned those "resources" by working hard to produce his content. Obviously the reason not everyone has these resources available to them is because not everyone could do it. Maybe I misinterpreted what you were trying to say, but this made very little sense to me. | ||

If this is true, I don't know why he'd leak it like this before ROOT made an official announcement | ||

It is more a statement of "he has expensive editing software I can't afford, and a PC I can only dream of having." If I wanted to try make the videos he makes, and had the software and PC capable of making said videos I could. It doesn't mean I'd get a fan base or instant sponsorship. I am not trying to take anything away from him. But, from what I've seen, he acts arrogant and cocky in his videos, which is apparently a character, but I could not tell from his videos as there is nothing to say its a character to someone who watches only a few. From these videos ive watched, he acts as if only he could do these things,which was what I was trying to explain is not ttue.Maybe this explains it better? | ||

anyway i think its legit, and to be clear it doesnt mean he wants to be a player for sc2 or anything else, he could have a variety of roles and it doesnt matter what he does, his massive fan base will have root getting a lot more attention (and sc2 in general) | ||

What they say is that his portrayal on YouTube (his "acting douche", as you put it) caters to some of the lowest forms of humor. | ||

He didn't got given anything. His first videos he had some old ass PC and look where he is now. How about working yourself instead of "if i got given x i could y" nonsense? | ||
