Maybe he starts being professional gamer for a while so he can promote his charities etc better. He is done already with other games now and D3 isn't very interesting to masses anymore (I assume).

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).

No. People are just calling you out for your logical fallacies. It has nothing to do with fanboyism.

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

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.

I just went through every post to make sure noone from ROOT confirmed this

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

Despite the hate people have for him on tolerant TL he's a good guy and a few of his videos are fucking hilarious. I say +1 for ROOT.

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?

$1 million for charity at dreamhack, he's definitely a big troll that no one likes....

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)

Just a quick question: Did he actually play some competitive games successfully? You know, against people like sc/quake/cs etc.

No one is saying that he lives his everyday life as the person on YouTube. 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.

Dude, he worked for that stuff. 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?
