Top NA masters isn't something that's terribly hard to achieve, especially when 4 gating a large chunk of the games. | ||

Of course I'm going to have bias because I like him more than MB, but that doesn't mean I condone his actions he's taken in this situation. I know it's a pretty hard concept to understand, sorry. | ||

Again, imagine if you were a pro and JP said "Hey, come out to my studio for a 'Real Talk' interview! I'll pay for your expenses +$100" You do the interview and go on your merry way. Next week the show airs and you see a "Help Pay for zefreaks Costs!" donation box under the episode. Are you really telling me that you don't think you deserve some of that money if he earns $6000 from those donations? | ||

Maximus paid all the moneyi n cash, then asked his viewers to donate him back the money so he didn't lose like a grand to bring desrow, then asked for more after that was finished to go to MLG. None of that money was meant for desrow whatsoever. | ||

If someone is using my name to earn money behind my back, then I would have a serious problem with it. But like I said, if Desrow was aware of all of this before the fact then he deserves nothing and owes MB an apology. | ||

I've been watching Jeffs stream since he started.. been a huge fan from the start. so happy he's making it big time in the sc2 scene. What makes me sick is that I watched A LOT of the training sessions with Desrow and the stuff he said on stream (only jeff knows what he said offstream) was really out of the line. There was a incident when Desrow called Jeff about being fat.. and he 'reasoning' was cause he was looking out for his Fiance or some bs. Everyone on the stream was saying how anti-social desrow was, how he says things without thinking, how it was SO clear that Jeff was taking it like a man and not saying anything to him. If it wasn't for the 'fans' jeff would've kicked him out of his house like any normal person would've. In any 'JOB' situation (Desrow being the 'Employee' and Jeff being the 'Employer') would ANYONE say these kind of things to their Employers etc? Sc2 advertises professionalism. There was nothing professional about desrow during and after that week. He said a lot of things about that last shadow guy. That says a lot of things about his character. Who knows what he said about jeff... the guy who welcomed him into his house. Oh wait.... Good luck to you Jeff! Gratz and GG | ||

If i think my image is worth that much i am going to put that down, some percentage of event revenue cause i know my image sells. That is not what happened, i agreed to flat rate off 100$ in your example cause i felt that was a fair price for my service. I dont get to go after the fact and ask for more money cause i learned that JP made a lot of money. If Desrow felt he was worth more then 1000$ or whatever amount he should not of agreed. He was paid for in full for an amount he agreed on for a job he completed. | ||

First off your gonna talk about this the day I get on Quantic where this was a good day for me. You guys wanna know the truth here you have it. I'm not being bias at all when I say this. Desrow agree'd to $500. I asked him how much he makes per week and wanted to pay more. He was super happy about the $500 as I was paying for his flights/food and staying at my house. Here are my costs as follow: Flights-$400 Food-$70ish Pay-$500 Bought him a bed to sleep on (Got my dad to leave work to help me move it to the apartment) $200 =$1170 The first day I got a huge donation from a big support of mine. So at 9am in the morning after being up til 4am. I went to best buy to buy him a microphone. Which cost me $130. I have recipt if he wants to see it. Just because I did really well that day and didn't want to be "greedy" So now we're at a total of $1300. Durning this event many things happened. First he started talking about my fiance in a sexual manner muti times. I muted my stream TWICE telling him to stop. He said sorry he was just trying to be funny. When you're in someones home that invites you there you don't talk about the mans girl like that ever. Anyway that is done. The next day he plays lostshadow on ladder and loses and RAGES hard. Calling him f*g this and that and going into this LOOONG story about what LastShadow did or didn't do in Korea. At that point I was forced to shut off the stream abd delete the VOG so no one would get it and post on reddit. Lastshadow was pissed off and I talked to LS till 3am trying to clam him down so he didn't go public and then the whole bootcamp would be ruined. Ok that's done everything works out. The next day he starts talking about my girl again and this time it's about dudes gangbanging her. On stream I said wtf dude stop talking about her in that way. At that point the stream wasn't to happy and they could tell I was pissed. I didn't get over that since the end. So everyone on the stream thought I was upset later in the week because Desrow was hard on me but infact I was super pissed off. Another large donation comes in and it gets topped off at the goal. In total the donations were $3500. ON THE CHIP IN IT SAID THIS Chip-in from Desrow Costs/MLG Trip then below that it said $0-$9001 and it listed again. (I made it very clear that the rest of the money would be going to me as I didn't even want people thinking any would go to him) I even told people on the stream what the money was for and DESROW KNEW. He knew the whole time we even talked about it. He said man you did well even got your trip paid for etc. The stream made $800 in ads that week because we streamed about 12 hours a day for 7 days with 3k plus people. So guys at the end of the day I made some money. I made more than Desrow BUT it was my RISK, I promoted the event from LAGTV my solo channel and pumped it up for a month before hand. Desrow agree'd to an amount that we both thought was fair. I didn't expect to do so well by the fans. So I got him the microphone as a thank you gift. Now the fun part. He pm's me on skype saying he didn't think it was fair I made so much and him so little. I explained to him what I just did here. I told him flat out NO you don't deserve shit after what you said about my fiance and also fucking up the bootcamp with LastShadow stunt. Also guys to be honest I was losing out on money, I had some stuff prerecorded but this was a time when NovaWar Says and When Cheese Fails wasn't posted in almost 3 weeks because I didn't have a chance to get with Adam because DesRow was here. I had material pre-recorded but it wasn't the high view material that we normally have up. Anyway back to the story. CSN comes to be about a sponsorship to go to Quakecon. The first thing out Andrews mouth was I heard about desrow thing. At that point I'm like WTF. So this dude is now talking shit about me to companys. I went back to talk to him. At that point he said he went to 10 different people and most of them called him "stupid" for agreeing to the deal. He said he wanted more money and he would be happy with $300 more. That's when I said FINE. Just so you don't run your mouth no more. TAKE THE DAMN MONEY but don't EVER ask me to do anything for you again. Might I also add he got more followers and subscribers than what he gets in months from that one week? Also Desrow was known to be a bit of a hot head and he did very well with the public selling himself to my fan base. Which was great for him. The whole time my fans at NASL on my stream and what not were saying how such a great person he is and all that shit and it took EVERYTHING in my power not to come out and say what I just said now. Yeah I gave him the money $800 in total the flights/food.microphone thousands of new followers. He also compared me to Day9 making way more than dApollo and how that isn't fair. I told him I'm the one with the idea, I'm taking you here you work for ME not the other way around. Then he called me greedy. Listen guys if he came to me FIRST without running his mouth to other people in the community and asked me nicely I MIGHT have just given him more money. (Prob not though because of what he was saying about my fiance) Yeah I paid him off to shut up about it. It's none of anyways buiness to know how much I make or how much money Desrow makes when a deal is made between us. I don't go telling people what Quantic is giving me to be on the team. I don't expect anymore to talk about what I made that week. It's bullshit and uncalled for. This happened a month ago. You got your money what more do you want? You lost a fan from me, I wish you the best of luck in your future. This was just uncalled for and pointless to bring up. Thanks for sharing personal info to the public and also thanks once again for showing your true colors. I wanted to for the past month but out of respect didn't say anything because we once again had an agreement that I pay you and that was it. (Sorry for grammar it's 5am here) | ||

I'm sure Quantic didn't hire Maximus Black to be professional or PC. Let's also not forget that Naniwa was on Quantic. I don't think this makes Quantic look bad at all, and I'm sure many people are interested in this side of the story. | ||
