it's really hard to understand plansix as a person.
he seems to get annoyed if you are offensive with language but seems to not give a shit if you're an epic douchelord who exploits people for money. if you make jokes about cancer, you should really think twice because you might hurt someones feelings, but if you lie and take peoples money, don't worry about it, you're successful, haters gonna hate.

me too, man. I believe he's living the dream more than any professional player.
make your own schedule is a huge upside, and he always gets donations and subs. he must make a killing off of what he does.
I would imagine being a superiormoba streamer would be even greater in terms of monetary gain tho
Unclear. That market is saturated to all hell and back, while he is the only man really living the dream in Dota 2.

iNcontroL and Anna Prosser apparently cried when they got the news GGA was acquired by Amazon so I guess the money was quite a bit if you tear up about it.

Basically coaching and support. During that LAN EG was in prior to DAC Machine was right behind them.

while true, if you're the top streamer in LoL I would bet that your numbers and donations are likely to be higher.

they don't stream regularly enough. RTZ just started donations so perhaps he will get enough.
I think in order to really get money off donations, you have to be willing to read every donation. with bulldog and sing, people just wanna say ridiculous shit and get it read on stream. if people notice they aren't getting acknowledged they are gonna be less likely to repeatedly donate.
holy shit i bet that guy got a gigantic payout too wasn't the payout based on seniority with eg? machine and incontrol are surely the longest standing members of that org right?

They receive no where near the same amount of subs/donations as waga. And the stream viewer numbers really aren't that much higher on average. Usually once waga is on for a few hours he has like 5-10k right? Anyway waga has a sub counter on the top right everyday and I always see it at like 20-40+. He just started today and it's already 1 sub, lol.
Not to mention the constant stream of donation messages coming in. He's definitely making more than most pros/casters doing this.

I'm assuming you meant "Is Testie still"?
If so, no he's not. He's pretty much 100% done with HoN after he quit for a few months to heal his back injuries. He hasn't streamed in forever and he's currently only playing dota 2 afaik. Think he's trying to land himself on a team since he's 6k MMR now and starting to get a hang of the game.
no rtz's been getting ac razy amount of donations ever since he started taking them but the problem is his internet in wherever he moved to isn't fast enough to support streaming now lmao

dang he's already 6k?
I wonder how good he is compared to um, I guess moonmeander? Is that comparable?

my fucking head.
Normally I ignore your posts when you get on your hate train, but since this one addressed me directly, I'll respond this.
I don't really think they "exploited people" as much as were young kids that got large fan bases and didn't know what to do with them. Everyone from Artosis to Incontrol were guys trying to make a living and generally pumped about Esport shit. They got into things that didn't pan out and sometimes got their fans burned. I have never thought they did it on purpose and I don't think they really harmed in any long lasting way. I know this because I see every day what deception and people making mistakes can do to their lives. I know because I'm the one who gets to help clean up the mess.
That's the difference between you and me. I think the best of people, you think the worst.
