Alright, most (some) of you might know him already - he's been a TL stream fella for longtime, like SC2 Beta and whatnot. Terran pride since 1998!
sPsDEBO (NA) / DeboEU (EU)
Probably the most entertaining streamer out there, as he's crafting crazy but effective builds, telling super hilarious (random) stories, and interacting with the crowd watching and chatting on his stream.
Interview with Debo and Trump from EsportsFrance.com (thx to short for the link) Quote: "Debo has of the funniest stream on TL and is also a great player!" http://www.esportsfrance.com/actualites/23542/

Well, he's decent Masters on both NA and EU servers, ppl. might consider that "top player". Lots of other featured terran buddys aren't in GM either. So what. Being a regular streamer on TL for about a year now, he has lots of fans around here and sure deserves a thread like that.
I've been watching Debo's stream pretty much solidly for the last few months and I can't think of anyone who deserves a Fan Club more! (more to the point TL, what about getting him a featured stream - he's been doing it since beta!)
I've taken lessons from Debo and watch his stream regularly. I hope he continues to stream and produce good content and Terran strategies. Count me in for this fanclub.

Yeah, the other great thing about Debo is he plays the style he wants to play. If that means opening mass viking or ye olde thorshippe against Zerg, that's what that means-- and he makes it work, and provides commentary along the way. Basically the best Terran streamer.
i wish debo and trump would make up and kiss. They were like the the perfect odd couple. Trump with his science, mathematicals and abacus and debo with his fried chicken, darkness and harass.. Used to love when they played together.
not gonna lie debo, I didn't know about you til you got the "Cella Bump" this morning but, it only took one badass Thor hero daily to make a quick fan. Gogo thug turran!

Debo was #1 stream during the beta. Now there is so much shit going on, so i dont watch streams anymore. But there is no doubt in my mind which stream i would pick over every other.
sign me up! debo was the first stream I started watching, hes a great player and streamer and actually has very useful information to tell his viewers, while also being awesome.
sign me up! and feature this dudes stream! Not enough starcraft players of color! His personality makes him very entertaining to watch, not to mention hes damn competent at the game.
Watching Debo play is just pure entertainment. Aint nothing to it; every streamer should aspire to be as consistent in his gameplay, personality, and positive/hilarious attitude as Debo. I'm amazed he's not featured yet! Everyone needs to watch his stream more so he becomes featured
Everyone makes it sound like he's just going off about nothing the whole time but that's not my experience , I found this streamer to be very analytical , speaking clearly about what and why he's doing this or that. And then after a loss or just a bad game , going back watching the replay and talking about what went wrong or right.

This is absolutely true. You don't get to the top of Master League by sitting on your hands; Debo is a critical analytical player who is constantly working to improve his game. The fact that he occasionally sings or says funny stuff on his stream is just an addition to that, and doesn't take away from his analysis.
His commentating while playing is absolutely amazing and he has very well thought out builds. He also never blames imbalance for his losses and always blames his own play. Lastly, Debo is funny as hell and always entertaining.

Awesome!!! Hopefully the man will be featured, soon. goddamn he's a good coach, too. just a pleasure to watch.
well he usually gets like, 100ish viewers when i've seen him on. I think he's like, just below the level of viewership where TL gives featured status; you don't want to feature a stream that doesn't have a lot of viewers to begin with because there's only so much space in the UI for featured streams... but it sounds like debo is right on the cusp. I'm sure he'll make it
This guy have 100 viewers and he think I sit and stream snipe him 6 in the morning LOL. and after that he ban me in chat. Not a fan of this guy anymore. stupid shit

so...you are saying that he accused you of stream sniping,
Great stream. Entertaining play and thoughtful discussion when random topics come up. Always like how you encourage everyone to enjoy SC and embrace other players, not hate on them or act elitest. Great stuff.
Smart player with great insight, im a masters zerg player an still feel like i can learn tons about all matchups with his commentary. Thanks for the streams bro, keep it the good work
Been watching Debo since Beta! Debo's stream is some of the best entertainment around, anywhere. I also learn quite a bit from Debo when I'm not too busy crying laughing. Keep it up dude - you da man!
Is there any procedure to getting a featured stream, or does some dude like the guy in the big ass chair from Inspector Gadget just make the decision when somebody rubs him the right way? I'm just a little lost because there are some GARBAGE featured streams from "pro" players on the Featured list.. and then a funny, consistent, and educational high Masters streamer like Debo still hasn't been featured even though he's been streaming since Beta and has majority support for a featured stream.. This seems silly, and the longer Debo goes unnoticed by TL, the more respect I lose for the site as a whole day after day. Seems like funny politics or something to me, but correct me if I'm wrong and just ranting like an ass for no good reason.
Quite disappointed that TL-Staff didnt mention anything yet about featuring-process. Plenty of fans, some particularly asking for it - no response. Fix pls!
This guy is awesome. Here's my hilarious debo stream moment:
I was watching him stream yesterday on a friends account. I think the account had approx a Diamond level MMR and he was matched up against a zerg on tal darim. He opts for a fast thor drop, so he techs straight to factory, armory, starport, gets a thor loads it up in a medivac and proceeds to lose the entire drop (medivac and thor) after killing only one queen at the Z's natural. By this time his minerals have built up to about 500 so I figure maybe he's just gonna expand now because the Z was turtled in pretty good. But no, that's not debos style. He proceeds to throw down 3 barracks and starts producing banshees from the starport while researching cloak. After building up a sizeable force of marines, banshee and tanks he goes for his super one base all in (complete with a bunch of scvs) and then loses his entire army. He then rage quits and gets angry about how he's playing so terrible. Overall it was very entertaining and I look forward to watching him stream more.
Strangely enough I am banned from his stream chat, and I have no idea why. It appears to be an IP ban because it affects anyone who signs in on my computer. I have even tried to use a proxy to view the chat, but still it says I am banned (even when not signed into any account). Does anyone else have this problem?
Does he stream everyday? I don't know his stream schedule, but I would love to watch him play and commentate. His youtube video is hilarious. Count me in!
That bandanna of Death video was hilarious. I suggest anyone who wants a laugh watch that video. It's just gangsta trust me.
I so want Debo to become featured. Might not be as top level as the best in the world but hell is he entertaining. Add me to his fan club I wanna join up.
Does anyone even have any proof the TEAMLIQUID HATES BLACK PEOPLE? I didn't think so and stop saying that TEAMLIQUID HATES BLACK PEOPLE. If anyone has proof that TEAMLIQUID HATES BALCK PEOPLE then bring it forward, otherwise shut up about TEAM LIQUID HATES BLACK PEOPLE.
I played Debo on the hots ladder today. He played a really cool banshee/helbat mech, i beat him but only because storm finished as he attacked. I checked out his stream, he seems like a pretty cool dude ^.^
Debo’s stream is a wonderful combination of familiar every day realities, good commentary, pleasant voices and a feeling of being part of the team. Debo is not the best player, but his approach is one of continuous improvement by way of speaking outloud (to the crowd) about his thought process. He touches on his mistakes, his strengths and tries to analyze his opponents and the current and future of the meta game.
If you just want to see some big-name player crush randoms then Debo may not be for you. He will at times blunder horribly, do stupid strats, ignore the most basic of warning signs and occasionally take naps without turning off his stream.
But it’s highly relatable, and that’s the most important part.
Debo's been saving up his bonus pool to make a big late season push. When he's on the next few weeks people definitely should drop in and catch a few games!
Looks like Debo's back in the action again; he was streaming for a few hours this morning and said he would be streaming again tomorrow at some point. He announces it on twitter so keep an eye there! "Debo plays for the fans!"
A really nice stream, heard a lot about the guy, always wanted to watch but my timezone makes it difficult. Today by chance I am awake at this hour and tuned in his stream on my phone and watched around 20Mins (cap reached damn it) Totally worth it.
