He slaughtered every game he played, be it LoL / Sc2/ wow/diablo 3. You might say these are all easy feats, but truly it's not. His smart use of game mechanics made it possible for him to afterwards raise over 1million $ for charity in the name of gaming. Some still call him the leetking even, but I wouldn't go that far  He also has a very funny series on youtube that later got banned from the 'most viewed' lists because it didn't share youtube's policies [at least the very first 10 vids we funny as hell 4 years ago ]Go athene, can't wait to see you find new ways of owning dem nerds :-) It's over the top to say he can make or break a game. People still play all of the games regardless of what he did and didn't do in them. I also wouldn't say he "slaughtered every game he played." He has no notable accomplishments in SC2, it is widely recognized by the high ranked WoW PvP community that he was carried to rank1 in 5v5, and he gave up in his race for "world first" hardcore Diablo kill when Blizzard nerfed the very exploit his strategy hinged on. I can't speak to LoL since I don't follow it but I imagine it's along the same lines. He is good at using exploits in the games he plays though - that much is true. I wouldn't connect his "smart use of game mechanics" to his ability to raise $1M for charity, but rather this fame and following from creating outrageous gaming videos. | ||

 Somehow the mental image of Borat showing up at an MLG is stuck in my head now. | ||

Who's next, I wonder? i think they are trying to copy EG. as they dont have EGs money, they obviously cant buy good players like thorzain or huk but they can still buy bad players that are getting attention although they dont win anything (like incontrol etc.) seems to be a great model these days. your sponsors get lots of time on air if you buy bad players that gain a lot of attention. as they are bad players, they still earn less than mid or lower top tier players but your sponsors are still happy | ||
