Man, what's with all those FPS people. No wonder why I have to turn everyone's mic off when playing on Live.

WoW Sideshow - The Prince of Qatar

For those that may not be involved in the esports scene, you may not be aware of a guy named "Ooi", also known as the prince of Qatar. Pretty much every top or high-recognition arena player has been in contact with this guy at one point or another. Basically, he is the prince of Qatar and has an absurd amount of money due to, obviously, being a part of the royal family.

What he is most known for is giving players an exorbitant amount of money to play with or for him to get arena points every week (and, incidentally, proving why a lot of middle eastern countries are failed or collapsed states; use all of that oil money on infrastructure and jobs and not on the elites you dimbulbs).

Nobody really knows why he hands money out like this. Maybe he is just a lonely individual, but the cash he gives out is a lot higher than you may think as Yog, Sonydigital, Pookz, Twix, Valrath, Veev and many others including myself have all been paid to be a part of this cartel. Although I haven't really been involved with the guy in a while, the amount of money paid out is easily close to a grand just for playing 10 games a week. For end-of-season gladiator titles? Over $500. For rank 1 titles? Over $2000.

If you play on Blackrock and have been wondering why Pookz, Valrath and several other players have transferred off, the reason is money. An insider reported to me recently that Yog was paid $4000 to transfer his character to Ooi's server and has been getting paid $800 a week for some time now.

God only knows how much account sharing is going on as not everybody always transfers their characters to play with/for Ooi for money.

Does the prince of Qatar have the resources to pay off Blizzard employees from account action?


LOL

I can't believe inc actually got flown over to teach him... I thought that was just him being himself...

they have MW2 as a game choice? Ugh, COD4 Pro mod is a far superior FPS product. Now I've gotta look up if they play with any restrictions in MW2

Oil FTW

Suppose anything that adds money into the game is good 'n all.

As for the ToS violation, I think this comes under "don't shag the boss's daughter" rule of international business, easy to overlook. If indeed Blizz security is that good in the first place and not just complete theatre.

I remember some years ago when I played WoW, this "Prince of Qatar" supposedly bought the best geared character in WoW at the time (the character had a 2-set item that had a drop chance of like 1 % before most people had even killed the boss that dropped it) for somewhere around 10 000 dollars (not 100 % sure about the amount, could be more or could be less). Furthermore the guy who sold the character simply leveled a new one, and the Princes new character got banned pretty swiftly (the whole thing was pretty public as it was one of the best players in the world, so people generally kept tabs on him and noticed when the character transfered to a different server).

I believe this kid had one of his minders line up all evening in London to get him _5_ copies of Starcraft 2 on the launch night. I know this because I was talking to him all night (he had UAE diplomatic credentials). I forget if it was Qatar or another emirate, but it seems to fit given what's been written here.

Why he needed 5 copies who knows...
