So technically speaking anyone from EU/TW/Sea/KR could qualify for the NA Ladder spots?

Seriously? It this some kind of a joke? This is the same guy who has absolutely no respect for this game or anyone that plays it. Either it be another Zerg, or even worse a Protoss or Terran, all he does is full-out insult anybody that beats him during a ladder match. He feels playing any race besides Zerg takes absolutely no skill and that you suffer from "autism" if you choose to play a race or a style which he does not appreciate.

This is the same guy who not too long ago retired from the game and would give endless speeches about how horrible the state of the game is, but now he's holding the community a tournament pretending to be some kind of a savior of the game. This dude is the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen. Talks shit about how Avilo's playstyle is annoying and horrible yet constantly plays swarm host vs every matchup. Talks shit about Starcraft 2: HoTs when it first released, then holds the community a $4000 tourny lol.

Cool, I'll be looking forward to this. I like this ladder battle format for qualification. Interested to see who the players will be.

At least he is doing something good for the community with this tournament idea. Much to the opposite of your post. Good luck with the tournament ! Will definitely tune in for it !

So we pay for it, and Destiny gets the ad money and exposure from it? Strange set up, but should be a good event.

On July 06 2014 07:29 Destiny wrote:


If it gets fully funded the I definitely make money from this, of course. I don't want to take on the risk of putting up a $5k event on my own because I don't want to just lose $5,000, though. Money that I raise from this will go towards the next tournament, though, so hopefully it's worth the initial round of community capital.

So how much money Destiny is usingto this tournament? Or do we "pay"(crowfund) this tournament?
That is really strange. Should tournament be then called Crowdfunded tournament or something?

I think the name is fine. You wouldn't call ti4 a crowd funded tournament.

Following this tournament I'll provide a detailed write-up of viewership stats and how much money I was able to generate via sponsorships/ad revenue/etc...in a similar fashion to Totalbiscuit's Shoutcraft "post-mortem" reports to give people a better idea about how the procurement and expenditure of said funding works in tournaments like these.

And yet, teamliquid takes my stream off the featured list , and leaves this stream on the featured list, which is by far worse than anything I've ever said or done on my stream.

So basically , average 2,000 viewers you can do whatever you want. average 3-400 and you better follow the rules.


Doesn't this logic remind you of something?

No. I don't know about TL staff rationals on this, but I can clearly explain why I totally quit watching your stream, while still enjoying Destiny's one.

There is a massiv difference between being douch, bm opponnent, etc... and calmy explaining why certain kind of people are despisable because of their sexual preferences. One night I witnessed an incredibly mean (and stupid by the way) rant of you against "homos", on your stream. You were not letting off the steam after a rebutal from a gay people you just tried to hook up in a desperate attempt to widen your perception of reality (it's just an example...): you were explaining afterwards why it's perfectly fine (not excusable, fine) to call your opponents "homos" to undermine them.

After spitting out your hatred on that matter, you claimed that you didn't care if some people stopped watching your stream because how a disgusting human beeing you are. Being unfeatured should satisfy you: less leftist faggets and hysteric dykes are watching you now.

Hint:
You see the difference: I'm mad so I insult you, but I refrain to explain how "people like you" should be thrown back in the deep dark hole they belong.

So how about those donations for your "dental work" Protech?

Protech while I sympathise, is this really the thread?

Hope this event runs smoothly, good initiative. Sick to death of people moaning about Destiny all the time, so fucking pious. This isn't to say you can't dislike his casting or stream, more people going out of their way to say they won't support anything associated with him/call him a horrible person etc.

Beacuse when you are a streamer, and you get thousands of viewers you can say / do anything you want.

This is the toppest of keks I've read in a loooooooooooong, loooooooooooong time. Are you trying to insinuate that I can say or do anything I want to with zero repercussion? Do I really need to link you anything to prove how asinine this statement is?

This tournament sounds great, and I'm glad to see Destiny is a part of it He's definitely one of the most interesting personalities I've had the honor of meeting (at an old Quantic-IM meet-up during an MLG).



Good to hear. I think we should re-post this whenever anyone asks for you to get your stream re-featured. Apparently we're helping you by leaving you unfeatured, so everyone wins. Congratulations on your success.

I don't think double standards in once instance, if that's what you're suggesting, equates in any way to being "done wrong." That's like doing time for molesting lil boys and then complaining about a priest. If you want to molest boys that bad, then become a catholic priest, I guess. It's no secret that it's even in TL.net's "rules" that certain people (pros/casters/popular people) are given more leeway/bigger leash on this site. That's life. No one cares about 2's. There's no pro scene. No one decent plays 2's (not seriously, at least). Playing a niche genre that no one cares about, while being viewed as a toxic personality... what can a person expect...

On July 08 2014 19:17 FLORIDACOMPACT wrote:


Compared to the amount of actual pro players (hint: 99% of them are korean and there are not a lot of them) out there, no one decent plays 1s as well. The rest you wrote is... utter bullshit, not even worth responding to that nonsense.

On July 08 2014 19:37 playa wrote:


Yeah, well, think how bad NA GMs are (I'd know.... you can get there without having any clue how to play the game). Then think about how bad NA master players must be... especially people who have been playing the game forever... It's going to be hard for many to care about "the best 2's player," when, in reality, it's just some average master player on NA that decided to play 2's (seriously), probably because he was tired of just being another guy... Given that he's the highest rated player to take 2's seriously, it tells you that even horrible players don't take twos seriously.

I'm not a Destiny fan boi or anyone's fan boi, outside of minigun... I'm simply saying it's fucking on tl.net's site why some people can get away with things that others can't. Destiny has been a pro gamer. He is now a caster/pro. And, he also happens to the the most famous player in the community, sans maybe day[9] or stephano... Given what tl.net has written on their site to expect... if you get treated differently than destiny, then maybe your credentials don't put you on the same level. It's amazing protech or w/e his name is got featured in the first place.

Sure this is the thread. After all, you can see the different opinions about this streamer in particular that directly relates to my situation.

I'm sorry for this but so far you don't even deserve to be on front page of twitch. I can name 10 other streamers who could be there and it would be much more for them. You sir were just lucky and since you realized it your stream turned down to quality level "cant say the game name but everyone knows" so please stop being jealous about Destinys succes and his contribute to this community stop with stream, mby even uninstall obs and starcraft and fix your real life problems !

Wow, the caster lineup of TB, Incontrol, Minigun, Nathanias, Tod and Rotti is so sick also.

This is shaping up to be a really sick online tournament. The player lineup is top notch, the caster lineup is phenomenal. I wish Destiny would also cast, but of course I am just thankful he decided to organize this tournament in the first place. I usually don't follow online tournaments (With the exception of Shoutcraft and the MLG GameOn stuff, this year) but I will tune in for this.

Also, gogo Inno.
