I mean, i understand it. my stream in sc2 was what kept me playing that game after blizzard made the infestor change to duration of fungal and my motivation got destroyed. then my streaming petered out as i was trying to revive my interest by helping people and got some money scammed from me and i quit. | ||

I'm happy the style of play i spent a year developing ended up being the ancestor to stephano's style. so at least i could pretend i did something useful. i still get PMs and stuff from former viewers asking about me, its sad T_T. | ||

Monte wasn't just trying to be a popular content creator, he had a specific content in mind similar to a sort of Day 9 Daily. Day 9 had personality as well, but his initial success is extremely tied to the esteem he was held in the BW community, on the back of his very high level ability. Monte wasn't garbage at League or anything, but he wasn't a top tier player either, which is generally what the public will expect from content of that type. He was good enough to help a very very large % of the playerbase which I think is why he started doing it, but unfortunately clout plays a large part, and in this scenario clout comes in the form of Elo/League+Division standing. So what you're saying is, his show didn't work out because the second half of his name was -gomery and not Cristo? | ||

So I'd still count that #2 player as having a gimmick, it's just a particularly good one? I don't think I've ever had a proper gimmick to hook people in. Blind DS run comes close I suppose? | ||

I've never felt that I deserved better than I got, since the majority of the factors were things under my control that I simply failed to do or didn't do well. | ||

Well that Monte got his clout through being an OGN caster, whether that should or shouldn't count/work is irrelevant, it put him high in the eyes of the many(also I do think he's pretty damn good at his job FWIW, not perfect and not always correct but yea).

He has the voice and the stream personality to pull it off. I don't mean to add to your lamentations about streaming Wave but sometimes you're just a little too late to the game or 'born in the wrong time' if you will and that sucks but it happens.* *This doesn't mean stop trying, maybe your break is still ahead of you. | ||

Eh, people say that but I watch other super popular streamers with crazy good voice and wonder how anyone things I have a good one. (Also maybe Caleb corners the market on streaming 'gingers?' Certainyl doesn't hurt that he's ripped as fuck) I really should stop concerning myself with stream popularity so much when it's very clear I have a lot of hurdles preventing me from getting anywhere (and rightly so) but I just can't help myself. And Monte I always thought you deserved more than what you got.  | ||
