I don't mean to be offensive, but I am not convinced that i should donate money to help you prolong your vacation. I too would like to go to korea and i too have a disability however i do not use it for personal gain. I apologize for my bluntness but this is how it is. It hasn't been much of a vacation. Its been a lot of fun and very enjoyable but it has also been an immense amount of work. It'd be nice to have a vacation once my project is finished though. Maybe we could have a different fundraiser for that?  Sorry but this just doesnt sound right at all.... First you want a fundraiser to cover your expensives and stay in korea, and after that you want to maybe have another fundraiser for a different vacation? when you allready have one right now? Sorry for being so straight forward... but that just doesnt sound right to me 
That's because he made a joke .

am i the only one with soundissues ?

Sound is terrible, I'm so impressed how normal he plays but I can't understand a single word T_T.

Thank goodness you have so much time to police quadriplegics trying to find a way to cope with their unique overhead during their hard-earned fellowship. Matt chose, out of any possibility, to use his fellowship to dive deep into the StarCraft community because of any community he has encountered in his life, this community is unique in its willingness and capacity to connect individuals from all walks of life, from all over the world without a thought to differences. It was the openness of this community that inspired Matthew to try to understand how e-sports could enrich the lives of other people with disabilities.
Life is so much more incredible when you look for the good in people. - Matt taught me that!

can't really comment on the sound as I'm at my school library and forgot my headphones but...
are you working on a schedule or anything?? when are the games? I thought this was going to be 24/7 starcraft but all I see is some older women working and it's kinda choppy.

There will be more starcraft content today, don't worry!

it doesn't bother me that you're doing this nor that people are choosing to help you out.
however in the case of personal fundraisers, sensible ways to separate causes of selfish reasoning and reasons of genuine need or utilitaristic benefit are few and far between, especially on an online forum. it does not even bother me that team liquid has officially chosen to support your cause, that isn't even close to my call or business, but it is somewhat bothering to consider what could be a sensible way to draw the line on what's kosher and not in terms of advertising a purely personal fundraiser. on a website (something awful) which has probably donated more money on grounds of internet altruism to various causes than the next couple online communities on the list combined, the line is drawn to pretty much "none, anywhere" zero tolerance sans specific moderator approval/initiative for it.
i've chosen to donate 10£ to http://www.limbless-association.org. good luck with your endeavours regardless.

I hate TL dramawhores like you.
EDIT for content with substance: I fully support Matt's dreams and endeavors to make this all happen for himself. But I can't support such an endeavor financially. I wish I was that wealthy where I could just throw money at any deserving person for their happiness, but I have to limit myself to only contributing to causes that are in desperate need of my money, not using it for (mostly) personal pleasure. I don't buy the whole "I'm supporting his 'work' for the community as a showman". argument. He's living the esports dream, my scarce charity dollars have to go to something more valuable than that. But by all means if you have the extra income to be able to help him go for it. Good luck Matt in your travels.

The paypal donation route is NOT advertised enough =/
I postponed sending the donation yesterday and almost gave up today, then thought about checking the thread again.

Or, you can send donations through paypal to finkm@carleton.edu. Donate $5, $10, $50, or more. Even small donations are a big help!
Is this what you are looking for(Its in the OP)

I have already found out, I'm just saying it's not advertised as it should. There's a clicky link for the other site which requires you to put all sorts of personal info and credit card number, and the stream's tinyurl also leads to that one.
Bold it out, add a "paypal" image or something. It's the most important info and it's buried in an otherwise great looking thread
p.s. fuck the extra 0,55 euros paypal makes me pay, wtf is that? never remember getting it before...
|
There's also a chip-in option below the stream btw if that helps.
Temp0 casting semifinals atm, good stuff!
|
So what's the total donation upto now? Close to $40k right?
