I think he should put that on YouTube in the highlights videos. On topic. I never ever have donated money to anyone on the web. I simply thought that nobody really deserved MY money to spend on stuff. Until now. I'm not wealthy by any means and I also have bills to pay and food to put on the table but I truly think that Day9 has the passion and the commitment to pull something off to make e-Sports grow greatly. Also Day9 already gave me (and to many others) so much that I think that it is time to give something in return to help e-Sports in anyway I can. I WILL donate. Not much but something;) and will try to support the community in positive ways and spread the word about SC and e-Sports in general. If all of us give (and I don't mean money) a little bit back, the sum of all part will be huge so... I'm doing my part. How about you? | ||

By all means give money to a deserving person like Sean, but don't delude yourself into thinking it's more than that. | ||

I really hope he accepts sponsorship too of some sort, he will need money, guaranteed. Donations could definitely keep him afloat, with all the people who love him, but realistically he needs some sustained income to do what he does best. I hope the future turns out as bright as it looks for him. | ||

If people donated enough for him to get by without tapping into those funds, he could use all the money generated by his dailies etc and funnel them into e-sports. All of it is completely optional too. He's still going to be doing the daily, and it's going to be free. He just said that if you would like to help him, you can. I watched the video, but I guess our interpretations of his message are different lol. People need to do more then throwing money at Sean and expecting him to carry esports. Getting involved in the community and starting your own projects is 100 times more effective then paying Sean's electric bill. Thats where JP started with SotG, thats where Sean started with his daily, and countless others who are well known in the community. | ||

Thats where JP started with SotG, thats where Sean started with his daily, and countless others who are well known in the community. Some people have more money than time. It's much easier for me to drop $1,000 into Day9's bank account than it is to spend 100 hours on my own esports projects. It's also much cheaper to boot since I own my own business and time is money. I also expect Sean will put it to good use in ways I never could, just because he has such a huge following already. Not everyone who plays SC2 is a broke college kid. Some of us are overloaded on time commitment but can easily help pay to help promote our favorite pastime. | ||

As someone already mentioned. Onetime donations will bring sean only so far. That's why i think smaller monthly donating would be a good thing. Of course to do that is everyone's own decision. It won't hurt me for sure and I like the thought of supporting day9 and directly (which cannot be denied since this union address) eSports with it. | ||

The only real problem I can see with that is that he might soon be able to provide more content than I actually have time to watch, and not being able to see all of it is going to be sad  Oh well, guess Ill have to sleep even less! | ||
