These sorts of comments overestimate the value of being a really all-star player. Sure, it's important to be a good player, and even better if you can make top 8 in any major tournament/carry your team in clan wars. However, none of that means anything for sponsorship if it's all you do. IdrA has proven to be more consistent, harder working, and most would say a stronger player than KiWiKaKi, and even he has to do a ton of PR stuff. IdrA is constantly going on things like SotG, doing promotional videos like game analysis of his games from MLG, casts, performing interviews (which he's gotten a lot better at). KiWiKaKi does none of that, and doesn't appear to do a whole lot to gain a huge following. | ||

But he is willing to go out in the public and do what his sponsors want so that he will get paid. Thats the main part why eg would get a better sponsor than root would if kiwi wasnt willing to put him self out there. So I agree with the rest lol. | ||

Keep up the good work, and I'll try to work through my linguistical hangups.  omg I feel the same way. I can't get over the "coL" thing. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Call me crazy. | ||

Might be from all the negativity that they been getting for dissolving root and joining complexity. He did seem a little upset that so many people were worried or hyping kiwi and slush. | ||

I read all of drewbies posts on this thread and he seems to be a immature baby. grow up man. if you wanna take sc2 to a business level start acting like a professional. It's unreal how people are saying Destiny is the one that will put complexity in some shame with his attitude. I totally disagree. | ||

He lost his team, KiWiKaKi, his dog! He's a human! Don't you realize he's making all this money and all you do is talk crap about him? You're lucky he even performed. Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time? Anyone that has a problem with him, you deal with me, because he's is not well right now. Leave Drewbie alone! | ||

Even that would have been a HUGE stretch for IdrA, I'm sure he would be insulted if you thought his BM would reach that level. Anyway I'm sure drewbie was pissed at this whole switch to coL and people giving them shit. Still doesn't warrant this kind of thing though. | ||

I understand that people need to earn money, but you have to sacrifice things if you want to be the best and by being some sort of community hero because you put your ID or team out there by doing things mention above wont do it. Especially if you already is playing for one of the biggest gaming communitys in western esports and get free trips to events and most likely some sort of salary. It's the people like KiWiKaKi teams should take in if they want good results and not just mediocre MLG placements. | ||

Yeah, what Drewbie did was pretty bad (worse than what Idra has ever done from what I can recall, although Idra also does it much more often)... that being said I'm willing to forgive once but it's definitely not a good way to start off his coL career... | ||
