How dare MLG want to hire Milkis because he's a good translator

You are 0/2 in this thread, so far. I think it's time to bring in a pinch hitter.

Well done Kelly, first FHM and now a full time job for MLG!


This isn't Kelly...

I like the minerals reference, which made me chuckle a little in real life. I hope he does accept the offer since MLG can use a consistent and reliable translator instead of having random translators at different events like other tournaments.

Yeah I agree. Recent translation successes doesn't go unnoticed by MLG

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Nice, Demuslim's recent interview with Puma shows that Milkis is only the second best translator though.

Rofl, I don't get why MLG is trying to get him to quit college to do 'full time esports'. If Milkis wanted to do it then he'd do it but don't get the community to pressure him into doing it if he wants to just finish his degree.

Let him finish his degree if thats what he wants, he's only what, a year or two away from it anyways, approach him after that.

He deserves a full time position, but I find this really unprofessional the way that MLG called him out on Twitter.

I believe he attends UChicago. I wouldn't advise him quitting school for this opportunity. Only do it if its a part time thing.

I apologize for my confusion earlier in the thread. It seems that, in fact, Kellymilkies and Milkis are two different people.

That being said, I think it's wrong what MLG is doing. Milkis already has a very successful career as a candle maker and is currently in school learning robotics. I'd hate to think of what could happen were he pulled away in the name of "esports".

Plus, there's no job security in SC2. I mean, just look at Brood War. It was just getting started and BAM, here comes StarCraft II just a few short years later. What will happen when StarCraft 3 comes out in 1-2 years? Different game, different translation needs. Milkis would find himself jobless and eventually homeless due to the recession.

I think it's great that MLG is taking an interest in Milkis and his amazing translation abilities, but unless they're offering him a six figure income it's clear he can do better with his current profession. Candles are a multimillion dollar industry and esports is just a drop in the bucket comparatively.
