Hope MLG asked TL for permission to approach Milkis before offering him the position.

Either way, even if you don't take it, congratulations Milkis for getting the recognition for being the total baller nerd you are!


So... MLG is pulling an EG/TSL lol.

If Liquid want to keep him im sure he would take a salary cut to stay home if not he should go wherever he wants.

What would a full time gig for mlg entail? Does mlg have or are they starting to provide some Korean mlg content? I'm still not 100% sure what guys like slasher and jp do in between events.

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.


I disagree with this completely. I mean I know Milkis on a personal level and he doesn't really enjoy his candle making job, and would rather translate I am pretty sure. But he does make a lot of money from his trade.
MLG will need to make the flash/KT deal look like chump change in order to milkis to be hired.

That's a sign that they (MLG crew) is happy with Milkis job as a translater. That's because he did a great job at MLG

If Milkis think this is the better for him then I think he should go for it.

Milkis figh~~ err. Milkis translating!!! :D

Are you gunna sellout Milkis? Does money really talk??

How would agreeing to a deal with MLG make Milkis a sellout :/


Because TL groomed him from a pup when he was just doing mere text translations. Once he upgraded to include vocal translations too, MLG is coming in to try to steal him for their lineup.

He is where he is today bcz of his own hard work. would he really be stolen? would accepting a deal from MLG bar him from doin anything he's been doin :/


Do you really not understand the reference?

It was my understanding that Milkis tires of the candle making game. The politicking in that industry is enough to drive any good soul mad. The grapevine would have one believe that Milkis seeks to rekindle his passion as a craftsman with pottery, but I am certain that destiny has something else in mind. He was, after all, a world class underwater basket weaver. I know in my heart that if Milkis chooses to return to basket weaving, this time emphasizing art over competition, then serenity awaits him. And we all know that the only thing stronger than the allure of basket weaving is the baskets themselves.

ya but what about the robotics part? unless he's making nanomachines to weave said baskets.

I think this is a big mistake by MLG. A short anecdote...

I knew Milkis in highschool. We both lived in Texas, and he was your typical jock. Apparently, being a good linebacker meant he got straight As without even taking tests. I still have no idea what his white girlfriends (concurrent) saw in him. He bullied me and my friends for 4 hellish years.

Sundance will regret this.

I'm sorry, but what the fuck are you smoking? BW just getting started and then comes Starcraft 2? Starcraft 3 is coming in 1-2 years? O_O

Why is that being discussed on twitter? It's either a move to pressure him to accept or publicity because he has already accepted.
