Took the time to say hi to me every time we passed at the event, nice guy! He is a real flirt
I saw him at IPL3...he was pretty seriously smashed >_>
I'm ok with the scene being very relaxed (live on three with beers at ipl3, etc), but it seems pretty BM to make your introductory video sitting on a bed, smashed, drinking more whiskey. Maybe that's just me.

that video was a perfect introduction to 2gd. he is not super professionally boring. he is himself. he is hilarious and easy going. he does his own thing and it's brilliant.
frankly 2gd is the only caster i've been watching lately because he doesn't completely kill his personality for a cast.

No more slaving away at a help desk, DJ! :D
I never knew who 2GD is until IPL3 live Live on 3, but he was pretty awesome. So grats to him! :D

I think it's pretty clear how passionate these 2 are for the industry so this is pretty amazing news for both of them and TwitchTV looking forward to some great things in the future!
|
Now it makes sense on the timing for djWHEAT quitting his day job.
He found a better job.
|
djWHEAT transitioned from a boring day job to awesome dream gaming gig without dropping his macro!!!!
and 2GD is awesome as well, super excited to see what comes from this... maybe a Twitch sc2 lan in the making? who knows!!!!
|
congrats to both of them. things can only get better at twitch.tv
|
Wheat scored such an awesome gig. I'm glad his hard work has payed off. Now he has a job that not only will support his family, but let him do something he really likes. That must feel pretty sweet.
|
I don't understand what their jobs will actually be? Are they just going to be spokesmen? Because it's pretty hard to see what else they bring to the table other than their names.

Here's hoping :D Great news. Kudos to djWheat for finally being able to get out of his day job. Can't think of anyone who deserves something like this more.
|
I have a confession: I haven't posted on TL for . . . quite awhile. But this is definitely big enough for me to come back and make a post:
djWHEAT, I, uh, may have had some dust in my eyes as I watched your video. I know this is something you've been working towards your whole life and it must be a dream come true for you to be able to do it full time. Congratulations, man, you deserve it.
|
DJWheat yeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!!
|
I can't think of someone I'd rather have guiding the tiller of ESports than djSWEET. Congratulations!
|
Twitch TV have the balls to actually employ 2GD 
GLHF!!!
|

|
Congrats DJWheat! Long time fan and it's great to see that things keep working out for you. What you do is very inspiring and you have helped me shape my own life goals. Keep kicking ass my good sir!

If so thats pretty amazing yet scary leap of faith he's taken I have quit my day job. I hope my confidence in Twitch.tv is an indication at just how much I believe in this company. My family means the world to me, so these decisions aren't made lightly. My wife is fully supportive and she thinks it's right up my alley. That helps a lot as well. Awesome news, congrats! (Took you long enough :p)
Also, congrats to Twitch.tv! This might be the first time I've seen a company hire an "e-sports manager" who actually knows what the fuck he's doing.
