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.


Great news indeed Wheat <3 Good luck with everything!


Wheat had a day job?

About god damn time he got to go full time esports then.

I am happy your work has paid off. Here's to many years to come! I wish you the best of success- because being completely selfish, I couldn't imagine a day without my dose of WHEAT anymore.

Congratulations to you and James

dude wheat deserves this position more than anyone else in the esports universe

he's had his heart in it since the days of antiquity where commentating was called shoutcasting for some reason i never quite figured out, and quake 3 was the only e-sports game that existed, and he never did it for the money, he did it because he just fucking loves the competition, i seriously doubt 95% of his early work he got paid a cent

some people are in this business for all the right reasons and wheat is one of those people

Well said, I remember listening to wheat 3 years ago and he would always be working his nine to five job and said his goal is to be able to work in eSports for a living, congratulations!

I believe this to be a momentous day as DJ Wheat in my opinion is the MOST passionate person in competitive gaming/e-sports/community/content creation blah blah blah etc.

I have such respect for him and the time he has invested...
OVER A DECADE PEOPLE...

He puts his all into this community, bringing us content day after day, giving up his own family time for the sake of growing e-sports to his own vision that i'm sure was started when a lot of the TL users were barely old enough to read. Now the man himself is going to lead Twitch.tv to even greater heights! What his direction is or where it will take "us" is yet to be seen, but I believe it will be an amazing ride and journey that will fast forward the growth of E-Sports as a whole.

At the rate things are going I am almost frightened,but in a good way of course. We have F-Slasher bringing us so much content on a daily basis which is indicative of the amount of content there is to talk about (which is why he started his show).

There's LO3/STOG/ISTG/IGN/MLG/Dreamhacks/Playhem/Day9/ESVDIAMOND/GSL/Loads of smaller tourneys and much much more.

So I guess to sum this up, I have to thank Twitch.tv for picking the right man for the job. Justin Kan for being so dedicated in the first place and growing the streaming aspect of E-sports to the level it has become today.

TwitchTV deserves a lot of love. Ever since the sc2 release, they've done more and more and more and more to help their platform cater to gamers. Hell, even before SC2 they still had a BW tournament sponsored by JTV.
