Specifically I'd like to thank Totalbiscuit for drawing such a huge crowd and a large portion of our donations, as well as SirScoots for giving a really, REALLY awesome interview that everyone should check out once the VOD is out. Of course, all of our guests were amazing. I'd also like to thank Rap1d for taking time to be a co-interviewer for a lot of our guests, as well as helping with getting a lot of guests on the show. You should definitely check him out at http://www.youtube.com/user/RAPiDtrans1t247 Once again, thank you to EVERYONE who donated. You really made a difference! | ||

Thanks to everyone who watched any part of the 24-Hour Charity Stream here on teamliquid, mahebourg.tv, or Twitch.tv! I'd especially like to thank all of our amazing guests, hosts, viewers, and donators! You guys were all so amazing. In total, we raised $1,224.37 for Child's Play Charity! I learned a lot from working on this charity event. Just because lesser known guests aren't like the SirScoots', HuK's, or White-Ra's, doesn't mean they're not a valuable part of eSports. I know that they're easy to overlook, but I still respect the lower level people doing everything for eSports. As long as they're genuine about it, every B-teamer, every small independent caster, every chat-mod and behind-the-scene coordinator is the backbone of eSports. What impressed me the most is the accessibility of professional players and their willingness to give their time to charity. When MahE told me about this event, I was really excited to see the power of eSports helping charity. Without thinking much about it, I messaged QuanticFlo, and a couple of other people on Twitter asking if they'd check it out. I was astonished when she and many others messaged me back letting me know they'd love to help! After that pro-gamers, hosts, SC2 community members, casters and basically everyone who could accepted my invitations. Thanks especially to TotalBiscuit who brought a massive number of viewers and donators raising almost $500 in under an hour, and CombatEX who donated $100 after his appearance. There were bumps along the way, but over all things went well. We had wonderful guests, fun games, lots of viewers amazingly generous donations, awesome interviews, and a great time! Thanks to everyone who participated, either by watching, being a guest, organizing things, and especially donating. Also to MahE for making the impossible possible. tl;dr We are all eSports and it is amazing what we can do! Post Script: Check out more of MahE, myself, and the rest of the Collegiate Starleague at http://cstarleague.com, and if you're into League of Legends, http://lol.cstarleague.com! | ||

Proof: http://i.imgur.com/bb9O7.png - shows the paypal account the money went to, as well as numbers. Names/emails removed to protect donators. http://i.imgur.com/zNhkq.png - Conversation with Jamie of Child's Play. http://i.imgur.com/HlNOU.png - my paypal activity on a date span including the date of the charity event. This is completely out of line and blatantly false. Any attempts to slander the event are just trolls and should be ignored. | ||

EDIT: As the donations did not come from me, it will be hard to verify that it was my event providing the donations at the time, but I will gladly provide a list of donators and times if Child's Play is willing to make a statement. | ||

The community has a right no confirm that someone who does a charity event actually donates the money that they received from the event. In no way is primadog slandering your event, just merely confirming that you did what you said you would. Also, I still don't see a transfer that amounts to the total you received from the event. | ||

I'm more so talking about the reddit post. Also, the money never touched me, my paypal, or any of my bank accounts. | ||

Hi XiFan, Thank you so much for getting in touch with your concerns. We appreciate knowing that the community is looking out for us! We worked with mahE before the event and ensured his ChipIn widget was set up to donate directly to Child's Play. I just double-checked and we did receive the donated funds. I've be posted on the Reddit thread regarding this issue (http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/owefj/mahes_24_hour_charity_stream_has_failed_to_donate/), but if you could also post this on any relevant forum threads I would greatly appreciate it. "We have recently been contacted regarding some concerns with a recent stream run by MahE of the Starcraft 2 esports community. First of all, we appreciate knowing that the community is looking out for us - if you ever have questions regarding a Child's Play fundraiser, please feel free to get in touch with me (Jamie, jdillion@childsplaycharity.org). MahE did work with us previous to the fundraiser to set up a ChipIn widget that fit our specifications, which includes donating directly to our Paypal account. The donations gathered during the stream did not at any point pass through any 3rd party: they were donated directly to Child's Play. I have verified in our Paypal account that we received the donations. We greatly appreciate the support of the Starcraft2 community. Again, if you ever have questions regarding an event (or setting up your own!) please feel free to get in touch. Best regards, Jamie Dillion Project Manager, Child's Play Charity" If you have additional questions, please feel free to let me know. Regards, Jamie I would like to personally apologize for MahE for perpetuating the issue and investigating it personally. | ||
