Jeff Johnston better known as ‘MaximusBlack’ is a Masters Protoss Player. Jeff is better known as a commentator on Life’s A Glitch TV, and is also known for his channels most popular show “When Cheese Fails”. Jeff joins the ranks of Terran, PainUser, HDStarcraft, ThisIsJimmy, Suppy, Syckness, Veritas, Mystik, Mkengyn, Ailuj and others in Check-Six Gaming.
Jeff had the following to say: “I'm excited to have this opportunity with Check-Six. The team already has high expectations for me to hit GM and I aim to meet them. I also want to thank the managers and sponsors for making me feel so welcome and of course all my bouses and bousettes for being behind me over the past year.”
We all look forward to the coming year because with Jeff, we will be announcing some things that we hope will get the casual portion of the StarCraft 2 community involved! Here are a few words from the management of Check-Six;
Check6 Director, Curt ‘KeyHunt’ Carter: “We are incredibly excited to have Jeff on the team. He is one of the most vibrant, hilarious personalities in the community. When we initially spoke with him, we were a little hesitant at first but after 5 minutes with him everyone knew he was going to be a perfect fit. The community can learn a lot from Jeff. He took his part-time hobby and turned it into a full-time job... All while enjoying every minute of it. He will not only be doing a ton of amazing content for us like King of the Hill events, tournaments and show matches but he will also be playing for us as well. Our players and our management both see potential in his dedication to the game and drive to become better. That is enough for us, and hopefully that is enough for all our supporters as well.”
Check6 Director, Bernie ‘Fujikura’ Catalan: “The players and I are excited to see what's in store for Check-Six now that the Bouse himself is here; we're definitely going to have the most bouse team on battle.net now!”
Check6 SC2 Manager, Mike ‘winteR’ Ortlani: “I’m personally very excited to have Jeff on board because of his genuine dedication and extremely honest drive for improvement as both a player and a personality within the SC2 community. These qualities are as essential in building a successful team as much as they are in developing the ever-growing E-Sports industry.”
As usual, none of this would be possible without the amazing support from our sponsors TteSPORTS, Puretrak and GamersUniform. For updates on CheckSix Gaming and Jeff, you may follow us on the usual social media sites listed below:
I was wondering how long it would take you to chime in!
As Jeff brings a lot to the table for both Check6 and more importantly the SC2 community in general we felt it prudent to see our plans through in posting an official PR for him. This press release would have been posted prior to the fan made thread had it not been for his fans crashing our website (and consequently our initial PR posted on our main page) following the release of his announcement video on youtube.
Most of Jeff's viewership and fan base currently stems from the Reddit community and so he is not as widely known on TL. I would urge anyone who is reading this and doesn't know Jeff to give his stream and youtube channel a look.
Cheers~
P.S. We have contacted TL administration to have the fan-made thread closed in lieu of this one.
i remember seeing games on his channel back when he was s lowly platinum noobie like myself. Great to see him have such a great opportunity on a great team
Isn't that the guy that accused someone else for streamcheating, told him to kill himself and told his streamchat to spam that guy WHILE having blacked out his stream?
i get that everyne is a bit sceptic of this, bu as someone who has followed MB for a whle i can say that he could be a pretty good player and is willing to put in he work. hope he does well
Wow, very interesting move to sign on this side of LAGtv, especially considering Maximus' history with drama and reddit's strong dislike for him. Oh well, we'll have to see how this pans out I suppose.
