I was just joking about that; a sort of Bad Luck Brian-like quip. I'm actually a now-former caster for Z33k. While the events of the last few days have been surreal at the least, I wasn't present for them, plus I haven't been here all that long, so I haven't really felt the need to make an official statement/resignation. It is what it is, and I can't be party to it.

#1 He is a legitiment good player and deserves more attention #2 VeraLynn is a female player but with all do respect, for the love of Starcraft 2 WoL, she is not Scarlett. Scarlett is a great player and has the results to back it up which leads to... #3 If you need a coach for SC2 and you go for a player, regardless of gender, who is relatively unknown you need to think what you're getting into and the investments your making. If it were me, I'd be searching for the best coaching possible ESPECIALLY IF I'M GOING TO PAY! | ||

Fraudulent acts, immature behaviour, and reinforces female gamer stereotypes that excellent female gamers work hard to destroy. Ugh. DA is kinda funny though, my inner troll can't but help but laugh at his stupidity. | ||

I just felt like posting the most excessively misogynist post ever just for the hell of it. Then I realized it was probably going to be the only one to find it funny so I edited it out. This thread already being quite shitty isn't an excuse for making it even worse after all. | ||

I am a female gamer who actually trying hard to get to Master's (just got to Diamond a couple days ago) and stories like this really bring me down... Someone who I actually kind of looked up to is fake... using community like that.... for her own evil needs of attention of whatever she wanted.... P.S. Interview like this (18 minutes+) | ||

X= Gaming girl (not pro level, but girl) Y= Mediocre gaming team. There is nothing more sexist and hypocrite than those threads. And let's not forget those mods that warn and ban the posts criticizing this sexism. | ||

I contacted a website for a coach and was put in touch with Deathangel. However, instead of coaching, we discussed that he'd boost my account to Grandmasters to give me that initial boost to help me. Once it got to grandmasters, he continued to play the account for me regularly to keep bonus pool down/keep it active. While this happened, I put up a coaching profile to coach people. As I had never coached people, I did numerous hours of free coaching on my stream. This was known to Deathangel. While this happened, Deathangel continued to play the account and I tried to do some coaching etc. In total, I had 3 paid coaching students. Any feedback on coaching I received was from free coaching and NOT paid coaching. I have since refunded those students and apologise if it was not helpful. As people requested to see me stream, I asked Deathangel to stream on the account for me. He streamed regularly but charged $20-$30 an hour for each stream he did. Outside of streaming, each game that Deathangel played, he charged $3 per game, and as he regularly played for me, he did mini-discounts. When I was invited to play any event - Millenium Girl Tournament & AGL Invitational - that he played, he took the entire prize, which I have also refunded to the organisers - I am sorry for this being under false pretenses. I have refunded the money that I never received as I gave it to DeathAngel. We subsequently agreed to play Showmatches and he was very happy to do them - I gave him 100% of the prizes. I did not invoice SixPoolGaming for the showmatch against Sjow or Cytoplasm and so never received any money from them - However, I sent the relevant prize to DeathAngel immediately. I never received the MilleniumTV Tarson Showmatch money (yet), but I have already sent him the prize for that. The entire thing was a terrible idea, and I apologise to all people who were hurt by this. I am especially sorry to Z33K.TV and Z33K.Com as I grew the casting organisation with the casters and am sorry to leave it. Rifkin, Badfatpanda, Pengwin, and the rest - You guys were so close to me and this spiralled out of control. Z33K.TV grew to cast Dreamhack Valencia, TSL Qualifiers, Pokerstrategy.com League and run its own $1,000 Team league and If I had stopped it earlier, perhaps we could've continued on to grow it more - I apologise for misleading you like this. I am happy to step away from my position as head of Z33K.TV and will happily assist in any handover procedures necessary. I am also sorry to sixpoolgaming.com for any damage caused to their reputation - they are a great site and helped me so much and I apologise to them. What I have said here is 100% the truth from my perspective, and thus I do not intend to make any follow up posts regarding this - I am happy to step away from the Starcraft 2 Community in a professional capacity and bid you all farewell. This is your reply? | ||

Maybe it's not and DeathAngel is smurfing on her TLnet account? | ||

Just goes to show you shouldn't play with fire on the internet. They're trying to go that extra step that separates the top amateurs from the Professional. I can understand that, but you can't cheat even just a little bit. You'll get caught and then whatever reputation you may have had is now tarnished perhaps irreversibly. I'm happy the both of them at least came clean about it at least. I definitely understand where both of them are coming from also, and I even sympathize with DeathAngel a little. I mean, the dude is REALLY that good, his only crime was deceiving people into who he really was, there's been worse crimes committed and forgiven by more prominent members of the SC2 community, so I think in time his reputation will recover. But for now, they're both going to be very disliked. | ||

She bashed NA GM saying that it doesn't "count" and she goes on to say the girl tournaments are "easy" and that the people she beat to win were bad. She goes into length about how she drone rushed via nydus one girl.... How do you cheat to win and then act cocky about it? Listen from 22 minutes in..... it's pure ugliness. | ||
