As from MaximusBlack himself:



BTW, breakups are never mutual (someone has to start it). He's going to build his own 'brand', although I'm never completely sure of the effect he had on teams with his fanbase.

Well, he said it was started from his side and gave reasons. He seems to have sponsoring offers that comflict with Quantic's sponsors. Seems like a good reason.

Never really considered Black anything other than a content producer and personality. Good luck to him in the future.

It's good that he has a level head about this and doesn't really have high standards for himself as a player, but does so for his personality and brand. Not all famous or popular SC2 streamers and players need to be on a team or a member of an organization, and it's good to see that he is growing for himself and working hard towards improvement. GLHF.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I think MaximusBlack has shown that anything he puts his mind to, he will try his best to accomplish, and has accomplished so much thus far... I really look forward to what he brings forward with next..!

If you look to you right there is a streamer list. He streams almost every day as a featured streamer. I think that is the best way to learn more about him.

Liquipedia.

Also the other person (Novawar) doesn't enjoy actually playing SC2.

Also, good luck to MB.

Great for him, but it never really mattered. Whether he was with Quantic or not, he was doing the same thing and that's really it.

PS: he has a good voice, cool :B

He's a full time streamer who proxy stargates at a high master level, is constantly trying to improve, doesn't take himself too seriously as a personality, might actually be Jack Black, and is a pretty cool guy overall. He also streams other games you can find on his YouTube channel, his IWTBTG/IWTBTB are incredibly entertaining because he's rather, er, animated during them.
His friend NovaWar also streams a lot, and is slowly establishing his own fanbase, which you can check out here if you want.
I love the both of them, full homo, and wish them all the best in everything they do.

MaximusBlack ive watched you and your buddys show on youtube, its actually pretty freakin halraious. I love that you dont "PG" it down and say shit and fuck and make dick jokes, freakin halarious! Anyhow never knew that you were actually a pro but thats awesome. anyhow, keep up the good work you guys are really pretty entertaining and fun to watch.

one suggestion if i may. although i love the vast majority of ur content because it is halarious, however, that being said it wouldnt hurt to comment like some serious pro levelish games (you can still be urselfs of course) but occationally doing some more seious tourneyments/casts would be a nice addition i think.

Anyhow, GLGL. Hey did you know Spanishiwa when he was in Quantic, that guys a legend!
