He has one of the more enjoyable streams out there (and educational). He interacts with the chat, explains his play, etc. etc... Based on his stream, he seems like a really swell guy. GL Desrow

I laughed at the weight joke.

To the people arguing about weight, genetics does not play a role except in extremely rare cases where a gland isnt working properly. And even for them, thermodynamics still apply. Diet is everything, physical activity kind of matters but all put within the context of ones diet. To become of desrows size one must be in a big caloric surplus over several years. Of course the reasons for this are many and in the end its hard to blame someone for becoming fat, but it is entirely up to themselves to fix the issue.

Surprised by the move, I actually dont believe desrow has anything better going for him. I believe that he had issues with being on the team, to be honest.

I'm assuming he already received a better offer, makes no sense otherwise. I suppose his bringing in 1-2k viewers regularly nowadays is attractive.

I did appreciate the fat joke by the way. If people insist on being fat they should be able to handle those. Oh, and you can keep the "some people can't help being fat" comments for yourselves, let's suppose I already read them and took note.



wel they call obesity a disease now. so now fat people can whine that they can't do anything about it. cuz its a disease O_o. desrow was actually trying to lose weight. but i heard that over a year ago. not seeing much results.

GL to him!

To all the people saying that he can't do better than FXO-NA, FXO is cool but it's not like they pay him or send him to tournaments.

Not once has Desrow ever blamed his weight on other people or whined that he can't do anything about it. You have no idea what you're talking about, and most likely don't watch Desrow so of course you don't see results.

The "joke" was just being mean-spirited.

I find it unlikely he'll find a team as prestigious as FXO.NA anytime soon, but then again if he left on his own accord maybe he wasn't getting much from them anyway. Not really much to say about Desrow, he's just another "decent" NA pro (by NA standards). He was becoming a bit of a streaming monster towards the end of 2012 but that seems to have diminished now. I can see him doing well on a team like Complexity.

Holy shit, so many a-holes in this community.

I look as anorexic as an African villager and I eat all the garbage I want. It's genetics folks.

This is a damn shame. If aspiring top NA gms like Desrow who are constantly improving can't keep a team, it says something. My guess is it was probably contract related. They probably wanted to bump down his salary.

Best of luck finding a new team man.


You know that that is actually only true for less than one in 10.000.000 people? Most like you have no idea how many calories you consume and burn. Genetics in almost all cases do not play a significant role at all in your body weight.


More probable is this


I also dig the way you criticise! African villigar... classic!


1 in 10,000,000? No idea where you got that number but I'll blow your mind with some statistics with the note: Holy shit I never knew me and that other guy were so special. And just fyi, what he was talking about has to do with how fast your metabolism works which, in fact,is largely based on genetics. I mean there is even a medical field called metabolic genetics. If that doesn't sound like the hyperbolic time chamber then I dunno what does.


Yeah... I could eat an elephant and then have to worry about losing weight, while sitting on my ass. When I was younger, my best friend and I played sports all day, yet he was this 300 pound guy that was too big to even be allowed on the wrestling team. Since I practically lived at his house, we ate the same thing, yet I couldn't gain a pound if my life depended on it.

Hating on one's weight seems so shallow and weird to me. Everyone in the US is "fat" to me. In the US, if you're the "ideal" weight for your height, based on a doctor's chart, then usually you're the one getting made fun of... Plus, everyone wants us to be able to compete with Koreans. Foreigners have to stop being lazy. Need to grind out those 14 hours of practice.

If you don't have a fast metabolism and you're tasked with needing to compete with Koreans, then you're probably fucked either way.

Hmm even more negative comments here than on reddit, kinda disappointing.

Good luck desRow! You've been playing like a boss lately and I know you'll find a great new team.

Holy shit, it was a joke. The fact you guys turn it into some sort of a political debate is the reason we're not allowed jokes on TL anymore unless Rekrul posts them.

Anyway, good luck to des.

No... Energy conversion in biological system is way more complex than you think.
Not everyone who consumes a bottle of coke will gain 150 calories.
Not everyone who runs a mile will lose 300 calories.
There are people who easily gain weight due to their genetic make up, this is a simple fact.
They have to work harder to lose weight. Yes, life is unfair and it is true that it is up to them to put in the extra effort to stay fit in the modern society of developed world. However, saying genetics only apply in extremely rare cases is entirely wrong.

Fuck off bitch, fuck you.

Hah!



Edit: Also I had my numbers messed up, for endomorphs (people that tend to gain weight more easily) it is 1 in 10k not 1 in 10mill. Big fucking difference.... still none of you is one. AND STILL an endomorph can get rid of fat by living like a decent human being should.
Plus you can change your somatotype by changing your habits (GUESS WHAT: Exercise and diet).

So, what say you now captain "I defend those who can only suffer from defense"?

This guy must be a brofessor!

Why the fuck has this turned into a discussion on whether or not weight has anything to do with genetics?

desRow is fat. Everyone knows this. He knows this. If this were Sheth we were talking about, far less people would be defending the guy making the joke. desRow is actually quite open about it and acknowledges that it's something he needs to work on, and hopefully has been doing so with success. Cut out the personal attacks in irrelevant threads, this isn't Reddit.

It's true FXO.NA Doesn't pay players. FXO.NA Is a team focused on breading new NA talent. If Desrow can find a good team with a better support system like Jimrising and Drunkenboi have than the team is working as planned. I hope he does well for himself. It was nice getting to know him and I'll continue to cheer him on even though we're not team mates any more. GL Marc!
