I think he's good enough to get on a team like coL, Clarity, or the new team SMi now. I used to watch his stream every day and all day until he stopped, but now I'm a LoL druggie. I still tune in once in a while though. He honestly deserves a position on a paying team.  | ||

I laughed at the joke to. He could have made it better though. I mean, that's why his name is desRow and not desSeat. | ||

He used to "coach" the community and cast community replays or something like that, and he was just laughing at the guy's play. Was not impressed. | ||

I second this notion that entitlement is not the way we should go about things. Look at idra as a fine example of someone who was 'entitled" due to his past and received pay. Not only did he not provide results after the initial 6-9 months of sc2's release he completely fell off the map. Desrow has no real noteworthy results in his past and is just another "streamer" on twitch that is it. Players who perform well and provide results such as an innovation,MVP or Flash should be getting paid because they earned it. Desrow still has a long ways to go before he is placing high in any GSL or MLG to earn pay. | ||

Desrow is far from entitled. You're talking about someone who flew half way around the world multiple times just to find good practice (Poland,Korea). You're talking about a guy who practices HARD everyday and built his fan base from the bottom up. I'm not even a big fan and I know this... You say he's just a "streamer" which is damn right insulting. He's a player foremost and a streamer and personality second. The problem is the sc2 scene isn't big enough for people who aren't at the very top to get paid well. So they do whatever they can (stream, coach etc). People like you aren't hoping the scene grow with your negativity. NA will never have a chance if we shit on everyone. | ||

There is a reason for all these negativity. | ||

He isn't a young guy anymore by game standards, and he was never so successful that he could necessarily coach effectively; not to mention he has shown he doesn't exactly have the personality for it. I'm confused where he goes from here. As long as the viewers/ad revenue are supplementing his income he can probably continue to stream indefinitely even though his competitive results may be lacking. I mean, Destiny is not making a dent in either SC2 or LoL right now but he's still getting enough viewers to make some sort of living and I think that's all that counts for him. Of course, desrow's numbers are nowhere near Destiny's. But he's still getting adequete numbers. We'll see if he can maintain that in another year or so.. | ||
