Do you have some kind of impairment or deficiency that prevents you from understanding what you read?
TB was not talking about his particular case as a SC2 caster, or IdrA's case, or even SC2 casters in general, he was responding to MadJack who put forth the hypothetical scenario of working a 12 hour day, 6 days a week for 2 months for the salary of $2k.

Thank you for all the entertainment. GL in school.
|
lmao... The lack of fucks given in this goodbye statement is wonderful. Leaving the scene the same way you lived in it. If you ever end up streaming other games I'll be there cheering you on! Good luck with life, Idra!
|
GL Greg! always enjoyed your company
|
not streaming any other game!?!? i thought for sure yourself, Destiny, and CatZ were forming a "heroes of the storm" team. Best of luck idra!
|
Thanks for all the games and good luck in school! I hope we will see you again in the future.
|
Goodbye and good luck, IdrA. You were the one making me start following professional StarCraft 2 (and then started learning to enjoy Starcraft: Broodwar too). Thanks for so many good moments back in the day.
From someone who stayed up till 6AM to watch your MLG runs and had many heart attacks back in those days because of you.
|
Godspeed, Idra. Hope everything goes well for you.
|
Sounds reasonable, hope everything works out for you
|
GL Greg, all the best mate. You've been a great part of SC and you obviously have a good brain so just quit gaming and focus fully on studying.
|
Best wishes to you IdrA. Good luck with school and life. Thanks for all the good times.
|
Have some great memories of watching you play. Good luck in the future Greg

I know he is not talking about his case, but it's absurd to cry about revenues as a caster, since casters can do so much more in their free time when there are no tournaments to receive additional revenues.
And yeah I understand MadJack, there are many people that work 8-10 hours a day, and earn a lot less then $2k/month.
P.S I see you are from Eastern Europe master, I wonder how much you earn/month? 2000 $ / month working as a caster is a very good monthly revenue for most.

Thanks for everything Greg, good luck to you
|
It's a sad day for Starcraft. Good luck to you, IdrA. Thanks for the memories!

Who is crying about revenues as a caster? TB was simply explaining the reality that even if you, as a not-top caster, would accept to work for that kind of money, there isn't even enough work that you could get. How is this so difficult to understand?

Bear in mind living costs and prices in general are also much much higher in the West. ;p

That's completely understandable, good luck with school and onwards! I do hope that we see more from you some time in the future competitive gaming though.

Why would a caster only focus on casting? If there isn't enough potential work, they should try to focus on something else to increase their revenues.
And I doubt there isn't enough work for Idra in this field.
