400$ was recieved in early january for december through western union. The rest however wasn't. You can also see that he says from the beginning of the month. As normally i'd be payed by the 5th.

Ah thx for clarifying. Is it true that you asked them to take down the "proof" on their website?

Gl in life HTOMario, it came down to me many years ago, but in other game. Have no regrets and enjoy your family.

By the way, this thread contains the most stupid and childish justifications to be a prick to somebody, throwing the rock and then trying to hide the hand.

sry wtf ?
he is by far the best mech player out there like 100 times better then avilo, plays mech even vs protoss his stream was the best mech stream ever and its the hugest retirement for a mech terran watcher that ever happenend so plz hold your bs for urself

He might have been better than avilo, but I´m fairly sure, that he was not the best mech player out there. I mean accodring to Aligulac, GoOdy for example has 250 points more and roughly 1000 times his earnings.

Strelok's also a pretty good mech player. ;p

Do take our stats on earnings with a pinch of salt though as they are sadly incomplete.

Still the best source for that out there, afaik. Also the direction is pretty obivous, regardless, whether there is something small missing or not.

Sure Strelok is also pretty good, I said, that I think, that Strelok is the best foreign mech player on page 4 or 5. I just took GoOdy as an example here, because 1000 is such a nice number.

400$ was recieved in early january for december through western union. The rest however wasn't. You can also see that he says from the beginning of the month. As normally i'd be payed by the 5th.

400 a month, thats pretty good pay :o

you can't live on $400 a month though lol. Given, that's not what the purpose of his post was XD I was surprised to see that LYGF had such a huge roster last I checked(recent signing) and wondered how they managed to keep such a large roster. I guess there was some finance problems behind the scene(at least in the last month or two). Either way, best of luck HTOMario! Hope things work out whichever direction you go in


I sure as hell could

I don't know what it's like in the US but rent itself up here is easily $600 if shared with a roommate. $400 for food and utilities is doable but not if you include rent which was my point.

Easily 600 huh? I'm renting by university of victoria for 400 with high speed internet, laundry, everything. These places are findable if you're willing to live in a closet. It's always going to be easier for the younger generation to chase that dream.

are you sharing with anyone? that plays a role. I was talking about a single roommate. If there's several, then I can see why it gets cut down to that much although I think location is the main reason it's pretty cheap for you. Anyways, probably not the best place to discuss this lol
