Who will fill the void?


Well, there are a fair number of people. There'll probably be a few others popping up, but there are plenty of people doing shows now.

You want a Pro Corner? Well, there's a Breaking Out.

Looking for Climbing the Ladder? How does Remax sound? No? What about Inside the Game? Or once in a while, maybe some Meta?

Want some Unfiltered? Well, there's a Live On Three for that.

Maybe you're looking for Hearthstone, missing Value Town and Deck Wars. Well, there's Turn2 and all manners of Kings of various Hills.

It's a tribute to Chanman's creativity, dedication, and unbelievable work ethic that this many people and shows are all just filling one person's void. But we, as a community, will do what we've done with anything else we've lost: We'll compensate for it. We'll find new great shows, hosted by other great people. And we'll remember how great a contribution were made by people like Chanman.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Sad to see anyone in the scene who puts so much effort into his work go... now to wait and see who takes his spot.

Always loved Chanman and his genuineness on his shows. His consistency was always admired too. Have fun with your family!

Seriously the most depressing news for me personally all month.

Can we pay ChanmanV 100 dollars/show or something?

I mean 3K people watches it. If all of us just pitch in 1 dollar per week.....

There's always Patreon for that...........

Quick Chanman, start up a Patreon!

Pity. He's been a great source of content across many games for quite a few years. But, of course, as he's quickly approaching 40, he may just have other priorities now.

Either way, he will be dearly and sorely missed by the community.


He's almost 40? Wow. As an Asian myself, I definitely hope I can look/sound like I'm still in my late 20s when I'm almost 40.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

My personal opinion is, he was never a good host. He just didn't have the charisma and knowledge that a good host needs. I never enjoyed watching his shows, facepalming at so many of his comments. Didn't care much about his reddit bots either, that just showed he was really desperate for getting attention, which I think was the main reason for making his shows. When the hater community slowly grew and chat was spammed by "FailFish" more than constructive comments, I think he acknowledged it was not worth it running the shows anymore.

WOW I cannot believe how much negativity there is in these comments. Thanks for Unfiltered Chanman, it was extremely entertaining and a great source of info for a whole variety of games! You will be sorely missed!

Chris if you're reading this, thanks for your contributions to the community man. I was just thinking yesterday about how I miss climbing the ladder. Enjoy spending time with your family! Hope we continue to see you around as part of this big esports family as well!

People, you deserve to be honest but... do you ever think before you type? I mean its no wonder the game died if everyone in the community gets shit on, I think there's more tactful ways to say good bye then 'thats okay he sucked anyway'. Back in 2010 we could be cavalier with our words because there was a nonstop stream of fresh meat but I can't see people wanting to enter this community to refresh it if thats the treatment they get.

Chris - I've seen every Unfiltered and it has helped my work commute immensely. Thank you so much for your work from the bottom of my heart, and I will miss you. =(

This game is dieing and its very sad. Personalities like this are rare and few between, but it's hard playing a game that offers nothing to anyone.

he said hes retiring to spend time with family and hes a grown man but ok lol keep being one of those people who has to inject "dead game" into every thread

Didn't say it was dead, just that it was dieing, and there is a reason that "dead game" is used in every thread.

So sad, I'll miss you ChanmanV. Good luck in the future!
But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

dude produced free content which people enjoyed. ill never understand why people have to shit on things just because theyre outside their interest. i guess it makes small people feel big to destroy sources of joy for others

as for twitch botting, who fucking cares. if the dude had tools at his disposal to increase his success and he used them, fine. if it's not unlawful then he can do what he wants

I only watched him a couple times, but he was definitely a positive influence in the community. His shows were really well done too. Best of luck to him.

it wasnt about the money.. he just had no time for his personal life and wasnt happy anymore because he missed alot of things in his family (at least that's what i understood from his statement); he was basically to busy with his work and had no time to relax
Is this real Life? No, it's StartaleLife!!!
