Won't miss the guy. I was perma banned from his chat after questioning his decision to do something in a random ladder game. At the time, I had donated around $25 to him prior to the ban. When I messaged him on twitch explaining I had donated x amount of dollars already and meant no harm in chat, he insulted my grammar and said I'd have to pay him $200 for an unban.

Hope he's grown up since this occurrence, but GL regardless.

actually this is absolutely hilarious and makes me like him more if it happened

not sure what you want people to do with an unverifiable screenshot from a year and a half ago of a private conversation on twitch. kinda seems like you just want attention and to stir up drama

Whether you think it's verifiable or not, I couldn't care less. I'm posting regarding my experience with this individual and wishing them luck for the future. I highly doubt any drama will stir from it, considering several pros have already come forward in the past and spoken about his toxic personality.

How did Stephano manage to win tournaments without practicing a single minute? Everyone is different and some players are good and some players completely suck. Stephano was one of those players who never had to practiced and still raped the shit out of scrubs.

Stephano played a lot, when he "retired" and started playing part time, he couldn't win shit. "Stephano doesn't practice" is a myth.

It always baffles me when someone gives up their education to pursue one of the most unstable careers ever. Is it really worth the risk?


Depends on how you view yourself as a person.


I mean, let's not have illusions here, as a progamer you are a professional athlete or entertainer at best. If people are passionate about it enough to pursue it as a career all the powers to them through their trials and tribulations. But I'm not going to pretend like it's a career that produces more social worth or wealth than a career that can be pursued through college education. Obviously this is a gaming website so we tend to value it greatly and be very passionate about it, but I would never recommend giving up the potential of making a real difference in the world through medicine or engineering or any number of worthy crafts.

Not everyone lives their life like insurance analysts looking to minimize risk.

Strange that you think a $25 donation entitles you to anything. A random twitch guy 'questioning' a pro after a loss might catch a rage ban now and then. People get sensitive after losses and will often resent 'advice' from less skilled players/friends let alone twich chat randoms. Whining in a subsequent PM acting like he owes you some sort of special consideration over $25 wasn't going to win him over either.

I was involved in the SEA scene as he developed and never heard anything particularly bad regarding him. Just a talented, young kiwi trying to make it to the big time.

Never said a donation meant I was entitled to anything. I just brought it up to him to prove I meant no harm by the question in twitch chat about some in-game decision after a loss (which can often be misconstrued as sarcasm, etc.. over the internet). You're just trying to make me look like the bad guy, but it's fine if you're confused and misunderstood my point.

Yeah he was quite the BM guy back in the day when I was playing. He also bm'd my friend like a week or two ago (he crushed my friend was a 1 sided game) and I knew it was the real one when he asked me .
When I think of something else, something will go here
