He has little interaction with them and I don't think he's paid (at leat not a full time salary). | ||

You just have to see how many people left right after Lwl left/got fired (don't know exactly which way it went) to see who was respected on Millenium and who was not. | ||

Remy is a great guy, and I'm interested to see what his new project is. I'm going to school and have only played casually for a while now :p. well best of luck all the same :D | ||

I mean even in the early 2000's when a friend was playing wc3 he got ~400eu/month with a german team, just being a semi pro with no visibility. HeroMarine is probably worth a lot more these days. Even if he is not full time. For cs 1.6 me and my time had more or less the same amount, and few accessories + what we could grab on LAN. I imagine it is far way more confortable for a real pro in 2016. | ||

Nope since it has been confirmed by Blizz that next to years it will stay competitive. I wish there was less cusual oriented players tbh.. not in term that ppl should leave, but more people with competitive mindset. | ||

I wish there was less cusual oriented players tbh.. not in term that ppl should leave, but more people with competitive mindset. I feel like this is a tough balance to strike - because while competitive games definitely have their place, and are extremely enjoyable, if it's too competitive, nobody will want to play. People enjoy winning, and I feel like a lot of video games cater to this mindset. Out of the games that are currently popular & competitive, you see a lot of team oriented play. This allows a lot of people to hide their own faults & missteps behind teammates (*I* played fine, if only my 4 teammates hadn't sucked) - whereas SC (in 1v1) focuses on your own misgivings and mistakes. Starcraft is a brutally unforgiving game, and it takes a hell of a mindset to get into a place where you can play it, let alone continue to cultivate an audience to watch it, which, let's be honest, is an incredibly important piece of this puzzle. You're more likely to have engaged audience members when you have a broad playerbase. That's part of what drives LoL and DOTA viewership numbers - the fact that the game is extremely accessible, and a lot of people know how to play (from casual to pro). | ||

Llewellys is a monster of E-sport in France. Fact is, there has been a lot of clash between him & the management of Millenium. He already lost some of his work earlier in the year. Millenium has awell known tradition of putting people into boring activities until they leave, cutting them from what they like to do. They did this to him. Problem: almost every one in Millenium's roaster & caster has a deep respect for him. So... the Millenium's e-sport is falling apart. So nothing to do with O'gaming, or nothing I'm aware of and nothing in the A.A.A.'s article. | ||

So if I get this right, there was a guy which was cool and kept teams together and around Millenium, and than buck of d*cks just cut him off and with the lack of support from the management and lack of interest ppl just left? | ||

Afaik the HS roster, plus at least showtime for sc2, are leaving so they can stick with him within another structure, which will be announced on Jan 1st. But yes Llewellys was the most respected, and respectable imo, guy out there at Millenium. He put in a lot of work for 7 years now, he was the guy who built the sc2 team back then with Stephano, Tarson, DieStar... and was behind all recruitements since then I believe. | ||

Yes. Basically Millenium has been bought by Webedia, which have lately also bought the biggest videogame website (jeuxvideo.com) and movies website (allociné). In both cases they cut the staff by half, reoriented the news to generate more ad revenues... It's kinda the cancer of website in France to be honest. | ||

Lots of people left before because they weren't fond of Lwl (Bob, Tweekz for exemple). It just proves that the situation is more complicated than that  . But I've always loved Lewellys for what he has done for the scene. This guy had faith. He even once said that lol and cs wouldn't work because SC2 would crush them. | ||

We were also defrayed for LANs (travelling, lodging) but that's it. GL to Lwl he's a great guy, I personally never liked Millenium much | ||
