I thought that to be featured, you needed to be:
a) A player that is at a high level.
b) Someone with a lot of e-fame
c) Be entertaining

With over 2k viewers on his stream, regularly going over one thousand, and over 100k subscribers on youtube, he has a lot of e-fame, more than many many people!
For being at a high level, even though he has stopped for a while, he had won the reddit invitational and played White-ra, almost defeating him. For me, that is a pretty high level that very few people will ever attain. He may not be GM, but he plays them in most of his games.
That should be enough to be put into the featured section.
And everyone knows Psy is very comical, although his stream should be for 18+ :D

I c wat u did. Cute.

But really, he is active. He announced before that he wasn't, and now he's announced that he is [active]. Your allusion to his inactivity is invalid until he changes his mind about his activity. For now we can assume he IS active.

If that's how logic works, then I'd like to announce that I am an irresistibly handsome millionaire.

I can't stand it when people say things like "if that's how logic works". This wasn't some appeal to first-order logic--he was simply saying that Psy intends to remain active. While it may be possible to doubt whether he will actually do so, it seems pretty unlikely that he will just "stop" without any warning, and it seems pretty clear that Psy's intentions are to keep this going.

I'm not even sure why I'm getting into this, but your analogy is irrelevant because (assuming you're not an irresistibly handsome millionaire) it's something over which you have little or no control. Saying "I'm a millionaire" is very different from saying "I intend to walk the dog tomorrow". It's good to be skeptical, but I don't really see any good reasons in this case. Hopefully psy's stream will be featured in the next week or so--that would be really great, and I think he definitely deserves it.

He's obviously backed up his words. He said he's now active, and he's followed up by being active. How was that not implied? I didn't mean to just randomly suggest that what people say = truth. His actions follow his words. He says "active", he plays. Sort of like how a couple weeks ago he said "inactive" and didn't play. Simple honesty + logic. Any other trickery/trollage?

It was implied, I was just trolling you. I thought that was implied as well.

I'm pretty sure he's featured; he said so on one of his youtube vids.

I saw myself on the bottom of the featured streams list even though I had higher viewers than other channels. This was only a few days ago too, but yesterday (Monday) I wasn't on the list at all

Please don't do another cast like that again. Your fans still believe that you're a good player, don't let the losses get to you. Yes, zerg is the weakest, most unforgiving race right now, but there's not a lot that can be done short of Blizzard intervention. The best things for the zerg community as a whole right now are good players that the weaker players can idolize. You're one of those good players. Please, just be calm and play some more games like you used to. I'm sure that nobody watching the stream will care if you lose some of them. Everybody does. Just barrel through them with the Psystarcraft sense of humor that your fans have grown to love. Of course, this is assuming you still want to play the game. Everyone has the bad nights where they start to hate it, but if as a whole you just can't stand laddering anymore, that's fine. Take a break from ladder. Stream custom games. Play monobattles. Play 4v4s. Play "Don't Move Your Thor". Do something fun. People watch your stream for you, not to see 2 straight hours of zerg 1v1s with no personality. There's Idra's stream for that.

How can you even put Idra and "no personality" in the same sentence? I'm no fanboy at all, but that is probably the most wrong thing I have ever read here.

Psy is probably the reason I started to play SC2 in the first place. Awesome, Psy. Stream more!
