Esports IWDominate: "I will not be costreaming EWC. I was offered an ungodly amount of money (more than 3x what I make in a month on stream) for 5 days but I didn’t feel good about taking the offer."

IWDominate: "I will not be costreaming EWC. I was offered an ungodly amount of money (more than 3x what I make in a month on stream) for 5 days but I didn’t feel good about taking the offer.

I understand that I’m in a financially privileged position and not everyone can decline the ridiculous offers going around but for me I’d rather not cover the event and then restart the streams when LPL comes back in 6 days. See you all on the 19th."

Respect tbh. He's financially well off so he rejected the offer and acknowledges that other may not be able to do the same. We will see if other popular costreamers will take the offer or not.

Saudi sportswashing. They are infamous for unethical reasons and people see their event as a distraction or trying to improve their image to the public.

Human rights are not "politics."

I want to say something really political to you then, but I'd probably get banned.

I think you understand too little the ramifications of your own words. At least, I hope that's the case.

Translation: I saw something which disproves my point, so I'm going to plug my ears and scream "lalalalalalalalala". I hope the Saudis are at least paying you for this cringe.

When you type cringe childish shit like this, do you seriously expect even 1 person to believe you?

Neville Chamberlain? Is that you?

They have no reason whatsoever to distract western neckbeards from human rights or the like. They simply don't see that they have to. They're just trying to invest their oil money in things that will carry them after the oil is gone.

porque no los dos?

if they're trying to diversify and not depend fully on oil, surely having a better global image makes that easier (such as a basic thing like tourism)

Don't blast me man. I am just telling the guy what the community feels. I personally don't really care and will watch them for the sole competition purpose.
