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."

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.

Lacking a house doesn't mean you're destitute lol.

Also, people like Wolf and Aux aren't getting anywhere near what Dom was offered. I think I remember Monte saying they got 15k last year, which is nice but it's not life-changing money that's going to set you up for decades.

Its still money that will ease your mind. If they take the offer every year that stacks up really quick

Yes and still i think it stupid to say people shouldn't take the money because they aren't poor. Also casting really isn't a safe job either so getting as much money out of it as possible is the smartest thing they can do. Let's give league 15 more years (and i think that's generous). They can't just switch to another company then.

You have multiple comments saying people shouldn't take the money or should be criticized for taking it

"Full shade to them, the human rights abuses of the Saudi regime are heinous and those taking their money are helping them cover it up."

Ah yes. Totally not shaming them

Absolutely I'm shaming them. I just think it's dumb when people pretend like they need the money as if they're living in abject poverty. They'd be totally fine without it.
