So many people wrong in this thread, including OP + the title.

This streamer pretty much always talks this way (like it or not, it's on purpose and it's what gets him his views) and also often does it with his parents nearby. They laugh about it. His mom even plays the game as well. She doesn't look at him with disgust, she even smiles a second later before she walks off. To get food btw. She comes back a few minutes later with the food.

I mean, it's a pretty well documented fact that a big wallet overcomes a LOT of traditional obstacles in getting laid for men.

I don't think that has been tested on a person that lives at home at 23 though. Could make a difference maybe!

 

[Shredderi]

the barrier to entry for a gentleman as the one in the OP to be swimming in a sea of ladies is a lot higher than a similarly financed gentleman who is not like the one in the OP

Yes it is. Absolutely. I'm not comparing to similarly financed men though.

I don't think that has been tested on a person that lives at home at 23 though. Could make a difference maybe!

You would be naive to think it wouldn't make a difference tbh. If you're an ordinary nerd but then become a millionaire, a whole new world opens up for you.

loool, amazing

 

[Nista]

Yeah, it's stuff like this that makes me not bother watching LoL streamers in solo queue. I enjoy watching the pro matches, but that's cause OGN/Riot tries to keep the worst of the twitch nonsense out of the broadcasts.

It is a problem for esports going more "mainstream" if their players act like the goofy teenagers they are without consequence.

Maybe he lives in San Fransisco :> I'm not defending the guy's behaviour. I don't especially like him. I guess I'm just not hopping on this particular bandwagon.

 

[daviyoung]

then why are you bringing money into it?

 

[OldMan]

How professional

 

[DavidDesu]

Well that's a new one on me.

 

[killatopak]

Oh, second? So first place losers?

You seem mad.

I'm incredibly confused how you downplay that even the fact that they made quarters in worlds.

Poster I was replying to said Cloud 9 haven't even placed anything higher than 3rd. I said just some facts.

Oh and IIRC Cloud 9 won best e-sports team this year. TBF it spans the multitude of games they play in and not just League.

 

[Kayhan]

that "virgin" is a pro player for league of legends and makes millions and has probably had more pussy than you could imagine

This post is funnier than the video.

 

[Shredderi]

then why are you bringing money into it?

What do you mean? People were saying stuff like he's a virgin etc. I know it's all in good fun and stuff, it's not serious. Someone pointed out that he is rich and if that is true then no matter how much people would like for this guy to not get laid because they find him unlikable, he propably can get laid very very easily just for having a lot of money.

This applies outside this particular case as well. I wish I had a lot of money.

Locker.

Room.

Talk.

and I'm saying that based on the evidence presented I highly doubt he has the kind of money required to counter-act everything else

With your mom being in said locker room... Wait what?

One day this guy will look back on these videos and cringe harder than you'd think possible.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

maybe that wasn't his mom, but his trophy wife!

Hahahahaha!!

 

[Shredderi]

And if that's the case then yeah I'm with you. But like I said, the whole thing does apply outside this particular case. I mean that's ancient knowledge and everyone knows it.

Hahahahaha!!

I always wonder what were the contexts of these name tags.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

That's a thing people say?

Am I crazy or is everyone ignoring this was clearly staged?

lol. Fucking Memeos.

Your mind is getting stretching out like a pussy right now

 

[DjRalford]

How old are you kiddo?

34, you?

 

[Subtle]

just fyi, most league pro players go back home to their parent's house during the off season, then move back to LA where they live with their team for 3/4s of the year. the guy isn't living with his parents all the time.

 

[vikki]

I'm not sure how much money this Meteos guy is worth, I'm sure he makes better money being a streamer, but according to the internet he he's only made 122k in winnings the 4/5 years he's been a pro esports player. That ain't much. Is this guy really raking in the dough?

there's a lot to consider though. Stream money, sponsorship heck one of his teammates has their own cologne line, and player allowance.

 

[ESBL]

Well......that's just awkward.

 

[faridmon]

Its Meteos

He talks shit and even he and his mum know that. He is at his mums because of the holidays, and his mum even plays the game with him.

He earns millions and gets pussies, but no, this is thread, as usual, is full of people who drive posts just to sound ''mature''

Most of these Pros, earn most of their money of streaming, sponsorship, etc...

Tourney games earns you zilch in LoL

He's consistently in the top ten streamers on Twitch, though if I remember right he streams less with a smaller userbase than a few other League players (including his teammate, Sneaky, and retired pros IMQTPie and Dyrus). I know QTPie gets along entirely off streaming, and Dyrus has continued to stream in retirement despite obviously having other avenues available, so I'm guessing the money they make is comparable to or better than earnings from prizes.

He's also fully salaried, though the salary by itself for League pros isn't amazing.

I mean, I doubt he even got a full split of that 122k, since he's been in and out of positions and even active play rotation on the team. It probably accounts for less than a fifth of his total taxable income over that period.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

A lot of angry virgins on this cold winter Sunday.

You don't have to be a virgin to take issue with people defining someone by how much sex they've had. Shit is just as childish as the behavior in the video.

I can enjoy some Twitch memes from time to time but Twitch chat is literally this,

Everyone is tripping over themselves spamming dumb stuff.

What's his GAF username?

I think you might actually be giving twitch chat too much credit. I think a lot of them aren't pretending.

 

[Spikematic]

WTF does that even mean? My pussy is getting stretched...? What a fucking bizarre thing to say. Or is it a common expression? Am I out of touch?! Maybe I'm just too old for this shit.... *unbookmarks Twitch*

It reminds me of the original Trollface comic.

Anyone know if the money in streaming is comparable to that of YouTube. Could they be making that Ryan's Toy Review money or is the ad revenue not that great for live services?

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Is this anime?

 

[Fracas]

this is a weird thread

Idk if this makes it even weirder.....but gotta get those twitch monies.

[Imperfected]

Anyone know if the money in streaming is comparable to that of YouTube. Could they be making that Ryan's Toy Review money or is the ad revenue not that great for live services?

It's dependent on a few factors:

1. Subscriptions. This is actually a fairly large revenue stream, especially since Amazon Prime started giving all participants one "free" sub per month. The streamer doesn't get the full profit off it, generally; how much they get is based on their personal partnership contract with Twitch, though as far as I know they always get at least $3 per sub.

2. Donations. This can be a surprisingly large revenue stream for the large audience streamers like Meteos. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has just tracked a streamer's donations over a month's period and summed it up, since it's basically publicly-available (almost all streamers have an on-stream notification when someone donates), less a percentage for PayPal (both in terms of the cut they take, and the assumption of some charge-backs happening).

3. Ad-Roll. Twitch streamers actually decide for themselves how often they want to roll ads, rather than YouTube doing that for them. So, how much money they make off ad-roll actually depends directly on how often they decide to run ads.

As a result--and because Twitch doesn't like partners discussing their contracts--it's hard to say definitively that a streamer with audience size X makes roughly Y amount of money, though even just by tracking the more easily-estimated revenue streams (sub numbers are public, and like I said, donations are trackable) you're probably going to get a pretty robust number for the top streamers.

That said, keep in mind that most pro players don't pull in this large of an audience. As I've said in this thread, Meteos pulls in viewers as much or more based on his personality as an entertainer compared to his gameplay. There's a dozen players better than him in NA alone that don't have as large of an audience, to say nothing for regions with comparable or even better players but less audience interest (hi EU).

Money generally doesn't come from the ad revenue but from the donations you get. It's easily at least 6 digits when you're a popular streamer.

 

[dh4niel]

Dude needs a more chill mom to play games around like this guy.

That's a cool Mum right there.

 

[Talents]

Basically what imperfected said. The top streamers make a lot of money though. For example, imaqtpie is the top LoL streamer and he makes $2,000,000+ a year atm.

 

[jstripes]

Live streaming is one of those cultures I'm glad I missed out on.

Wow.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

this thread was more embarassing to read than the reddit thread on the same clip. yikes.

His humour certainly appeals to a certain demographic.

I'm incredibly confused how you downplay that even the fact that they made quarters in worlds.

Poster I was replying to said Cloud 9 haven't even placed anything higher than 3rd. I said just some facts.

Oh and IIRC Cloud 9 won best e-sports team this year. TBF it spans the multitude of games they play in and not just League.

What would I be mad at?

That's adorable.
