>Smasher PPMD left the community after Apex 2015 because he "didn't feel right"
>told his fans he's going to take a break and see what's wrong
>over half a year goes by, and nothing
>a little later they think it's low testosterone and that after his treatment, he'll be ready to go in a few months
>fast forward to a year and a half later
>nothing
>on twitter everyday telling people "I'm getting better!" for over 2 years
>he recently got his contract renewed with EG, which offers salaried deals
>he's done with the game, but wants to coast off the money from his sponsors, so everyday he says "almost better" to keep people hopeful

And people still suck his cock EVERYDAY.

So he's the spoony of the smash scene?

Basically.

*3-0's you*

PPMD probably has a real job now. Competitive melee is garbage money unless your name is Armada,Mango, or Hbox.

You mean 3-2s into a bracket reset and then wins a 3-2.

>>381014002
This. I looked this faggot up because i'm not gay enough to know who he is already, and he made 30,000 in winnings, total. lmao

There really is no place for people who compete in a game that's not even supported by the company that made it.

>>381015325

you know pro gamers don't live off winnings right? They're salaried professionals.

Just because you don't approve of what they do for a living doesn't change the definition of a word

>>381015462
Even then you could probably learn a trade and make a better living with 1/20th of the effort. Only CS,DOTA,and LoL are worth going pro if money is a concern.

>>381017125
As a plumber. I gotta say there's alot of dipshits who can't handle the physical demand of trades

>"le sick people are parasites!" meme

you're disgusting, what do you want to euthanize him?

He should unplug his controller at life

>>381017125
Yeah, money isn't really a selling point for most competitive pro gamers. It's usually their love for the game.

>>381018376
That isn't strictly true; look at people who played 'pro' HotS when Blizzard was throwing money around to entice people. Pros from other mobas stuck around long enough to milk easy money at a casual game and then didn't play it at all when the money dried up. Why do you think they have to incentivize Overwatch shit to get people to play HotS now?

>>381014002
But PP was better than Mango at his peak

>>381017313
If you can work, but don't, you are a parasite.

>>381014002
If you are good enough to get sponsored and stream you are fine
It's not like you would be rich but you get to play the game you love and be live decently.

>>381012703

>Implying anyne on /v/ has accomplished as much as PP has

>>381013180
eh if his doctors were full of shit then he'd be off EG in a second. Really PPMD Kreygasm is what's keeping him afloat but at this point I don't disbelieve he was seriously ill at least at some point.
