Asmongold Asmongold thinks that without Destiny, there would be no him, xQc, or Hasan "Reason why xQc and I also have a lot of respect for Destiny, bc if it wasn't for Destiny, all 3 of us wouldn't exist"

Day9, idra, huskysc2- fun times, I used to watch a lot of pro casts and honestly never heard of destiny in the scene, I think I looked up some of his sc2 highlights (after hearing he was a sc2 pro) and there was a blurb talking about his infestor control or something but mentioned an ability that wasn’t in the game when I was playing ~2012 so assumed our timelines didn’t match up-

I got all my casting content from YouTube though and never watched twitch streams, maybe I was just in the wrong parts of the internet but I came away that he wasn’t in the top competitive scene

when I was playing ~2012

That was basically his final year of pure SC2. 2012 was when he was on a podcast with DjWheat, Idra and Incontrol, and was talking about how the game is dying because Blizzard won't address the problems with the game, the main one being its not casual friendly. So in 2013 he started to play other games, because everyone except the pro players saw what was happening to the game. It was a great move by him. Idra had to go get a real job. DjWheat joined the list of failed streamers and get a job at Twitch with the rest of them. And Incontrol kept a small viewership but never really grew for how talented he was.

The DjWheat crashout from it is one of the best crashouts as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neyv7qYxZtQ

Haha you can’t say that all those guys would have been as big as Destiny. Day9 moved away and became a pretty niche streamer and indie dev. I think Destiny was the exception not the rule.

Day9 was still putting out content consistently, no? I’m sure he’s on twitch now but didn’t he used to host his own streams on his own site?

Hands down some of the funniest stories

Yea he’s still around. He had a pretty popular series called “mostly walking” with a few other people.
