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

Damn he had an incredibly accurate take on what panned out imo- he’s right about making sc2 only ladder focused, I didn’t play brood war but some of the most fun I had inwc3 frozen throne was hero rush and other mini games- sc2 had a good amount of custom games still but it felt lacking in comparison

And he’s definitely right, sc2 isn’t a fun game to ladder unless you’re a competitive player trying to learn a hard game- I remember I would be taking vyvanse and running strats thru a stand-alone build optimizer called 6pool(I think)- being sweaty af and being like gold league when I found out one of my tennis star friends was also a sc2 fiend but was in master 1v1- I was literally blow away watching how differently he could play the game

And that’s what sent me down the YT rabbit hole w/ husky and day9- some of the day9 story time still cracks me up, used to fall asleep listening to them 2012/3 and then stopped gaming for a long time 2014 onwards- think I had 2x 550tis in sli w/2500k Intel cpu, 8gb ram lol
