My statement on Gera Cup's end

Русская версия: https://vk.com/yesitshappy?w=wall-97914992_12461



English version:

For those, who dont know - seems like, Gera Cup held on last week, was the last one.



Here's the quote from GERA: "I decided to stop supporting WC3, after inactivity of HawK, and, most importanly, after Happy decided not to go to GCS. After that i understood, that nobody needs this. So, after that moment, i havent seen any game, dont even remember when i've watched Gera Cup last time"



What can i say about this .. Its sad, on the other hand, alot of people forget, that nothing lasts forever.



Sooner or later, GERA Cup series would end, because, it basically was only existing due to financial support (to be more precise - motivation to play, because without prize, its rather some fun-games, than a tournament with strong players) was done by one man (not a sponsor or a company, but a single person, that had personal interest in it). He could just get bored from it, or, anything could have happend, any moment, and cup would be no more.



I'm, honestly, really surprised and shocked about this: "after Happy decided not to go to GCS. After that i understood, that nobody needs this. I have a "dejavu" feeling, like, i owe something to someone.



Interesting. Following GERA's logic, if i didnt started playing Gera Cup's - then, he would have stopped supporting the cup, as soon as Hawk stopped having an ability (!) to at least get into QuarterFinal of Gera Cup? :d



I am, indeed, do not need this (GCS, and other tournaments altogether), i dont know, what community needs ..



I made it clear long ago, what am i doing in the last 1.5 years. If i wanted to play professionaly, i would not be streaming. I would silently play, and, believe me, i would have won the qualifiers - and go there.



Only one reason, why I am playing tournaments - extra (well, not really extra ..) income. Needless to say, i am an honest person, everyone knows that - Warcraft, and, even more importantly - games on that Chinese server (NetEase) with ping 200 + almost every day - i am really sick of it, literally. Everyone who watches me for last months, see (hear / whatever) it - i only do it, because there is certain demand for it (donations, etc).



I would REALLY love to not take part in any tournaments (not necessary Gera Cup), and, i would not be playing Warcraft (at least, not every day), and would certainly not be being masochistic playing with shit conditions on Chinese server ..



But i wrote about it more than a year ago (in russian, so, considering its a translation, it could be some "news" for you) = nobody needs this. When i actually tried real hard to stream every day some sort of different stuff (not necessary WC3) - with commentary (for ENTIRE and EVERY single day), paid attention to everyone (troll/not troll = doesnt matter) and wasnt thinking too much about money - nobody gave a fuck. Usually, all i was getting - spit in my face (flames, trolling, etc).



I'm just trying to make as much money, as possible, untill I'm able to. So, reading such bullshit (cant call it otherwise) - is just hillarious. Maybe, i owe something to someone, because i won 40 (?) Gera Cup's?



ALL, that i won (and, to say more, earned/got in my life) - is a result of mine, and ONLY mine hard work.



So, overall, its sad that Gera Cup's are no more, but it was inevitable.



I'm, ofcourse, twice sad (obviously, due to missed income). I said many times (again, in russian) that with every month, it gets even harder to "surprise/provide" (lesser donations), and, overall, just keep the usual stuff (people are not having enough, when you win like 80%+ of all online tournaments) going.



Maybe, its actually for the best, because, for the last 6 months, i have a feeling, that, from the usual stuff that I'm having (china-china-china-china-gera-china-china-china) something "bad" will happen to me.
