So...your solution to streamer hate is basically to preempt it with hate of your own?

Post history tells you everything you need to know.

A fair point. Entirely too much effort, however.

I doubt he will have access to the Scion given that Ziggy will be announcing it at the end of the Week.

Kripp said he can't be a "no_lifers" anymore. To people who don't know his twitch name nl_kripp the nl part means No Life.

Kripp started playing games for like 16 hours a day and his viewers liked him for that, and he has many world first achievements in World of Warcraft, Diablo 3 and have made some of the most overpowered broken builds in PoE (that's so briken that GGG nerfs them so quickly every time). He was teaching PoE mechanics before PoE had a wiki site, yea that's before poe.trade and all that bullshit.

Then one day he said he burned out and said he want to take a break from poe for a month or two started to play all kinds different games and just kinda never returned to PoE because he met his girlfriend and moved oversea for her... Kripp finally kinda settled on hearthstone where he said it's so casual and there's tons of fun for him... which his few thousand or so viewers became like 30,000+... so yea...

He had a long distance relationship and all that stuff with a real human girlfriend that most of you probably have never touched.

Even tho he doesn't play PoE anymore, he still helps promoting PoE for GGG for free at his own cost (He loses like 20k concurrent viewers every time he plays PoE). He's a cool guy really and people like to watch him get all salty and shit when rng rekts him and he gets totally owned lol.

He's one of the most popular hearthstone streamer with the shortest daily stream time (usually 5 to 6 hours). Also people like him because he rarely sellout and he could be making so much more than he makes rightnow but he simply doesn't care, and he will not play a game if he's not having fun, and he will sometimes trash talk his viewers when they pressure him into games he doesn't like.

It just sounds stupid to invite Kripp, who will play it only for a few hours and hasn't played it for ages.

Well, i find it insulting that they give previews and alpha access to somebody that plays 1hour each 6 months

while there are people that have been devoting all their time to POE, making guides and trying to break it down and yet they arent even alpha
