i waste alot of time on youtube, and he is the funniest person on youtube out of the big name contributors.

also, if he said wow takes more skill than poker: i gues sit depends on how you define it.

in WOW, it would be impossible for a mediocre player to beat a good player. impossible. they could duel 10,000 times, and the bad player would lose evry single duel.

in poker, @ least you can win in short run...

though, the amount of potential skill/analysis in poker is way more imo than wow...

I think ppl hate him b/c he wins more money playing poker then 99% of players even though he just started, is on eo fmost popular characters on youtube, and has a hot gf

Or maybe they hate him b/c they are too dumb to understand his vids are levels, and think he really is a dbag irl

Chiren is funny, good at WoW, good at poker, and probably better at life than the vast majority of the Negative Nancys that berate him or the persona he has created.

Anyone putting any hate on this guy certainly has a flawed sense of humour. This was comedy gold anyway you put it. Big thumbs up Athene!

I guess I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but i couldn't stand to watch one of the vids from the links above for more than thirty seconds. Maybe he's funny on some other stuff. It did seem quite obvious that it was schtick to me and not real, but it repelled me nonetheless. No hate, but I'm not sure I can force myself to watch him again.

people hating on him is ******ed, if the guy was being serious then fair enough, he'd be a classless idiot like phil hellmuth wouldn't he.

but obviously he is not being serious, its just fun, you haters know what fun is right?

I think Athene is one of the best barometers out their for other peoples intelligence, ever. All I have to do is scan any thread relating to Athene, and I can instantly tell who is a ****ing idiot, and who isnt

I have no clue who this guy is, but from this video, I love him. I'll definitely be looking for the older threads about him and getting up to speed on him.

I´m really impressed with his acting job on the WCOOP ME. It was seriously entertaining as **** and kept me awake when I was actually dead tired...Props.

He could be acting..... but lets not forget.... this is Athene, the ubergeek who made it his mission to max out his character while other people were probably still waiting in the queues to buy it on release day

I firmly believe he played it to win. And the reason he could "guarantee" a win was because he had a back up plan. If he wins, he was right. If he busts, we have the "reveal". Think about it...........had he cashed, would he have still released this clip?

No.

FFS the guy even called it a "game for idiots" and suggested WOW took more skill to play. It didn't sound like he was joking.

Athene humoured me.... he entertained me for a few hours. But the guy needs to grow up. Bigtime.
