I am mcDuffs and I started IMBAtv back in December. The whole movement started in the beginning of November when I returned from Blizzcon, after getting pats on the back from the fans of the Craftcup system, and decided that I needed to start something big. So after much deliberation I started to learn what it takes to have a live stream. After a month of testing and learning I started to add production standards into the stream. A few of my friends and I decided that we wanted to get everything rolling with our stream so we had to decide on a name. IMBAtv (shout out to Xiph who picked the name) became the name because it was a time where all I heard from everyone was how IMBA something is or this race is imbalanced. So we said "Everything is imbalanced!" and that became our name / slogan. After getting the domain name and getting another team member (JimRaynor) we worked hard to keep the show going no matter the hardship. We started to lay the foundations for IMBAtv in a very positive way. Talking everyday about what we need to do and where we need to grow. JimRaynor may be hated by the majority of you all but IMBAtv would not be here and this strong with out all the big work he has put into the creation of IMBAtv. With that being said lets talk about myself for a bit away from IMBAtv. I am a web developer and business owner that lives in Nevada. I am mainly a freelancer for web based applications but I am always trying to start new things. I enjoy listening to music like meaning full underground hip hop, metal, classical, and some dub step. I started gaming back when I first learned what computers where and it has always been my passion. I had perfect attendance in school from 1st grade to 8th grade and I will always show up on time. In the web design area of my life I won Silver medal in SkillsUSA (a tournament for people in each state to compete for the best in there occupation) for the state of Nevada in my 11th grade year. Then took gold in my senior year as well as got 9th place overall for nationals after receiveing the "Most businesslike and most professional" award from the main judges of the tournament. After high school I started my own web business where I have kept on going for the years and even now. Besides all the work related stuff I would say I am a very easy going guy who tries hard in everything I do. I dont like to give up as there is usually a way thru what ever issue we all face. I work well with alot of different people and I would say I am a people person. I am also very neutral and can usually delegate well with others I am in contact with. Other than that I like Steampunk, Magic Cards, Comic books, Comedy Movies, The office and Star trek!

Sorry I was told that I should have one so I went ahead and created it. Maybe... I should have let one of my fans create it. But I will just LOL at things and put them up here.
Thanks for the comments everyone. And for those who dont know who I am just watch IMBA.tv

Yeah now that I think about it... It does seem wrong. But u know what man. I was up for 45 hours so I think the lack of sleep made me just wanna do everything XD so after a fan said "You should have a tl.net fan page" My brain went. Yes HOW! So I did it. Thanks for the post tho
Sign me up, love imba.tv even though torai is on it. Always a great fallback cast if nothing else is on :p only joking, love ya McDuffs. Thanks for dedicating so much time to casting the regular "grassroots" SC2 tournies.

IMBAtv is going to be holding a meetup at Blizzcon 2011 in Anniheim!
If you are going and you have your ticket then please quote this post to be added to the blizzcon 2011 meetup list! There will be a forum post about this later
yo dude just tuned into your stream for the first time today and I can say objectively that you're an annoying neckbeard and your epic so random antics are a detriment not only to the starcraft community but to the internet as a whole. Also if you have to create your own fanclub, maybe you should take a hint.

Well if this where absolutly true for everyone then why do we continue to grow with massive support from the fans out there? I understand that not everyone likes what I throw down. But if thats the case just dont watch. Thanks for the input tho. Maybe next time you can think of some actual criticism instead of just throwing large words in a troll stance. Because this is just being regarded as a troll and not an actual comment.

It boggles my mind anyone could be an antifan of those two hats you wore today : O
Mcduffs, you sir are the man, and a pretty great caster to boot. I love the energy that goes into all the Imbatv casts. And anyone who hates on the beard is clearly jealous.
You are super awesome !! Big tournaments like MLG, Dreamhack and NASL should hire you as shoutcaster cause you're easily the BEST one out there ! You even beat Day9 !
Sign me up too! The Gathering is the first time I see you, and I really like your energy while casting. Plus, you rock the aviator/pirate/viking look like a true boss.
Those casting at gathering 2012 with throwing chairs, those epic pilot-hat, shout all the words meme nad other things were the best dayoffs i ever had watching streams, iam your fan now mcduffs, sing me up totally...totally sing me! ->:F rom Krasnoyarsk, Russia.
