Hope you had fun at IEF. I admit I was skeptical at first about your donation thread. However after the discussion in your thread I began to come around. You seem like a good guy with a sound plan. I'll post it here in case anyone missed it:

I will do in depth analysis of everything and make it open to everyone. To people that donate the most, I will offer them my material i use in my lessons, and I will try to post a huge lesson that can be open to the public (my lessons have been about 90 -120 minutes long). I will do anything and everything and be extremely gracious for anything.
In terms of a goal, my team will match half of what is donated. I will map out day by day the progress of everything.
Thank you for your time,
Respectully yours, Andre "Gretorp" Hengchua
It's been almost three months since IEF. I understand real life responsibilities are time consuming. After all you only managed to play 117 games on your TSL account. I was rooting for you to qualify so that you would have a reason to play more and maybe even stream some games. Now that TSL ladder has passed, you're already two months behind on your streaming. If my math is correct, it means from now on when I look over to my right, I should see your name on the streamers list. When I wake up I should see you streaming, when I go to sleep I should hear you commentating. There should be fucking encyclopedias' worth of terran knowledge coming out of your livestream.
It's cool though since no one watches streams. I was however, looking forward to your public lessons. Terran is a hard race. I'm sure most of the community would benefit from your pages and pages of detailed map analysis you were writing. I certainly want it since I've been getting killed on heartbreak tvz. Where are you Gretorp? I think as your fan, I deserve an explanation. Hope to see you soon.

I made a summary of events for gretorp because frankly I think honor is important on the internet and he was unable to keep even the simplest of promises after taking money from people. Some of this is secondhand knowledge, those who were there feel free to correct me.
SUMMARY OF EVENTS:
Gretorp buys plane ticket to Korea Gretorp realizes he cannot pay for said ticket he now indebted for Gretorp has genius plan, asks TL to donate because he: currently provides the "service" of a stream (this part he actually did) Will *in the future* give TL exclusive IEF coverage (this may not be his fault directly as IEF is run pretty poorly) will do in depth commentary on his stream giving his thoughts during games and reasons for decisions, go over replays and continue helping students Gretorp recieves money, goes to Korea Gretorp sees people from TL for a confirmed 12 and a half minutes Gretorp tries to have sex with several Korean girls Gets rejected Continues to not hang with said TL crew Disappears from TL Does not deliver on a single promise, in fact does EVEN LESS upon his return to (wherever the fuck he is from) as he doesn't even continue streaming

Was the $200 on Korean BBQ? That must've been some good meat.

You don't get girls by buying them dinner LOL. My heart is ready to explode in rage that someone would do that.

I admit I haven't been active and I apologize. I have had computer problems and I apologize for that but that's not an excuse.
I am not going to explain my personel problems here, because it will just sound like an excuse. I will be streaming soon however. I just got my camtasia back again.

Gretorp is a good person and a great player who has done alot over the years for the starcraft community.
Regardless of him following through with this promise that's the plain and simple fact.
I would be willing to bet most everyone bashing on him here didn't donate a penny for his IEF trip either.
|
I eagerly await a totally rational explanation. I sound like that guy in every horror movie who always says that same thing.
Unless he did actually spend the money on hookers and blow, in which case, I eagerly look forward to the drama.
|
Zulu please stop patronizing me. I know you're not my fan in anyway and I know you don't like me. I will deliver.
|
yeah regardless of what he promises
who cares about promises anyways they don't mean anything!
|
I think he's just angry that we couldn't donate to him too. Seriously bly, stop being jealous; why don't you go EARN your Denny's and bitches like gretorp has.
|
Haters gonna hate. Keep it up Gretorp. Don't let douchebags like zulu_nation8 keep you down.

And for good reason as he has proved to us! And can you elaborate on what he's done 'over the years?'

Sure he hasn't been streaming, but he did start his contributions.... the pdf file was a beginning to that I think, he just busy with life ? We all do, but I think since he's been reminded, he'll get on it soon.
|
I'm glad that TL is calling people out on their promises... but I wouldn't bash him before he has a chance to explain himself
|
Obviously Gretorp was busy enough not to stream, and I do think that TL shouldn't pressure him, but I have to agree that I would love to see Gretorp stream again. He is pretty much the reason I switched to terran.
