AOE-II DE Hello, I'm OLADUSHEK.

[DracKeN]

Good that you're always coming back to my stream when you hate me that much.

Well I see it rather as very stupid, not brave, same as the rest of the topic. It even doesn't feel like it could be correct, I can't see anyone being so naive if he's 22. I can't see even children who are 12 having the same thought process. I'd be very shocked if everything he puts there was correct (age, that he was studying uni, that he had a job, that he doesn't consider this as a troll..). I simply fail to believe it. I know some people are smarter than others, but I thought everyone has at least basic sense of rationality.

I don’t like ignoring people when quoting me (when there’s no serious trolling at least) but all I’ll say to this is that it’s not my place to judge him or anything like that since I am not his parent or someone he deeply respects. It’s his life to live however he wants to do it.

I think we have the same opinion, except that you're nice and prefer to be supportive. I'm not either.

I am a big Arena fan but I have stopped watching your streams. Too much negativity.

His behavior is one point, but the topic and question is just as absurd. Sure we all want to follow our dreams, but this question is just so far from reality it becomes a joke real quick. Dont we all want free money? The ppl here just gave him a reality check. He will learn much more from that then: "oooh you can do it, follow your dreams kid, someone will give you that money for free!" The world needs to be able to tell the truth without being blamed of being rude. The truth is rude and hard, the reactions here are just the message and not the perpetrator.

I see your point honestly about reality and I have wondered the same things at some point. But still as I have mentioned before on here, I like to believe big and even truly great things are possible.

Like, I don’t know how much you know about various businessmen, but take a look at a lot of people with hundreds of millions or even billionaires. A lot of them were broke, could barely eat, had electricity shut off because they couldn’t pay the bill, it goes on. Some were broke for years. I believe Jennifer Lopez slept on some bench before she made it big. Virtually homeless. Can only imagine the criticism they endured if they told anyone their dreams. Probably shutdown immediately. It honestly makes me sad no one is willing to believe someone else could achieve something great just because someone can’t see themself doing it. That’s just on the subject matter itself. Not actually trying to be rude btw, just saying the truth as it looks in my head. Otherwise like I mentioned to Dracken, it’s his life.

How much do you know about various businessman?

Nobody plans ever to become a billionaire. This is something you cannot plan. All the people who got billionaire by business like Jeff Bezos or Elon musk had big dreams but Aswell big luck and obviously they are smart and have very good/best skills in many fields.

Most of them turned billionaire in their 50. Only the internet billionaires are faster.
Anyway what Alperen is asking is on the same level than saying I want to drive a lambo but I cannot afford please gift me money I send you a video driving it later.

People who are always optimistic don’t get too far. You need to be realistic.

That is true, I have heard that as well. There is Mark Cuban for instance who admitted luck played a part with that. But that’s also the guy who said he ate mustard and ketchup sandwiches and has has his electricity, water, and even phone shut off if I am not mistaken. Still though, impossible? I think as long as you’re always working towards something and are willing to do what it takes, doors open.

On the subject of aoe, I have known in some way many of the pros that were below 2k that I never thought would ever get to where they were. If there’s one thing humans have a good record of, it’s how bad we are at predicting the future. That goes for the good and the bad. How many times has the end of the world been predicted for instance? So who can really judge the potential of Alperen honestly?

I think you got it wrong - what most people are not willing to believe is that you can ask for $300 a month while giving nothing in return and expect to be taken seriously.

 

[AttilaTheHun]

I think we should ignore all Russian and Belarussian players due to the geopolitical in Ukraine.

I'm pretty sure Oladushek had to go to Belarusian jail for a short while for protesting against the invasion (don't remember the exact details). Therefore, I don't think you should be so loud, especially as the risk of going to jail for AoEzone comments is very small.

Not to mention that of the top Russian players two weren't even born when Putin was named president by Yeltsin (and one of them is still underage AFAIK), one was a toddler (and is currently teaming up with a Ukranian in TG tournaments) and yet another is Ukrainian-born and actually tried to represent Ukraine alongside classicpro in aoelympics not long ago.

Of course it's easier to mix 200 people in the same bag and go for some cheap virtue signalling on an online forum.

If this is what most posts were about, then it does seem like I have misunderstood things (I know yours at least was about that). The impression I was getting from some of them, was the “No, you can’t become a pro because you have to be the .00001% that achieve it. Therefore you won’t get any sponsor.” That’s given he said he left everything to become a pro.

Otherwise tbh, I actually don’t know if it is really possible or not. If tyler1 can get multiple sponsorships while I suppose accidentally saying the product is crap and literally read verbatim what the company is requesting, I am thinking anything is possible tbh 11.

Then a more serious example perhaps, there is Murat who was a sponsor of this game back in the early 2000s. He actually funded an entire group of I believe several people that couldn’t afford to live and rented them an apartment to last at least 1-2 years. That was so they could play in counterstrike tournaments, but I am not sure of their level of skill. That was money he could afford to give away, so I honestly don’t know what could or can’t happen. Nothing really surprises me in life anymore for better or worse.

Yeah, but not only was Arbalet shitting golden bricks back then, he was also sponsoring the very, very top talent the game(s) had to offer. So even if he didn't have any hopes for financial reward he at least expected success ingame (which he got, if I'm not mistaken). In this case that's off the table as well, at least for the foreseeable future.

Make money to stream and make aoe videos

I can offer somewhere in range of 1K euro per month, in exchange for daily streams (1 to 5 hours) . You will also need to do videos outside the stream, to talk about specific events. Most of the time will be low effort work, but you will just have to show up everyday, no matter what. And get...

I wrote this inspired by your post. I tried in the past to work with aoe streamers, but was just a learning experience. If I get someone in, they should be grateful to you and your post
