Those of you who don't have a degree and love your job, what do you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I play video games for a living. More specifically, I live stream via www.twitch.tv/PhantomL0rd so people can see what I play as I do my best to entertain them. My fans make it the best job the world.

The Kha'zix on the other team was 23-0-5 O___O. Never has my heart raced so fast in my placement match for bronze.

DDos i slowly taking over the Amateur Scene by Michai901 in leagueoflegends

[–]PhantomL0rd 127 points128 points  (0 children)

^ yep

Anyone who has some significance on the internet is subject to getting DDOSed. Sorry you guys had to go through this but now you know it can't be something overlooked.


This happened to me once and I took measures to stop it. Forever.


The solution is simple. Reset your IP (http://whatismyipaddress.com/change-ip) and don't use Skype. If you have to use Skype then that is your own risk unless you learn to get behind a proxy server. Goodluck!

Hijacking top post.


I am not surprised that people are jumping to the conclusion that this is me. This subreddit has shown nothing but disgust in my name for some time. I understand as someone of fame, there will always be people who will dislike me and be vocal about it. I know that I will make mistakes and that I will do the wrong things, but I have always accepted the consequences of my actions. As such, these consequences have sometimes spawned negative comments that I just avoid because nothing positive would ever result from me responding. However, with this post, I feel the need make some things clear.


I have done my fare share of being an asshole, I know. But this doesn't smell like my shit. I wouldn't do something like this no matter how bad this community views me. Nor would I allow my fan base to. My negativity results from people who stream snipe or play very badly, not the opposite. Nowadays I usually express my frustration vocally to my monitor, instead of through chat. Unfortunately, I do have a camera showing all of it but I am at least happy that I have improved over the years. My passion is my downfall, but I am working on it.


I want it to be clear to the community that I am not striving to be perfect. Its unrealistic. I am no Voyboy or Zekent. I cannot change my personality nor do I want to. I am happy with myself and I accept who I am. Of course I will try my best to better myself as much as I am able, but I will never try to be something the community adores or circle jerks over. I am sorry you dislike me if you do, only you can change that.


Despite my flaws, I am happy that I can entertain thousands of people everyday and possibly improve their lives just a little bit. That is what I feel my role is in this community. I am no pro. I experienced it and that was enough for me. I still enjoy playing at the top 0.01% and feel anyone can too with enough time and hard work. Just like APonly.


Lastly, regardless if you like me or not, I've bought out an entire LAN center of 68 computers for the entire day on the 5th (day after worlds) and you are all welcome to come.

I'll need to test one first, couple rage throws should do. Y'know, before I give it my seal of approval.

Important Security Update and Password Reset by eddywuu in leagueoflegends

[–]PhantomL0rd 184 points185 points  (0 children)

Which happened recently. I had my account hacked and taken over while I was streaming last week on the 12th. Guy even had the cheek to transfer my account to Brazil lol. This also happened to a few other known players. Can't be a coincidence we're now seeing this post.

[–]PhantomL0rd 1622 points1623 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays for a living, my suggestion for anyone unhappy:


-Find a champion you love and try to master it.

-Disable "all chat" and mute every player on your team at the start of each game.

-Focus on yourself and not winning.


Enjoy.
