Sheth & Destiny Charity 24 hour Stream for Doctors without Borders

From what I read on the Teamliquid thread (same thread as below), they raised over $30,000.00 just from donations.  There is also the ad revenue which will be matched.

GG to everyone who donated time or money.


I think efforts like this show the general public that gamers, both pro and amateur, are Mannered and socially responsible.

Which is important if you want SC2 to be recognized as a real sport.  Doesn't mean you have to be a conformist.  Just that your willing to give something back to society.  Or paying forward if you prefer.

I believe that is one way to gain respect from the broader public that doesn't understand gaming. 

For people who are not part of the gaming community, it is hard to know much about it except that some kids and young adults spend a lot of time gaming instead of working or studying.

I think activities like this give gamers something they can point to that shows a clearly that gaming isn't a bad thing to people that are not into gaming.

I impressed that Destiny was trying hard enough to stay awake for this 24 hour Charity stream that he fell asleep on his keyboard.  Though I suspect a lot of people will tease him about it.


Remember Destiny has a baby son, so he doesn't necessarily get full night of sleep even if Rachel is around.  Parents with babies are often sleep deprived.

GJ Sheth!  GJ Destiny!  Also thanks to everyone else that helped or donated!!!
