Greek has always been depressed and aimless. He didn't know what he wanted in life and had many insecurities and frustrations that he bottled up with a jolly persona. Emulator is a good word to describe him, not knowing what he wanted from life, he tried to emulate a stereotypical successful man. Being fit he didn't feel fulfilled, but he did gain confidence, so now he could release some of that anger he kept bottled up. There's always a culture of 20 something year olds thinking that the only thing that matters is being desirable for women and think they have life figured out, and for some reason people accept this. How about listen to an 80-year-old for a change? You will see leading a peaceful life is about finding things you love, maybe that is a particular woman, maybe that's a hobby or a place. My great grandmother never was happy in a family, my great grandfather was a total ass, but she flourished after divorcing and getting to be herself. She loved ink press art, she loved aquatic nature, and she was so kind and generous to everyone. What Greek needs to do is stop emulating a formula, spend time discovering himself and finding the things he loves in life. I truly don't believe he will be happy if he gets a girlfriend, because he doesn't seem happy with himself. A girlfriend is only going to put more pressures on his insecurity and sunk more cost into this idea of an ideal life. He needs to be at peace with his true self if he wants to have a good relationship. If he doesn't his girlfriend will just be another outlet to unload his dissatisfaction of life onto.
A lot of this comment really resonated with me. How do you find out what you enjoy in life when nothing really brings long term happiness? I’m starting to lose hope of ever being happy
i left and had a family came back and to see greek... like this? bro was funny ASFFFF on LoL fat gigachad asf. like he paired with tyler so good that I come back to just dogshit now. rip the good times
Greek just seems like a lost soul to me. He needs a helping hand even though he is persistent on going on a path of destruction. Might not deserve it, but think he needs some love and support
Cant see him getting any tbh, only thing I see happening is him staying banned on twitch and dying out until people forget about him. Or he just goes to RUclips and only gets a cpl hundred viewers
Man, I still remember knowing Greek by a meme Pewds reviewed. He was saying some GIGACHAD messages but then losing instantly by looking at some boobas.
He developed an ego, got comfortable, fell off, and now he's losing his place in the streamer scene. He may not care for the money and attention, but in order to exist in the environment he wants, he needs both money and attention.
He never got comfortable that’s why he “fell off”. He got he wanted but he realized he had nothing left to reach for. Makes me wonder if all these zoomers will be happy when or if they reach their useless goals.

The only way it lasts is it has to be sustainable for you. That is losing weight AND keeping it 101. It doesn't matter if you can go on an insanely strict diet for a year and lose 150 pounds if you cant sustain that lifestyle
And yeah greek kept the weight off it looks like, thats amazing, but my point about weight applies to life in general. If its not sustainable then eventually shit is going to go down lol
Once he finally got fit he was still the same person for a very short time Sadge than he let it go to his ego aaand he became racist and said other questionable shit
Man, I really feel this. There was a time when I was younger when I took off a lot of weight, worked out all the time, but I was also cranky all the time, irritable, and totally focused on it. No social life to speak of and few friends. I got back to a happy medium later in my life where I still work out a lot but I also don't follow the diet so strictly and don't check myself in the mirror several times a day. It was really awful. I guess I'm saying I just know the mindset, it sucks. I feel bad for Greek and I hope he comes around. It's a shame to watch it.
How is losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle mean acting irritable? Sure losing weight could make you a little more on edge but not anymore than if you were fat. In fact I know people who are much happier after losing weight since they were so depressed while being fat. Your statement to me makes no sense, at least the first part doesn’t.
@@gely_ it revolves around chemicals in your brain, there is a food theory from matpat that discusses about it, when you don’t receive the food you normally consume there is a lack of dopamine which causes major mood swings
14:35 chat downplaying that massive weight loss battle Grekler won. That is inspiring whatever anyone says. The guy was massive, ready to end it and decided to actually do something about it. Something far from easy
Its true what T1 said. When Greek lost weight he also lost his humor, charisma and gained a huge ego. He seems more unhappy and more angry. He lashes out alot, has a very short temper and attacks other streamers to gain attention and force drama. His worldview is super controversial and he screams his opinion into our ears so everyone has to hear it. Probably for attention Back in the days he also did alot of things for attention . But at least in a lighthearted funny no harming way. I quite liked him back then I miss old Greek TrollDespair
This hurts seeing him spiral downwards, I remember having some of my best laughs watching Greek and T1 doing variety content all those years ago. Hopefully he can find some guidance, because he definitely needs some right now.
That really was the golden age if twitch. I have always admired Greek, even through all his hate. I only wish the best for the guy, he is a part of so many good memories of the 16-18 era.
Wasn't it a mushroom trip that changed his thought patterns and made him want to get better and fit? Sometimes after a profound experience like that you kinda ride the wave of positive change and self improvement. But the after glow doesn't last forever and lingering issues you haven't really dealt with well, will resurface. It can open your mind and snap you out of depression and bad things but it's a double edge sword sometimes. The mind is a fragile thing.
I'm 90% sure it was LSD micro dosing. Reckful had stated in one of his talks with Dr. K that he and Greek would do it together for thought pattern help.
Mushrooms are for elders not the young malleable mind. Did you know many fascists “realize” they are fascists after doing psychedelics? Just shows that it isn’t a miracle ego destroyer drug, but a drug with effects that can be perceived as positive just because culturally as of recently the veil of anti drug sentiment has weened recently.
you explained this so well. I have done it a couple times and the afterglow is very strong but your right, it doesn’t truly solve anything it can just give you a push in the right direction but you need to find other avenues yourself.
@@adamsteiner7352 after glow? 😂😂😂 its called the come down and shrooms are so tame compared tabs that it should last no more than a day. LOL U HAVE WEAK MINDSET PROLLY.
Same man i was a drdisrespect and shroud andy but then also started watching tyler and greek clips/vods on yt ( some Cx too ) and then comes xqc when i hear about him from greek. It was during the time x had the gold xqc balloons in the background . . . Good old times
greek was the person who introduced me to mizkif, i remember greek was making fun of mizkif for doing a challenge for a pokemon in lets go pickachu/eevee the following friday and decided to tune in. it was christmas, smash ultimate had barely dropped too, ah, good times.
It's fucking CRAZY to think that if Tyler just joined a different server, or if he was even just on a different map, and the greek encounters didn't happen the same way, there would be no greekgodx
Its kinda crazy to think, like maybe if greek had never got an audience from that 0.0000001% chance to get into tylers game and become his friend, he would have also stayed fat and possibly could be dead right now
@@noosurprises well you can get into his server right, maybe over and over which is what Greek did, but the chance of tyler actually being like "come on the stream dude" and becoming friends is insanely unlikely
This vid paints Tyler in a real bad light but Greek was dependent on Tyler while Tyler wanted to follow his own goals. “I miss the old greek” was still said when he was fat. Him and Tyler had insane chemistry but you can’t force them to stay together.
when i was depressed at 5am (im an eu frog), feeling like im the most lonely person on this planet, i tuned in to greeks minecraft streams to feel a little better. he and ironically fedmyster where the only sources of happiness i had back in the day. get well soon greek
@@Smokelweiss What reason would he have to do that though? Greek didn't start stream sniping with the intention of leeching. Why would he force himself to do something that he doesn't enjoy and seemingly doesn't benefit from? Your logic doesn't make any sense.
It's like Greek is an entirely different person now. Did he morph into this new person, or was this creature always inside waiting to be unlocked as circumstances changed? Who knows. Crazy story.
Actually what happened was Greek started being who he wanted but those around him didn't like it. He worked out people only love him for the image he portrays, its very depressing.
Another HUGE/MASSIVE point, Greek was addicted to Adderal starting his lose weight journey. Then 1-2yrs ago he said it on trains stream how he finally got prescribed Adderal. All this crazy “I’m above everyone” talk when he got on Adderal. I understand Adderal not the full blame, but it’s such a strong drug it’s altered his ways of thinking. Not “awaken” them
I miss greek when he was in greek and had happy vibes, stopped watching him when he was just reacting a year ago /: man i just want him to be happy so he can be happy to others and maybe start off something more positiv
Watching the first half, Greek looks really likeable, and he doesn't really look like himself at this point.. But on the other hand, years passed by and people change. The question is, is he actually happier now?
I’ve mentioned previously that this really just seems like the worst phase of Greek. Shame can keep you down for a longtime, Greek overcame that and moved forward, but only physically. He talks like he’s confronting his old self and insecurities in the most unhealthy manor. As far as his character goes, I really don’t understand how he can see himself to be better than his peers. Physically, I guess. But his personality is dull; his peers are established and full of character. Meanwhile, Greek is wasting his time spewing the same nonsense every other bogus ass alpha is spewing.
tyler1 and greek on arma was the goated. When they met up on Twitchcon watching them giggle with each other in the background on soda's stream was so wholesome.
I used to watch T1 and Greek all the time back in these days. I also met T1's ex-girlfriend Bailee after they broke up and were still somewhat talking. I used to play Rust and Overwatch with her until I legit couldn't stand her attitude anymore. Was interesting times lol. Was always hopeful she would play something with T1 & Greek just to get the experience of being teamed up with them, but sadly never happened.
I don't think it's accurate to say that you used to watch T1 and Greek all the time. In fact, I don't recall you ever mentioning them before. And while you may have met Bailee, I don't think you ever played Rust or Overwatch with her. In fact, I don't think you even know T1 and Greek, let alone their ex-girlfriend. So while your story may be interesting, I don't think it's based in reality.
@@christop3 I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with schizophrenia. It can be a very challenging and difficult disorder to live with. But don't let it define you or hold you back. There are many effective treatments and therapies available that can help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. So don't give up hope. Reach out to a mental health professional and get the help you need. You don't have to face this alone. And remember, even though schizophrenia is a part of who you are, it doesn't have to control your life. You have the strength and resilience to overcome this and live a fulfilling and happy life.
People were much smarter when mothers raised their kids not internet trolls, so what greek said is not that horrible. Many families work like that i know very good examples irl
I think in general something happened when greek focused on himself and got his weight down, he got better mentally and physically but those two factors made him lose his old self, which probably made him unsure and anxious again since it wouldn't be difficult to tell that people felt different about him when he came back fit but unfunny .,,,,
I still remember the fun Greece streams with Andy, the OTV streams when Greek visited them and all the laughs that came from his old streams. Now his streams are just a cesspool of toxic masculinity and misogyny, hopefully Greek can learn and push through whatever phase he is going through.
hes rich enough to take a break, get therapy and try to make amends with the people he knows, hes not too far gone yet but he will be soon. I really hope he just starts acting more logically and not being a piece of shit anymore. Minx did say it perfectly, he IS better than this and we just want him back.
tyler acting the way he did when meeting greek irl for the first time. man he really thought of him as a good friend. its that kinda pairing with the fit guy and the chubby guy as best friends makes it alot more sadder knowing that it was short lived
I think greek will come back and change but it will take some time, we'll have our jolly happy guy back but in shape and more sure of who he is. Thats my greek
The stay at home wife take is blown out of proportion. If he wants his girlfriend to stay at home and clean and cook and the woman agrees I don't see a problem
I think the issue with his statement is that he doesn’t seem to understand that it’s fine but only if it’s the decision of the wife or girlfriend. Men don’t get to order their significant other into giving up their careers. If my husband tried that shit I’d be gone lol. Also having a stay at home wife doesn’t mean you have someone to be there picking up after you and waiting on you hand and foot. It’s still a partnership and you still have to be a fucking adult. He can want a traditional relationship but he still has to show his woman respect ya know?
T1 knew when he said "he lost his weight, but also lost his humour", I thought it was a joke at first but I think he realised something before anyone really did. That moving in with unfunny people, can make you unfunny as well.
arma , h1z1.... 2015-2017 went so fast.... i swear. the best year in streaming. tyler, greek, young X, aris with tekken, soda with reckful, doc and his amazing streams..... those were days... now everyone is so limited by twitch tos. for me. twitch looks like a cage under a disguise of "friendly platform"
25:04 i used to think x would just throw up videos and leech content, but honestly lately he is actually adding his own valuable commentary to the mix with his perspective
Depends on the video really lol. If it's just some minor twitch drama that won't matter an hour after it's reported, then sure. He'll watch it and basically just stare at the screen blankly. In a case like this video though where it's about someone he knows personally he actually has something meaningful he can add.
Off topic note, I think its at least nice that minx was saying subtle stuff like "you're better than this" (In a nice way) cuz it actually shows that not everyone is against him and all he's doing is digging a deeper hole for himself.
I don't put that much credence on him changing. The audience has also been conditioned to prefer "wholesome" and gentle broadcasters. The core feedback for Twitch streamers are the subreddit LiveSteamFail. And many of the vocal are a very progressive demographic. This group sets the tone for top level streamers. For Greek to be successful going forward, he would have to pivot back to being "wholesome" and appealing to Reddit.
Wasn't there for greek and tyler streams, but I was there shortly afterwards, and greek was easily one of the funniest dudes on the platform, he had a great talent for entertaining viewers. One of my favorite all-time periods of twitch was Twitchcon 2018, in which greek was arguably the one who contributed the most to how fun it was to watch. Twitchcon 2019 was great as well, as well as other off collabs he like the streams with OTV and jakenbake. If you told me a couple years ago that he would get into all this drama, i'd probably believe it, even then he wasn't perfect, but I never thought his knack for entertainment would disappear as well
Greek sounds like another example of someone that lost weight, but let it go to their ego instead. Sometimes the first taste of getting things accomplished can push you to an unfortunate extreme. Either way though, I hope he can slow down and see how it's starting to negatively affect him and others.
That's actually how I first seen Greek, when he was doing IRL stuff in America. I didn't know about the sniping and stuff. TBF i have never really watched much Twitch before though, so this makes sense.
9:50 xqc's camera "problem" isn't a problem. check your metering settings on your camera. any camera by default will auto adjust this setting and provide either higher or lower ISO accordingly.
Greek has been bullied his entire for being fat. The moment he lost weight he couldn't wait to say ALL the things he wanted to say but didn't need to be worried about "shut up your fat'. I mean he's even now called other people fat, like mconnol on asmons stream. He's just going through a phase because he's lost weight
Ngl I don't see alot of streamers agreeing to playing with a sniper even if chat ask for it, probably a combination of greek being consistent at sniping and tyler being known to be toxic at that time (persona wise) he probaly didn't give af and was open to playing with a sniper which was fortunate for greek in the long run
i do find it kind of weird that Greek got banned for saying his opinion about women and even after it he said “but that’s up to you if you want to date me” , Yet Andrew Tate goes around in his bUgatti saying it’s a fact that women belong in the kitchen and it’s a fact that women can’t drive
He even said if you ain't a cam girl with 2k like Pokimane he would be willing to trade places ... He just wants to give his children attention which streaming for how long he does he can't provide so wants it split to one breadwinner and one caretaker... He is looking for a way to live life fulfillingly he is trying to emulate toxic masculinity and gets healthy and fit grow out his beard and try to attract girls but still adds sentences that show he is different he wants a family he doesn't think women are property he wants to invest his money to his wife and children see them grow so he can die and say I didn't just work for excess money and died with it

How is losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle mean acting irritable? Sure losing weight could make you a little more on edge but not anymore than if you were fat. In fact I know people who are much happier after losing weight since they were so depressed while being fat. Your statement to me makes no sense, at least the first part doesn’t.

14:35 chat downplaying that massive weight loss battle Grekler won. That is inspiring whatever anyone says. The guy was massive, ready to end it and decided to actually do something about it. Something far from easy
It is very impressive. I admire Greek for that.
Too bad it broke his brain though
Yep, i lost like 25kg(roughly 50-60 pounds) the last 2 years, and getting over that initial hurdle is NOT easy
I mean he also had pretty much unlimited free time and money to do it.
Its true what T1 said. When Greek lost weight he also lost his humor,
charisma and gained a huge ego.
He seems more unhappy and more angry. He lashes out alot, has a very short temper and attacks other streamers to gain attention and force drama. His worldview is super controversial and he screams his opinion into our ears so everyone has to hear it. Probably for attention
Back in the days he also did alot of things for attention . But at least in a lighthearted funny no harming way. I quite liked him back then
I miss old Greek TrollDespair
honestly it has to be drugs, no way GGX just logs off and 17 year old andrew tate fan takes control of his brain
So he should be fat again?
@@JesusOrDestruction who tf said that
Maybe he's depressed
Well working out probably sent is testosterone to never seem heights for him, getting no girls and being lonely as well, I don't blame him.
This hurts seeing him spiral downwards, I remember having some of my best laughs watching Greek and T1 doing variety content all those years ago. Hopefully he can find some guidance, because he definitely needs some right now.
That really was the golden age if twitch. I have always admired Greek, even through all his hate. I only wish the best for the guy, he is a part of so many good memories of the 16-18 era.
The old t1 Greek streams will go down in legend, some of the best live content that old twitch had
X frantically trying to keep IPs face covered up was hilarious
Can't escape TriHard Cx. Wonder what happened to him?
Wasn't it a mushroom trip that changed his thought patterns and made him want to get better and fit? Sometimes after a profound experience like that you kinda ride the wave of positive change and self improvement. But the after glow doesn't last forever and lingering issues you haven't really dealt with well, will resurface. It can open your mind and snap you out of depression and bad things but it's a double edge sword sometimes. The mind is a fragile thing.
he probably ate more mushrooms because he weighed about 600 lbs
I'm 90% sure it was LSD micro dosing. Reckful had stated in one of his talks with Dr. K that he and Greek would do it together for thought pattern help.
Mushrooms are for elders not the young malleable mind. Did you know many fascists “realize” they are fascists after doing psychedelics? Just shows that it isn’t a miracle ego destroyer drug, but a drug with effects that can be perceived as positive just because culturally as of recently the veil of anti drug sentiment has weened recently.
you explained this so well. I have done it a couple times and the afterglow is very strong but your right, it doesn’t truly solve anything it can just give you a push in the right direction but you need to find other avenues yourself.
@@adamsteiner7352 after glow? 😂😂😂 its called the come down and shrooms are so tame compared tabs that it should last no more than a day. LOL U HAVE WEAK MINDSET PROLLY.
Greek is actually the one that introduced me to X. I remember watching him on twitchcon and hanging out with him
same
Same man i was a drdisrespect and shroud andy but then also started watching tyler and greek clips/vods on yt ( some Cx too ) and then comes xqc when i hear about him from greek. It was during the time x had the gold xqc balloons in the background . . . Good old times
true and greek and his community introduced me to forsen.. it was 2018
greek was the person who introduced me to mizkif, i remember greek was making fun of mizkif for doing a challenge for a pokemon in lets go pickachu/eevee the following friday and decided to tune in. it was christmas, smash ultimate had barely dropped too, ah, good times.
dont watch miz no more tho LULW
It's fucking CRAZY to think that if Tyler just joined a different server, or if he was even just on a different map, and the greek encounters didn't happen the same way, there would be no greekgodx
Its kinda crazy to think, like maybe if greek had never got an audience from that 0.0000001% chance to get into tylers game and become his friend, he would have also stayed fat and possibly could be dead right now
@@lilgustav5065 the better timeline
@@unchartedknight0193 wishing death on someone you don't like? Pathetic
wouldn't greek have just found a way to find whatever other server Tyler was on? He was a pretty dedicated sniper
@@noosurprises well you can get into his server right, maybe over and over which is what Greek did, but the chance of tyler actually being like "come on the stream dude" and becoming friends is insanely unlikely
now greek is just a parasite that lays quietly in bed restreaming xqc stream trying to leach.
This vid paints Tyler in a real bad light but Greek was dependent on Tyler while Tyler wanted to follow his own goals.
“I miss the old greek” was still said when he was fat. Him and Tyler had insane chemistry but you can’t force them to stay together.
"Greek, stop. Come back to us"
Man. I can only wish. Hope he's not too far gone.
Ironically, a fitting greek tragedy.
when i was depressed at 5am (im an eu frog), feeling like im the most lonely person on this planet, i tuned in to greeks minecraft streams to feel a little better. he and ironically fedmyster where the only sources of happiness i had back in the day.
get well soon greek
That sucks lol Fed's gone and now Greek might be soon
I remember the Arma days with Greek and Tyler… FeelsStrongMan. Back when I was Clueless. Now I am Aware and Wokege. Sadge. TrollDespair…

@@Smokelweiss he's even more of clown now if anything
@@Smokelweiss What reason would he have to do that though? Greek didn't start stream sniping with the intention of leeching. Why would he force himself to do something that he doesn't enjoy and seemingly doesn't benefit from? Your logic doesn't make any sense.
hes just baiting views with the tate angle
@@Smokelweiss you might be a lil challenged if u can’t see the facade he has pushed and has doubled down on to cover his ego
@@Smokelweiss If thats what you call growing up, then fuckin yikes
Greek and T1 was without a doubt the funniest era of Twitch.
It's like Greek is an entirely different person now. Did he morph into this new person, or was this creature always inside waiting to be unlocked as circumstances changed? Who knows. Crazy story.
I imagine shrooms + dmt + a shit ton of Adderall can do that to a person. It could be the root of his madness.
@@KibatsuMusic wow you know really nothing about stuff you spoke. pls. stop talking
Money and drugs
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it actually psychedelics can and do change peoples personalities entirely.
Plenty of people lose their shit from fame. That's just how it is.
Actually what happened was Greek started being who he wanted but those around him didn't like it. He worked out people only love him for the image he portrays, its very depressing.
Another HUGE/MASSIVE point, Greek was addicted to Adderal starting his lose weight journey. Then 1-2yrs ago he said it on trains stream how he finally got prescribed Adderal. All this crazy “I’m above everyone” talk when he got on Adderal. I understand Adderal not the full blame, but it’s such a strong drug it’s altered his ways of thinking. Not “awaken” them
xQc when he was trying to hide ice had me dying
Greek walked so CaseOh could run
ong cuh
I miss greek when he was in greek and had happy vibes, stopped watching him when he was just reacting a year ago /: man i just want him to be happy so he can be happy to others and maybe start off something more positiv
Pretty sad, sucks to see him lose so many friends
You mean all the far left cucks on twitch that he blocked ooo xd
If your friends are not there for you during your bad days then then are not real friends.
Yeah must suck to lose all 3 of your friends 😂🤣
Yeah, everyone is just too politically correct for Greek.
He needs therapy. I think Tyler is a real one. Pretty sad he lost him as a friend.
Greek and Tyler era is easily, by far, undoubtedly the best era of twitch, people who were there know
it took me a while to realize he was saying victim, not big tim
I would love to see a Greek redemption arc.
Watching the first half, Greek looks really likeable, and he doesn't really look like himself at this point.. But on the other hand, years passed by and people change. The question is, is he actually happier now?
I’ve mentioned previously that this really just seems like the worst phase of Greek. Shame can keep you down for a longtime, Greek overcame that and moved forward, but only physically. He talks like he’s confronting his old self and insecurities in the most unhealthy manor. As far as his character goes, I really don’t understand how he can see himself to be better than his peers. Physically, I guess. But his personality is dull; his peers are established and full of character. Meanwhile, Greek is wasting his time spewing the same nonsense every
other bogus ass alpha is spewing.
Greek crying seeing Tyler is one of the best moments I’ve seen
Tyler and greek on minecraft was something tbh
Even though I don't watch Greek, when people said he lost his humor with his weight, I defended him. Boy was I wrong!!!
His irl streams from Greece are actually very relaxing.
We will miss him dearly, RIP Greek.
nah we wont

@@BloopSuperJuice he did technically, no one cares about what he has to say anymore and he's banned off Twitch. He's fallen off
tyler1 and greek on arma was the goated. When they met up on Twitchcon watching them giggle with each other in the background on soda's stream was so wholesome.
I used to watch T1 and Greek all the time back in these days. I also met T1's ex-girlfriend Bailee after they broke up and were still somewhat talking. I used to play Rust and Overwatch with her until I legit couldn't stand her attitude anymore. Was interesting times lol.
Was always hopeful she would play something with T1 & Greek just to get the experience of being teamed up with them, but sadly never happened.
I don't think it's accurate to say that you used to watch T1 and Greek all the time. In fact, I don't recall you ever mentioning them before. And while you may have met Bailee, I don't think you ever played Rust or Overwatch with her. In fact, I don't think you even know T1 and Greek, let alone their ex-girlfriend. So while your story may be interesting, I don't think it's based in reality.

people in your chat telling you to unpause video when youre giving your input... these people literally live through you lmao.
People were much smarter when mothers raised their kids not internet trolls, so what greek said is not that horrible. Many families work like that i know very good examples irl
10:40 His anxious face and the camera movements lmao
I think in general something happened when greek focused on himself and got his weight down, he got better mentally and physically but those two factors made him lose his old self, which probably made him unsure and anxious again since it wouldn't be difficult to tell that people felt different about him when he came back fit but unfunny .,,,,
Kinda miss the old times of twitch streams...really miss some people
I still remember the fun Greece streams with Andy, the OTV streams when Greek visited them and all the laughs that came from his old streams. Now his streams are just a cesspool of toxic masculinity and misogyny, hopefully Greek can learn and push through whatever phase he is going through.
At this point X doesn't even have to look behind him to know Nick is there, he just has to look at his chat when they spam GIGACHAD.
hes rich enough to take a break, get therapy and try to make amends with the people he knows, hes not too far gone yet but he will be soon. I really hope he just starts acting more logically and not being a piece of shit anymore. Minx did say it perfectly, he IS better than this and we just want him back.
tyler acting the way he did when meeting greek irl for the first time.
man he really thought of him as a good friend.
its that kinda pairing with the fit guy and the chubby guy as best friends
makes it alot more sadder knowing that it was short lived
Greek and Tyler variety gaming is and will always be the best Twitch era
watching this video just a little under two months later, and seeing asmon's tweet from 2021, it definitely puts a lot into perspective
considering the shit Greek has been doing, Minx handled that interaction very well
I think greek will come back and change but it will take some time, we'll have our jolly happy guy back but in shape and more sure of who he is. Thats my greek
You called it
Finally, a guy that makes better videos than Moon. What a find.
this video is literally 1:1 the mizkif old video "who is greek"
If you ever watched him in Rust a few years back, you'd know he was a key piece in bringing the Juice.
tyler1 and greek era was the best of all twitch eras
The stay at home wife take is blown out of proportion. If he wants his girlfriend to stay at home and clean and cook and the woman agrees I don't see a problem
I think the issue with his statement is that he doesn’t seem to understand that it’s fine but only if it’s the decision of the wife or girlfriend. Men don’t get to order their significant other into giving up their careers. If my husband tried that shit I’d be gone lol. Also having a stay at home wife doesn’t mean you have someone to be there picking up after you and waiting on you hand and foot. It’s still a partnership and you still have to be a fucking adult. He can want a traditional relationship but he still has to show his woman respect ya know?
@@MrsMinYoongi_93 at the end of his take he said if a woman isn't ok with that then don't date him
They don't have a problem with anything he said. People just search for conflict and drama in everything, simply because they enjoy it.
@@MrsMinYoongi_93 What? Nobody wants to be with somebody that doesn't want them back. That's the whole point lol
Hearing MIZ say that shit right now is fucking hilarious. He's done.
by the looks of it greek was always toxic with a massive ego but back then he said it with a smile and laughter 7:40
T1 knew when he said "he lost his weight, but also lost his humour", I thought it was a joke at first but I think he realised something before anyone really did.
That moving in with unfunny people, can make you unfunny as well.
aw man old greek and tyler makes me tear up :( those were the simple days.
H1z1 days and arma rp were the best thing I saw on twitch until this day I won’t forget it
arma , h1z1.... 2015-2017 went so fast.... i swear. the best year in streaming. tyler, greek, young X, aris with tekken, soda with reckful, doc and his amazing streams..... those were days... now everyone is so limited by twitch tos. for me. twitch looks like a cage under a disguise of "friendly platform"
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it yeah it’s feels like they are forced to stream and forced to restrain themself so they don’t get banned it’s sad
i forgot for like 10 mins that XQC was even there
25:04 i used to think x would just throw up videos and leech content, but honestly lately he is actually adding his own valuable commentary to the mix with his perspective
Depends on the video really lol. If it's just some minor twitch drama that won't matter an hour after it's reported, then sure. He'll watch it and basically just stare at the screen blankly. In a case like this video though where it's about someone he knows personally he actually has something meaningful he can add.
It sucks that he lost everything just when he was starting to get his health together.
He got a hold of his physique, now's time to take care of what happens in his head.
2017 Greek, Miz, Ice, Andy all were on another level
Even though I don’t watch Greek anymore, him and T1 hold a special place in my heart.
Long live fat greekgodx. The best greek ever.
"Tyler is so shy look at him!"
*Tyler literally sniffing a man in the background*
dude I would be rolling around laughing during the Greek and tyler duo streams. Major tragedy :(
Off topic note, I think its at least nice that minx was saying subtle stuff like "you're better than this" (In a nice way) cuz it actually shows that not everyone is against him and all he's doing is digging a deeper hole for himself.
14:50 HEY THAT'S ME POGGERS
you made it man
T1 and greek duo and ice Poseidon were peak twitch i haven't watched a single live stream since then
I got into twitch through watching Greek on RUclips it’s sad to see himself change from what we all loved
I don't put that much credence on him changing. The audience has also been conditioned to prefer "wholesome" and gentle broadcasters. The core feedback for Twitch streamers are the subreddit LiveSteamFail. And many of the vocal are a very progressive demographic. This group sets the tone for top level streamers. For Greek to be successful going forward, he would have to pivot back to being "wholesome" and appealing to Reddit.
@@tukos7370 ye agreed but his ego changed him 100% i guess the community changed when he took time off n he never catches up
The camera is switching to nighttime mode when you bring up the black t-shirt, you should be able switch from auto to manual... :D
Greek: I’m sane
*Eats bug*
Everybody in cultures where eating bugs is normal must be insane according to you
We just watched a man casually lose his sanity
Greek is currently fishing and getting a tan while all of twitch and LSF is crumbling to the ground
The "come back to us" felt real
Wasn't there for greek and tyler streams, but I was there shortly afterwards, and greek was easily one of the funniest dudes on the platform, he had a great talent for entertaining viewers. One of my favorite all-time periods of twitch was Twitchcon 2018, in which greek was arguably the one who contributed the most to how fun it was to watch. Twitchcon 2019 was great as well, as well as other off collabs he like the streams with OTV and jakenbake. If you told me a couple years ago that he would get into all this drama, i'd probably believe it, even then he wasn't perfect, but I never thought his knack for entertainment would disappear as well
Honestly tyler1 variety was the golden era of twitch I don't remember being that entertained in a long time
Greek sounds like another example of someone that lost weight, but let it go to their ego instead. Sometimes the first taste of getting things accomplished can push you to an unfortunate extreme. Either way though, I hope he can slow down and see how it's starting to negatively affect him and others.
That's actually how I first seen Greek, when he was doing IRL stuff in America. I didn't know about the sniping and stuff. TBF i have never really watched much Twitch before though, so this makes sense.
Greek is legend, he is just person with pure heart ive never see him hate someone, i still laugh at his funny content
GGX Gang
yo the live face cover was the highlight of the video for me!!
honestly greekgod is a good example of what happens to a Person if they get famous fast without going through the early hardships.
9:50 xqc's camera "problem" isn't a problem. check your metering settings on your camera. any camera by default will auto adjust this setting and provide either higher or lower ISO accordingly.
Greek has been bullied his entire for being fat. The moment he lost weight he couldn't wait to say ALL the things he wanted to say but didn't need to be worried about "shut up your fat'. I mean he's even now called other people fat, like mconnol on asmons stream. He's just going through a phase because he's lost weight
Surely it's just a 3 year phase
He's going through his edgy teenager years in his late 20s
Ngl I don't see alot of streamers agreeing to playing with a sniper even if chat ask for it, probably a combination of greek being consistent at sniping and tyler being known to be toxic at that time (persona wise) he probaly didn't give af and was open to playing with a sniper which was fortunate for greek in the long run
i do find it kind of weird that Greek got banned for saying his opinion about women and even after it he said “but that’s up to you if you want to date me” , Yet Andrew Tate goes around in his bUgatti saying it’s a fact that women belong in the kitchen and it’s a fact that women can’t drive
He even said if you ain't a cam girl with 2k like Pokimane he would be willing to trade places ... He just wants to give his children attention which streaming for how long he does he can't provide so wants it split to one breadwinner and one caretaker... He is looking for a way to live life fulfillingly he is trying to emulate toxic masculinity and gets healthy and fit grow out his beard and try to attract girls but still adds sentences that show he is different he wants a family he doesn't think women are property he wants to invest his money to his wife and children see them grow so he can die and say I didn't just work for excess money and died with it
