There are no exact details as to what exactly will be happening in these new jobs minus the promotion of the Smash scene but we do know this isn't the end of seeing these well known Smashers in their usual capacity due to a comment made by D1 on /r/smashbros.

"I still can't believe I've moved on to royal colored pastures. The thing is, I got a job with a company that lets me still do community manager work. I can still cast if the opportunity arises as well. Thank you so much for everything people. One of the best days of my life." -D1​

Congratulations to both D1 and Crimson! Hopefully this means new exciting things for the world of Smash!

SmashCapps could only dream of having such a cool job, but Smashboards writer is still pretty cool! Go follow him on Twitter to keep up with every he's doing involving Smash.

eSports, baby.

 

[Patrick Ray]

Smash still growing! Hype Train Never comin' to a stop.

 

[Dravidian]

Good stuff.

 

[milesg2g]

D1 looks like Melee Fox to me and I'm so jealous of that. It's probably because every pic of him I see his face it to the left or right.

 

[visvim]

The legend grows.

 

[moofpi]

Congrats D1 and Crimson, goin' for the top baby!

 

[ValiantNorth]

Nice stuff D1! Loving this news.

 

[T0MMY]

Very happy for you, D1. Still remember our first time meeting at MLG Orlando!
Congrats to Crimson as well!
Thanks for doing so much work for the Smash Community!

 

[CaptainJazz]

I wonder if Prog would've been brought on too, had he not been in and out of retirement.

 

[SuaveChaser]

Congrats to them.

 

[Jaedrik]

Buster no more?
Edit: who am I kidding? He's just Twitch | Buster now.

 

[TreK]

Damn, that's a dream job for you guys, congratulations !

I trust you guys with convincing Twitch to bring PM back in its game lineup, there's been some shady **** with "Moon" and stuff. It's not going to be easy but we all count on you <3

 

[Nights Owl]

All I can say is that I'm sure they're going to do us proud. <3

 

[Ur2Slow]

Good. Can't wait to see what happens

 

[Auramaniji]

Congrats D1, can't wait to see the wealth of "destruction" that you're commatating in the future!

[Rockin Banana]

Smash will never die. Love D1 & Crimson, glad to hear this

 

[XOSugar]

Just a tip for journalistic writing: don't begin an article (or a sentence even) with a parenthetical phrase.

"In an exciting development for the Smash scene," Just get right to the point. You also used the word "exact" twice in this sentence: "There are no exact details as to what exactly"

Happy writing.

Long live Smash!

 

[Code Bread]

Big name smash people always post their jazz on reddit now. No love for the boards.

This was my very first Twitch sub

 

[D1]

I wish there were more ways for me to say thank you to all the smashers that kept me staying the scene for as many years as I did. This is no way signifies the end of my efforts to help Smash get more visibility. I'll still cast if I can, help with running a tournament if I can, do social media management, help promote other smashers, take part in interviews, and anything else that increases our exposure in a positive light. Thanks for being so awesome Smash community. It wouldn't have been possible without you.

<3

-D1

P.S. - Had to give Smashboards the better thank you post as this is the place that helped me become who I am today.

Obviously.

D1, how does it feel to hold the clasp of humanity in your hand?

 

[K7Sniper]

Now if only Twitch could go back to the previous level of quality before Amazon bought them out...

Those who aren't paying partners or huge names are getting completely throttled by poor video quality and streaming lag.

We e-sports now?

10/10 criticism.
@ LiteralGrill

Also, someone pls (D1, Buster) give us the low-down on Twitch and the Project Moon glitch? I'm under the impression that Twitch is trying to protect us from Nintendo, but I could be wrong.

 

[Jakeon]

And the legend continues...

 

[42nd]

Esports Destruction!

 

[AirFair]

[SojyuRyu]
