On this day four years ago, Activision Blizzard announced the end of the competitive @BlizzHeroes pro circuit.
Orgs, players, fans and even company employees weren't given any indication dozens were about to be unemployed and a scene flattened.
Long live the #HGC.
The most challenging video that I've ever had to record

- Fans
- Players
- Teams
- Collegues
- Tournament organisers
and others
This is a TLDR clip and the full version is on youtube

@MatthewColler What's your general takeaway from the whole situation? Is Magnus just a sore loser or are you under the impression that Hans cheated OTB and wasn't caught despite the investigation?
@MatthewColler It was entertaining, but a bit all over the place. Leaves you with more questions than answers. Felt like someone saw the viral story and rushed to turn it into an episode ASAP.
@J_Alexander_HS@Yusukeseru How is that any different than listening to the even smaller number of people who still want it in the game? Also, I thought you were better than using the word "retarded" to describe something you don't like in 2026.
The devastating news at the Washington Post reminds me of this great @RealMichaelKay rant on the importance of journalism. Give it a watch if you have a few minutes.

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I donโt think itโs particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.

@SongbirdCora I resonate with a lot of this. Thanks for sharing and glad you're doing better.
Never would have guessed your internet persona of a nerd who enjoys Pokemon was all an act.
