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.

@Peter_Bukowski @lockedonpackers The mental gymnastics to say someone with 600 yards is a top 15 WR boggles my mind.

@SongbirdCora Nails looking kinda solid though

[Tim Rizzo @TimRizzo]

Long live Harambe.

The most challenging video that I've ever had to record

It's addresed to every single member of the @CounterStrike community:
- Fans
- Players
- Teams
- Collegues
- Tournament organisers
and others

This is a TLDR clip and the full version is on youtube

@MattEngstrom1 I assume you don't need another Vikings fan?

[Tim Rizzo @TimRizzo]

@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?

[Tim Rizzo @TimRizzo]

@MatthewColler did you catch the new untold about Magnus and Hans?

[Tim Rizzo @TimRizzo]

@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.

@KRS_levert Which?

@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.

Having my byline in the Washington Post a few times will forever be one of my proudest accomplishments. This is how democracy dies.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.

@IAmAsarch Do I listen to Keemstar or a journalist? Hmm ...

@AZJackson85 Forever a Heroes of the Storm legend

@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.

@Slasher So no Heroes of the Storm?
