Since joining Blizzard, I've seen what really good leadership does to a team. I'm not necessarily talking about the higher ups, I'm iffy on those decisions, but the leaders in my day-to-day are really fantastic. They understand the importance of a team and what makes a great one.
When I was in conversations about joining this team, I had doubts about you as a person based on how you acted in your previous teams. I got told you wouldnât be like that here, and I decided to give it a chance and try.
As a player, youâre amazing and really talented, you feel the game in a special way. All of us know that about you. But as a person, you were impossible to work with to the point where you wasted other peopleâs time, ruined practices, fully shut down in official matches because of your ego and made comments that hit people on a personal level - something a good teammate doesnât do. Iâve never experienced anything like that before.
After the decision was made to bench you, none of us said anything bad about you publicly. We didnât want to damage your reputation because we still had respect for you as a talented player.
Your tweet after our loss just confirmed that youâre still the same immature person I feared Iâll be teaming up with, following the same pattern of behavior we saw when playing together. All the best to you.
