I hope he lives a happy life from here on out

Spotlights will not be the same without him

And the announcer will now feel shallow to me

Farewell Kevin, you will be missed

I’m really curious what was the reason he left the company, better job opportunity?

Yup job opportunity it seems just from reading his second tweet:

Well then I hope the best for him out there.

He probably didn’t want the vampires at activision to suck the life out of him when he wasn’t looking any more than they already have.

I’ve tried it, but it’s kind a tilting when a game isn’t going in your favor and he says stuff like… well, I don’t remember the exact quote(s), but was something like “be more careful next time”, or “learn from your mistakes”. It feels like when you are being chased by a Win Blades Varian, when your hero has no mobility and no CC (or another example would be Diablo + Alarak + Ana + Imperius… have fun escaping from that), and your teammates ping you with “retreat”. Yeah… I’m trying… not that there is anything I can actually do about it.

But I did enjoy his spotlight videos :stuck_out_tongue:

can’t say I’m particularly surprised. with HOTS circling the drain and Blizzard in generally starting to kinda fall apart, he’s probably found significantly greener pastures. hope he finds a company that appreciates his talents <3

spoiler speculation: he’s off to join the face of hearthstone that left last year.

Bad for us but probably good for him, I’m sure someone will recognize the enthusiasm he brought to the live broadcasts as well as the hype he helped grow with his narration.

With apologies to The Highlord, Kevin is still my favorite announcer. Best of luck to him in his future endeavors.

So if no Kevin - no more new heroes? :frowning:
