Huge loss for the blizzard community today.

Hope we can get a tribute to the man in Blizzard World.

To the Cynical Brit :beers:

I want to strangle cancer. Like, I want to take a personification of the disease cancer and cut off its air supply with a piano wire.

I really really donā€™t want to sound disrespectful, but who was he? Was he a part of the overwatch league?

Please donā€™t take this the wrong way, I just genuinely donā€™t know who TotalBiscuit was.

TotalBiscuit/Cynical Brit was a YouTube critic best know for his WTF isā€¦ series in which he showcased steam games and gave rather in depth reviews about them. Primarily ones that werenā€™t super popular to bring them to gamerā€™s attention.

Youtuber who got his fame, in part, by playing Starcraft and WoW but also did a lot of game criticism, especially of indie games. He was a controversial figure but also someone who had a lot of passion for gaming and a lot of loyal fans, pretty influential and popular.

Sounds like somebody who was a very positive influence on PC gaming as a whole. We need as many of those as we can get. Shame to see one go.

He definitely was. Iā€™ll miss his WTF isā€¦ series in particular, as I picked up a number of games I never would have looked at twice because of him.

Heā€™s also the face of the ā€œLULā€ twitch emote we all know and love.

Rest in Peace, comrade.

Aww, this is heartbreaking. :frowning:

I used to watch his WoW Cataclysm beta videos. He made some great content and I was so sad when he quit WoW.

Condolences to his family and friends. RIP. :frowning:

There, something positive.
As well as everyone else now on twitter that knew him personally.

He had a massive impact on SC2 e-sports through creating one of the most popular tournaments with his own funds, as well as managing a team of his own. While sometimes harsh and outspoken, this was also something that made him an excellent critic of videogames from the perspective of the consumer, and really helped many indie devs get their chance in the spotlight.
One has to respect the high standards he set in game reviews and in trying to further e-sports.
RIP.
