A bit more backstory on this guy. He was an "MVP" on the Blizzard forums, a distinction given to people who were active on the tech support section of the forums. All of their posts appeared in a special green text, which often caused people to confuse them with mods and developers. This guy in particular spent I'd estimate basically 3-5 years essentially LARPing as a Blizzard employee on the forums, doing free labor for Blizzard like putting together official sounding news threads and just generally shilling. Basically a janny, except without even the power to delete posts. Apparently the years of blizzdroning paid off and he got the job.
Not sure if he's actually a tranny though or if it's just some weird streaming persona, because he appears to use his male name on the job, and a woke company like blizzard wouldn't give a fuck if he tried to use something else.
Apparently there's a bit more to the story too. Apparently this guy was very ironically hatewatching some small streamer and made a clip called "Deliberate idling and allowing themselves to be killed," presumably collecting evidence to justify banning him. Blizzard has established some kind of content creator NDA program recently and it seems like they're going after the streamers who don't want to play by their rules, or maybe this is just some weird personal vendetta and this guy is doing this in his free time.
Here is the clip of the "idling"
A basic play by play for people who aren't familiar with the game. They are on defense, the enemy just captured the checkpoint, and most of his team is dead. He probably won't be able to retreat successfully, so his best play is to die on purpose so he can respawn with his teammates. Instead of just running in to die right away, he instead tries to go for a cheap kill by firing explosives at people entering the chokepoint, so he stands still watching the left chokepoint, but they enter through the right chokepoint, so he dies in the time it takes to turn around and start shooting.
And here is the same mod in some other streamer's twitch chat letting them know not to appeal their ban. (I don't know if blizzard pays people to watch random twitch streams of their game and act like a janitor or what)
