It's kinda sad that all these awards come down to you picking on someone who is down/failed etc. Contrasting this to the upcoming HLTV awards which seem to come from a celebratory place really suggests to me how broken you are on the inside. I remember you saying on stream you tried to kill yourself a couple years back so clearly you were going through mental problems and judging from your recent unhinged behaviour on stream and lashing out at people who were once friends I think you still are, I hope you get better soon Rich.

Obviously you're not the brightest so I'll avoid insulting you beyond that due to your impairment. The introduction to the awards explicitly explained that they are an alternative to all the self congratulations people do at the end of the esports year. They were also started in 2010 so I don't really know how that fits into your hilariously bad armchair psychoanalysis.

Would love to hear more about this recent "unhinged behaviour" that has happened on stream. Please list the examples.

What a sane comment, no sign of mental retardation at all

It's low brow to bring up someone's struggles with mental health if you actually care about them.

We all go through it at some point.

I, for one, AM celebrating the failures of the grifters who are actively exploiting the "celebratory" environment contrived out of thin air by the stooges at HLTV and basically every other esports publication...it's almost like this is done for marketing purposes, for the sake of brief, impulsive, short-term profiteering instead of long-term sustainment that can last generations and give the best players an environment to thrive in and prove themselves...esports is great i love esports gimme more PLEASE uh ohhh buh-bye EG oopsie doodles!

grumpy, irreverent contrarians are pretty valuable, turns out

the full extent of his "unhinged" behavior on stream lately has been some benign complaints about going through the motions of uprooting and moving house...all the angry rants are aimed directly at saudi and the esports industry as a whole and he's been going out of his way to very optimistically take note of the support he's had from his audience from multiple sources and revenue streams...i watch every stream, as he's already requested, please help us out and pinpoint his "unhinged" behavior

I would say that this won Gonzo Awards of worst comment but I've seen way worse this year.

I'll see you in "you speak your brains".

Next year let's see an "Evil Geniuses Award" for most mismanaged organization.

A humorous sendup and well-earned accomplishment for EG. A shame that Alex Garfield's meteoric project was bungled totheLaPointe of failure.
