He deleted both his Reddit account and Twitter account due to djWheat confronting him after posting his "Elistist BW eSports view" on Reddit. djWheat accosted him on the Reddit thread and argued with him via Twitter, which ended up w/ Milkis deleting both accounts. (Continuing down this line of thinking that Milkis cannot handle confrontation and is far too concerned with people's opinions of him.)

And I don't want to be a debbie downer here, but knowing Milkis, I would not be surprised to see him announce something along the lines of "I'm quitting this eSports gig" thing tomorrow. Which is sad, but a guestimation that I doubt falls far from the truth.

Quoting for validity and info.

You can find djWheat's reddit criticisms as top rated comment, there were also things said between them on Twitter.

That wasn't the rage of redditors, it was the rage of esports fans.

Yeah, that ... wasn't just Reddit. He spoke out of turn and managed to offend pretty much everyone who's a fan of a competitive game that's not Brood War. =/

You don't deserve this fan-club anymore. You no longer have a place in the eSport community by your own definition.

He deleted everything,

OP consider the same, or altering it to maybe by a pseudo post-humous thing.

don't let the haters get to you. there will always be haters when you've reached a degree of success. this is especially true on the internet because there is no face to face interaction, which allows everyone to voice their opinions as rudely as they please. try not to take any of it too personally.

that being said, there are plenty of people that appreciate what you do for Esports. it is completely understandable to be nervous when there are hundreds of thousands of people watching. Most of the people bashing you would not be able to stammer out a sentence under that kind of pressure.

stay healthy and positive man. E-sports can take a hell of a lot out of you if you let it.

Milkis before you leave, consider this fanclub and how many people are out here supporting you. Think about it. In what other sport is a translator more popular than many pros who actually play the game. In fact you might be the only translator in all the internet with a fanclub. When you are in the spotlight there are going to be critics and haters. Everyone has them. Nestea, Artosis, even Boxer.
