Today Chris "ChanmanV" Chan announced his retirement. For three years, Chanman ran shows like "Pro Corner," "Climbing The Ladder," as well as "Value Town," "Wednesday Night Sprites," and "Unfiltered."

Chris was a diligent, consistent worker who ran his shows for a long time with low viewers and provided countless hours of entertainment for those in the StarCraft scene and later on in the Hearthstone community.

Over time, his shows gradually became better known and gained many viewers. While he did make a mistake with using bot accounts to get banned from Reddit, fans and the community viewed Chanman and his many years of contribution favorably.

At TL, we wish him luck in his future endeavors and hope he stays in the scene if his shows do not continue.

Pity. He's been a great source of content across many games for quite a few years. But, of course, as he's quickly approaching 40, he may just have other priorities now.

Either way, he will be dearly and sorely missed by the community.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Well this is sad. I looked forward to seeing unfiltered every week. His reason for stopping is understandable. I hope Richard Lewis continues doing some shows of some sort he's always makes interesting points while being entertaining.

Aw damn that sucks. But perhaps Unfiltered doesn't have to die with him, maybe Destiny could pick it up as the host or something. But regardless, good luck Channelman!

How else am I going to get through my Tuesdays now....

Seriously the most depressing news for me personally all month.

Can we pay ChanmanV 100 dollars/show or something?

I mean 3K people watches it. If all of us just pitch in 1 dollar per week.....

Wowow that is really sad to hear. This guy had so much dedication to the scene and put up with a lot of crap, and through all the drama stayed strong and provided content to us all.

I wish him luck in the future, and thank you for everything.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.
