It is a sad day that we lose a man that gave us so many good shows.
Even if I felt like his role as a host on Unfiltered wasn't enough to keep Lewis in check at times and the somewhat weird adventure to making it a eSports wide show he gave us CONSISTENT content.

Best of luck ChannelMan

Chanman, needless to say this is sad news for many of us. But I want to speak on behalf of many within the "silent majority" in saying that we truly appreciate everything you did for this community and many others. I support and respect you in your decision to focus more on your life, because you put in so much time into all of your shows. In fact it seemed like so much time that I don't even know how you had time for family at all!

Even though there was overlap, Unfiltered was the show that for me, kind of took over after State of the Game ended (at least being a weekly thing). And I remember the viewership being extremely small a while back, but what I respect the most about what you did was the fact that you stuck with it. And it became something! You are proof that someone relatively unknown but who is passionate about something within a scene can actually contribute in great ways, and that is something I will never forget.

I know I'll be watching vods of your stuff for a long time. You gave a platform for some great people to talk. I would have never known about Richard Lewis and his great work if not for the show because I mostly pay attention to Starcraft stuff. I already knew about Destiny, but it was so cool to hear his opinions on stuff too.

Good luck Chanman, and thank you so much for everything. <3

Retiring from doing those shows or retiring from the scene completely? I mean... ChanMan still casting hearthstone tournaments? ChanMan still playing hearthstone (semi) competitively? Can anyone fill me in on the information I've missed? Didn't get to watch today's show

You will be missed Chanman, your shows were the best non bullshit shows out there along side with Lo3 imo.
And I hope RLewis and Destiny will host their own show or something, love listening to them.

Edit: Listening to the last show atm.

This is so sad.
I remember that recent post-DH episode when it look like Chris was on a ridiculous high (with the big casting gig). I imagine the ensuing drama taking a lot out of him. I feel terrible as a "silent viewer" now, because watching Unfiltered has become routine and I've taken it for granted.

Hopefully everyone in the show reads all comments and understand they were beloved. You guys made my weekdays a bit more enjoyable and best of luck to whatever you do in your future.

Might be worth throwing this into the OP.

EDIT: Announcement starts at the 4 minute mark, apparently it didn't add that in from the link.

He tried for a really long time to become relevant and never really managed to do that. Like others before him he also probably spent a lot of time and money on this stuff.

I would say that he was significantly relevant. His shows were one of the few that I watched in the scene. There's going to be a big gap without him

Never heard of him (at least in the past 3 years), but I do remember a name on Bnet like that which got like over 10000 wins with 0 losses and a few disconnects. The part where the botting was mentioned makes me start to think this was him... and also his age makes me believe it even more.
