BriMikon United States82 Posts May 24 2019 22:34 GMT #24 This is a great read, thanks for taking the time to write it, Wax. Rest in peace TotalBiscuit. No one was as hyped about esports as you. We are thankful for you.

Destructicon 4713 Posts May 24 2019 23:06 GMT #26 TotalBiscuit was as close to a real life hero as you can get. I have only the greatest admiration for him, for all the help he gave to so many people, for restoring their hope and allowing us to enjoy this wonderful game. The world needs more heroes like him, not some make-believe all talk and no action personas, but people who actually try to make a difference. Rest in peace John.

[F_]aths Germany3947 Posts May 24 2019 23:59 GMT #29 I remember the time Axiom was formed, and how it disbanded. Took it as a given, they make a team, well did not last forever. In retrospective I feel I did not follow it as closely as I should have. TB produced so much content on SC2 alone, I followed it only partially. There were some stories how he and Genna cared about Axiom, for example gifting Ipads to the players. Oh how nice. But it still was like this was a given. TB was there and he demonstrated a different way. It felt normal. I remember his last Blizzcon appearance (on stream.) Visibly weakened, I still believed he would survive. He had only a couple of month to live. I remember his public message, a kind of this public part of his testament. Still thought, ah it is surely not that bad. Then the news came.

BisuDagger Bisutopia19219 Posts May 25 2019 00:21 GMT #34 This was beautiful. And we are still blessed with Genna in the chat rooms during SC2 and Brood War games. Her love for the games continues too. Thanks to everyone involved in Axiom and this story.

WombaT Northern Ireland24604 Posts May 25 2019 01:07 GMT #35 What a man, thanks for this. I think people forget there was a sizeable skeptic group about this guy mostly known for WoW when he first entered the scene, we have many qualities as a community but a tendency to elitism is one of our worst. I think it’s testament to his passion and actions that the idea of TB not being a respected pillar of the community seems laughable. He is remembered most fondly for his ability to entertain, that few have. Perhaps he should equally be lauded for his ability to treat his charges decently, an ability open to many but exercised by too few in this industry.

fastr France901 Posts May 25 2019 02:25 GMT #36 Thank you for this beautiful tribute to one of the most important man to the game we love. His passion, his dedication, his tenacity, his generosity will be remembered by the hundred of thousands of people that he impacted for the better, and we are forever grateful for what he brought to the world. At a time when a lot of household names vanished overnight with no explanations as the game's popularity faltered, TotalBiscuit stayed, endured, persevered, and he remained a pillar of the community from his humble beginning to the bitter end. John once famously said on a twitch stream back in 2014 "SC2 will live even if I have to support the entire scene with my erect penis". 6 years later, John may be gone but StarCraft 2 is alive and well, in a big part thanks to him. TotalBiscuit, may your legacy live forever.
