The departure of Nate Nanzer from OWL led to irreconcilable creative and philosophical differences between myself and the league’s current leadership, and all parties will be better served by parting ways. (2/12)

What's next for me? I have been granted exciting opportunities to produce esports content and broadcasts in accordance with my own vision, standards, and fifteen years of endemic industry expertise. (3/12)

This means that I will not only continue to perform as on-camera talent, but I will also broaden my skill-set as a creative director and producer. I will be able to share more details on my new projects in the coming weeks. (4/12)

As I depart, I want to give special thanks to Nate Nanzer (@natenanzer), Mike Morhaime (@mikemorhaime), Amy Morhaime, Marisa Palumbo (@marisa522), and Kiki Aitken who brought me into OWL. (5/12)

I also want to express my gratitude to my casting/desk/hosting colleagues for creating the special, cooperative, and fun atmosphere that shone through on camera. I am extremely grateful for our camaraderie and the opportunity to work with a wealth of industry veterans. (6/12)

A final thank you goes to the fabulous development team, particularly Jeff Kaplan and Scott Mercer for our many conversations and the thoughtfulness put into all your decisions. (7/12)

Leaving behind the synergy we created through our shared sense of humor and thoughtful style is the saddest part of departing OWL. I am confident we will, however, find many ways to continue working together in the future. (9/12)

Unfortunately, my departure from @overwatchleague means that I will be suspending production of OverSight with my co-host @Thooorin and will cease creating Overwatch-focused analysis and power rankings on my personal channel. (10/12)

Although I enjoy making these videos, the low demand for supplementary OWL content means that my energies are best used elsewhere. (11/12)
