Exactly how I feel, never actually talked or played with him but for some reason it’s left me exactly how you said, weird how it’s affected me.... RIP my friend
Same, used to watch him pretty regularly a long time ago. Always got the feeling that he had his demons, and I always wanted him to do good. Was excited when I heard about his game, even though it wasn't a game I would most likely ever play. Maybe the fact that he was pretty open about everything and talked a lot gave you a deeper connect with him. Rest in peace Reckful.
11:27 "I wanted to win so bad..." Hearing these words doesn't just make me think of him caring about WoW but also how he wanted to win his struggle against depression. :'(
Can't help but feel like Blizzard banning Reckful and being adamant about never letting him back contributed to his mental health deteriorating. If he got unbanned and allowed to compete at Blizzcon maybe he'd still be around..
@bmcgmusic it doesn't matter i am still here for you to hate me but reckful was bipolar little things like not making a competition final was tilting for him and made him hate himself. There was a lot of mental illness there and people just abandoned him much like his groupies.
Devil of the Seas He's emotional over something he's passionate about. He was an incredible WoW player and for him, this was something comparatively huge. I was struggling really bad last year, I know where you're coming from, truly I do. I hope things get better for you as well, but putting him down over his career because it differs from your idea of 'fair' per se? That's just low and asinine.
Devil of the Seas The amount of money one has does not determine how happy they will be. To say: "he can't feel pain" merely over the fact he has money shows how narrow-sightedly you're looking at this. He isn't spoiled, either. He earned the money fair and square. Again, I struggle too, but I'm not going to tear at another's success because I don't have what they do.
It's insane that I'm of no relevancy in reckfuls life but hes been such a huge impact in my own, I've seen so many VODs of him getting emotional like this and it really does break my heart. I really wish him nothing but happiness.

I'm actually pissed that blizzard never unbanned him. Someone at blizzard just decided they didn't like him and wanted him banned forever. The game was a huge part of his life, he had all his titles and memorys on those characters.
extreme and that effects you in which way exactly? if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all, but i guess its the other way around in youtube comments

I think they are using someone popular like him as an example to not go against their rules. I doubt they will unban him for whatever reason because of this.
Yes, and he has been serving as an example for the last 8 years. I genuinely believe that if they unban Reckful, that'd be a rather smart move to do. This guy could do great stuff for this community.
Reckful breaking down is heart breaking. He may have lost the competitions but he won me over as a fan always and many others. Long live Reckful miss you and your streams.
I certainly fucking hope that there's no corporate overlord making buck by deliberately destroying my gaming experience in the next life@@mladendenni7062
I wasn't particularly knowledged of how reckful was as a streamer/internet personality but his passing has shattered me into pieces. He must've been so fucking loved by everyone around him but it just sucks when you're really feeling like you're fighting your battles alone. I can see how great of a guy he is. And that really shattered me because I know he's one huge loss to many. Rest in Power, Byron. Your legacy will live through the people you have impacted.
This shows just how real Reckful was. Not a lot of people are as genuine and open as he was. Reckful had the power to make you feel like he was a close friend of yours just by watching his stream. I'm going to miss you a lot man. If you guys reading this have depression and are having a bad day please reach out and talk to someone.
Doesn't seem like you're trying to improve the situation you are in when you cry like a fucking idiot over different videos over the success they've had in life, hope you fucking stick to your rice piece of shit.
I watched reckful for 2 years long when he played WoW and he was the top streamer and most entertaining guy ever so please blizzard give us our king back =(
He’s not banned as a person, he is just banned on some characters he was playing while he was his best and also piloting other peoples accounts. He’s on record saying he did this and it’s not fully cause of that ret scapegoat
I understand the emotion. That was his heyday, and it was brief. He was "one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax." It made him his money and directed the course of his life. How could he not feel strongly about it?
still after years of followership, you are one of the purest human being i ever knew or know of. whatever you are going trough dear byron, know that we absolutely love you
This reminds me of Kobe. He doesn't care about MVPs, he wants titles. Reckful had a championship mind. I just remember him being one of the smartest streamers cause he would speak his mind and strategies to the viewers. Always like 2 or 3 steps ahead of his opponents and competition. Unfortunate God took him away. But legends always die young. He is one of them.
Nothing to do with God my friend. It was toxic piece of shit humans that told a already depressed and suicidal person to go kill himself like his brother did. I hope karma hits those scums who said that to him.
@@murat8210 I feel your pain man, I've cried more times over this than I have in the past few years all together. I grew up with Byron, I played with him, and I played against him. Byron was an inspiring and very relatable person. I think it's best for your health and for everyone who cares about Byron to not wish bad things on people, don't foster their hate inside of you. They may of contributed that day, but Byron's depression was much deeper than randoms on the internet. He was an extremely intelligent person, I'm sure he was able to separate the pain of randoms on the internet and the pain of the real life everyday things he felt. They were a factor but they aren't the reason. Hopefully those people learn their impact, but Byron's depression and suicidal thoughts were much deeper rooted than assholes on twitter. If you've watched him over the last decade, you can see it. You can even see it in one of his very first RU-vid videos. It's been devastating for me. I wish you all the best.
@@murat8210 I know you're mad and rightfully so but lashing out at others only creates a cycle of hate. Byron has diagnosed Bi Polar, I know people with Bi-Polar. The mania and depression swings are real, and sometimes in those uncontrollable depression swings alot can happen... I think using his memory to motivate people to be nicer to each other would be the best way to honor him even though its so damn hard.
You're the best in our hearts. Nothing has topped Reckful 3 to this day imo. Individually you are probably the best WoW player that's ever played. Editing to say you were one of a kind, so authentic and genuine. I'm sorry you had to suffer for so long. Rest in peace x
I watched a lot Whaaz cause everyone says he’s the best blabla. But I just see Pshero better than him. And reckful, was the best at his peak vs Whaaz at his peak, Reckful anyday. Reckful has so many haters it’s incredible, yet he’s just THE rank one, period. To all haters : suck it up, your opinions and hate aren’t fact.
Um..even neilyo was better than him. He absolutely deserved the ban. He constantly fed the teams he played on for MONEY noy because it was fun. He made easily 30k and constantly invited devs like tom Chilton to get carried for
Knowing what happened in the end, the end of this is super super sad. He was calling out for help for years. RIP Reck, you will never be forgotten! TY for your short time on Earth, lots of great memories!
Talkin about the good old days of Wow... man those were some of the most fun times ive ever had on a game. When I saw him cry it brought back the feels of how tight the community was back then. Geez man...
Haven't played in years and this popped up on my feed, what a story, I remember seeing you occasionally throughout season 10, hope to see you in classic fren :)
I remember being on your stream every single day during the wow days and it was you who made me enjoy the game myself. Had such a fucking blast during that time its crazy, been around ever since. FREE RECKFUL. ✌️
With all the blizzard fall-outs going on recently, I got to thinking about this exact moment 11:27, and how blizzard handled his ban. You can see how much all this meant to him time and again, and it's just so unfortunate they didn't reach out. Rest in peace, Reckful.
blizzard goes and bans an actual player that is emotionally attached to the game and loves their game, alot of people got into wow thanks to him, and for the stupidest reason of account sharing just to try a different character. We've all been in someone elses account at somepoint wich makes this even more ridiculous of a reason to permaban. I don't know why but I feel like blizzard is being morally incorrect due to some type of grudge, morality tends do disappear when you hold a grudge. Yet again, why would you hold a grudge against reckful? Such a stupid company decision. Even league unbanned tyler1 for much worse reasons.
"someone elses account" = boosting 200 accounts to glad via accountplay? shut the fuck up. he also did accountplay on fucking stream with r1 players. he shoul've known that accountplay is a nono. instead of creating a new account he cries after his old one. this guy has some ego issues. if he really wants to play the game again he should get a new account.
"knowing this rich fuck" - Lol stopped reading after this. What a fucking excuse. You're calling him rich, obviously because you're poor and you're poor because you're a fucking loser who isn't as smart as he is.
Lmao you're dumb. He can get another account. If you get banned you can simply buy the game again. The reason he doesn't is because he wants his old account back, and because of principle. Eitherway you're a horrible person for hating someone simply because he's rich. He's done plenty of charity streams (like many other people) and his stream is also ad-free. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you deserve the money more, Byron is a great person and whether he deserves his money or not doesn't matter, because he earned all of it, just like you can do too if you were smart, but nope.
He says at the very end, "I'm fine." But he was obviously not fine. He was emotional and hurt. When people suffer from depression, they don't process being emotional or hurt in a typical way. Byron is gone, far too soon. We need to de-stigmatize mental health awareness and provide resources to people who are hurt and depressed. RIP Reckful. This is a reminder to hug and care for those you love and make every day count.
I just hope you are in a better place now and if there is no such thing atleast the depression wont get to bother you anymore. Thanks for all moments i could relate to and the ones that inspired me. I wish your family can overcome this in the best way possible and your friends aswell. It was a pleasure to follow you from the start to finish and you wont be forgotten. I hope you find your peace of mind now. Rest well reckful
Reckful if I could go back and comment on this video I would've a long time ago. It's okay that you lost, you're still one of the goats if not the goat. There's always more tournaments and you can always get good again. Just cause you fail doesn't mean its over. You get back up and try again but harder! I love you and miss you bud the world was not ready to lose you. Miss you forever always... Maybe i'll get to meet you one day.
I wonder if lowkey he had bad blood with blizzard. Because he always seems to mention them. I wish they didn't ban him for so long maybe two years instead of however long it was. R.I.P Byron wish we could've played wow you're still a huge inspiration.
I always watched your videos & streams since 2013. When I felt lonely and depressed, I just watched your content and felt at ease. Rest in Peace Byron, you will never be forgotten. I will never forget you.
I’m 15 now. I started wow when I was 8. They banned my guild leader for some bullshit reason. Guild falls apart after being started day one of wow. I haven’t played since the day he was banned a few years ago.
luismiguel gonzalez was Swifty a rogue that may have played on Sentinels server back in Lich King? Just wondering I raided with someone by that name. He was always trying to recruit me... Meh who knows
People can clown on him for getting emotional, but for anyone who played tbc or wrath this dude was an absolute enigma and his life is seriously connected to wow. Man card not revoked. Legend.
Damn he really loves WoW, Blissard do something right for once in your life and unban this man You were still good when you played legion beta, you can get rank 1 again bro
I’ve never heard of this guys till I got caught up in an Asmogold reacts video playlist and having him give some commentary and a little more exposition was helpful. I’m totally new to this scene but I’ve played WoW since Vanilla, but hearing this guy talk about the game and showing his passion and determination to win and failing to, then to find out he’s been permabanned from the game was crushing. As an outsider to the pvp scene, Rektful’s comeback is like a Rocky story, one I’d be down to see, seeing him talk about the game has made me interested in the pvp scene and watching it at Blizzcon, but only if he’s there. If he has a chance to get there that is. It’s an amazing story and if he came back I’d watch him, even though I’ve never watched WoW pvp content before ever. I like who this guy is and his perseverance. I wish I could have watched him in his prime or at least watch him try a huge comeback. If he did he’d have my support, I for one am someone who believes everyone deserves a second chance, and this guy right here deserves one. If I was a WoW GM or in control of permabanned accounts I’d have a hard time not giving this dude a second chance, for redemption. But hey, that’s all wishful thinking. I’m glad you shared your story man. I know what it’s like to be so close to winning something and failing, so I know how that feels. I for one would love to see you do a comeback if that was possible.
No, watched him since the day he started 2012, and never seen him cry much. Maybe he just had a super emotional day or was on some new medication? idk anymore lol. its no big deal though, Reckful has always been real and honest!
Michael Neerotic He just randomly has a burst of emotions that's all. It's happened to me before, where you just think about something that's happened in the past or something you're passionate about.
But he has talked about these things for years on stream without the same reaction, and he cried 4 times or something last stream?, You get that as well? some days u just cry a lot?
I think even though he was trying to make it sound as light hearted as possible it still affected him for a long time. tournaments like that will weigh on you for a long time especially if you felt like you had it in the bag.
The crazy part he's not the only victim of rank 1 , I remember partying with blizzcon champion is south Korea and it's just a tournament, sc2 pros understand it way more than wow players , no need to lose ur head over it wish I had the chance to talk to reckful
Reckful was my inspiration when i started playing WoW... my dream was to be a god warrior in arenas like him... dude, i cried too... coudnt hold the tears...
