During his recent Overwatch 2 stream sponsored by Blizzard, Tyler "Tyler1" was hit with a warning about his in-game behavior. The incident, which happened as he started the livestream, went viral after fans shared it extensively over social media as the streamer tried to hide the warning after reading it to his audience.
Clearly embarrassed by getting a strike for toxic behavior on a stream sponsored by the very developers of the game, Tyler1 tried to move past the warning message by closing down the game stream and saying:
Getting ready to start a sponsored stream, Tyler opened the popular hero-shooter from Blizzard with the aim of talking about the recent update. Instead of the normal main menu, the Twitch streamer was faced with a warning from the game, asking him to rectify his recent in-game behavior.
He even read part of the message before moving the game’s screen away from the live stream:
At this point, Tyler1 decided that he should not be showing or reading such a message on the stream and thanked Blizzard for the sponsorship. He then went on a rant about how his competitiveness may sometimes be misconstrued by teammates for toxicity. He also explained that if players don't get mad when they lose in a competitive setting, they don't care enough about the game:
Tyler1 then moved on from the topic and started talking about the brand new season of Overwatch 2 with the addition of the new hero Ramttra, among other things.
