As demoralizing as it sounds, gambling is what introduced me to league of legends. I will never forget Danny paying my rent 2 years ago when he won LCS. I hope EG management rots in hell for the mistreatment he got from them.

Unfortunately Nicole LaPointe Jameson made off like a bandit, got a fat check for her role in the mismanagement of the talent and somehow has escaped any backlash. 100% if she was not a black female but a white male she would have been run outta town without a penny to her name. She had the nerve to blame Danny for "Not expressing actual complaints" to the EG staff or management. In her own words "I know people want an apology. But, as of now, I have nothing to apologize for."

That EG roster with Danny and Jojo was probably my favorite roster of all time too :( it always felt like they were never out regardless of how behind they got early due to the faith in Danny's team fighting

I say live, you say evil! LIVE!!! EVIL!!! LIVE!!! 😢💔 (same bro...be glad you lived and loved those moments.)

The only one who cared about him are his team mates and the coaching staff. I hope Kyle is doing well now.

The Warren Buffet of Esports, She really cut us short of the most promising NA player in over a decade. It's sad we lost that one gem we NA needed as hopeful shine of bright new light.

Danny is a legend. I wish him the best

That tweet sent from Danny’s account was truly the nail in the coffin. I have never read a more “gun to your head” social media post in my life

So they're just evil and aren't geniuses?

It is a shame that such a bright career was so short. I will always remember his Baron steal and penta-kill against TL - it felt like that was the play that gave EG the momentum to beat TL and eventually win the 2022 Spring Finals. I am glad that such an epic moment was played on a big stage like the NRG stadium!

Danny would have unarguably become the NA goat if his needs were taken seriously. The world lost someone who could've taken NA to a world championship because of EG's mismanagement. I hope he's doing ok now.

As a former teacher and subsequent SPED educator, this could have been avoided if they just drop 4k and hire a specialist care giver for SPED children. Danny doesn't just have autism, he has Asperger's, you can't hold them in the same light as normal people. Something like having the same meal every day might seem like a temper tantrum to normal people, but it's just the way their brain is wired. If the org already know his pre-existing condition, it should be known what would happen if they don't draft up a consistent routine just for him specifically. Everything else afterwards is straight up lethargy from handling a SPED kid so EG start mistreating him because they know he's easy to pushover. Idk the laws in US, but if this happened in Germany, the government and outside organizations would have went after EG hard.

In layman terms, it's the same as asking a guy with no legs adapt to kicking the ball when you're not even providing them prosthetic legs. It's a whole different thing if he hid his condition and it came out later, but They HIRED him KNOWING he had Aspergers. By contract and by law, you MUST cater to him.

He plays lost ark at a pretty high level nowadays.

putting subtitles of what you're saying every other sentence killed this vid

i didn't watch much lcs but when i saw him play Danny was a god im sad they he was exploited by such scum and put under such pressure i hope he is doing well now no one deserves to go through that

Thank you for making this video!! I was an EG fan and watching his breakout split is my favorite era of lol esports since like 2014 C9. I have heard bits and pieces of this story but a nice cohesive breakdown like this was great. Danny deserved better. One has to imagine he couldve had a long and prosperous career in lol esports if not for EG ruining him. Hope the guys doing better nowadays

thank you so much for this video, i always wondered what happened i had no idea all of this actually happened

I miss Danny!! He was the reason I started to get super excited for LCS again. poor kid.

As tragic as it is that especially in the west the biggest problem with LoL eSports by far is the horrible organizations and the exploitation of players, at the same time that couldn't possibly be more fitting for League and riot games.

Danny should have been allowed to develop in the NA goat. Made that EG tram look better than they had any right to be.

I was there at the LCS finals weekend and witnessed his penta at baron against TL (my favorite team😢) I hate what happened to him. He had such a bright amd strong career ahead of him.

Danny was one of the few LCS players i actually liked. He was always respectful and humble

Danny was such a star. I’m so sad he is not in the lcs anymore. I hope he is doing well.

The fact that EG is still allowed to compete in any esport is infuriating

He was the closest I could say to a young Doublelift/Stixxay he was just that good.

happy to see you got a sponsor on this vid! i love your vids

One of NA's best Adc talents in recent years and the org throws him away....what a joke

I can see that you showed a lot of effort with how you edited this video :O

Typical shady business companies. Care more about their image and not think about how their view impacts other people

Ask yourself this why did management stop caring when they won? because it wasnt benefiting the investors.. this is a huge problem with franchising.

The most fitting name of all time. Danny is the biggest what if of the LCS. If he joined C9 or TL he's the new Doublelift or Sneaky

You just pump out banger after banger! So good, but please be careful for bornout, maybe take a step back

He had one of the most insanely good rookie splits performace wise. Was awesome to watch. I fell in the middle with the controversy part of Danny's story. I think EG's upper management are greedy and lack empathy but that's pretty much any company tbh. Danny should have been benched earlier, that's on them for not allowing it. He had the money to seek mental health resources which he should have done imo. I don't think EG are this terrible org like some do, they just suck at the very top as so many others companies do as well. Another banger video btw.

100 thieves ruined Danny. They constantly camped him with 3 people and Danny’s teammates weren’t able to punish the constant ganks.

So my take is going forward teams will no longer take on people with mental disabilities to prevent any of this from happening in the future. It's a business, you get paid to play a video game and if you're the star of the team they expect you to put in the hours to stay that way and encourage the others to do the same. Should they have had people to help him? Yes, however that's more $ so I can understand the business (org) in this point as well. There is a reason you don't see any mental disability players in pro league of legends in LCK LPL LEC and as far as im aware LCS (major regions). It's business they don't want to pay extra when they're already paying players absurd amounts of money to begin with to play a game. EDIT: I know this sounds really harsh, I liked Danny he could of been the best ADC NA has ever seen if he kept playing but the reality is "Real World" Business will always win.

to be fair Danny was overrated. I mean his competition in NA were a super passive and washed DL, WildTurtle, Lost, Tactical the best being FBI an OCE import..

This doesn't sound like EG's fault at all lol. It sounds like Danny is a mental breakdown waiting to happen, regardless of how comfortable he was. He couldnt take the pressure, period.

You're delusional and compassionless. The issue wasn't actually that he couldn't handle the pressure to perform, he had the skills, ability, and desire to perform and he showed it repeatedly. The real issue was that the team stopped doing anything to accommodate him in any way and quit caring about their player when he got the MSI result and then began outright mistreating him. Upper management actively and willfully worsened his mental state and then people like you draw the conclusion that he just couldn't handle it and that he was a 'mental breakdown in waiting' when in fact he could handle it if the organization just gave him a little bit like they did at the beginning. They didn't hold up their end of the bargain and they robbed the LCS of one of its best players.

This is just untrue. He couldn't function with what the team was giving him, desire has no part in it. He was never lazy even when the organization was actively going out of their way to make the situation untenable. Don't dismiss somebody not being able to function in an environment because of decisions made by the org as laziness; it's way more serious and way more insidious by EG than that.

People are just rewriting history lol he was one of the worst performing members on that team, stats don’t lie

DANNY was, if I may say this bluntly... Limp wristed. Clear as day, you can see he was a soft soy drinking, stay in a bubble type of dude. He seemed to be gay, and EG I highly doubt did anything wrong. EG wasn't going to "entertain" Danny with his probably "particular" ways and his want's on a day to day basis. This is clear to see.
