Yep. I have a disability myself and have been bullied my whole life, so seeing a success story for someone who was bullied is wonderful. He seems like an amazing guy.

Fuck that story tugged at my heartstrings. Awesome display of compassion... let's not even speak of the human trash that bullied the guy
The part that really gets me is:
"ok i wont talk"
"sorry"
Like, even if they didn't continue to be treat him like shit and everyone moved on with their lives, it just sucks that he even felt the need to say that in the first place.
Another thing that is quite heavy is that the people who gave him shit weren't even that toxic about it, but that just sort of makes it worse, you know? Like, they didn't even think much of it, and didn't feel particularly strong about that, just called him a troll and ignored him, later kicking him out of the match. Just treated it naturally.
They did apologize to him, though, so that's kind of cool.
I think he needs a transplant, but yeah, they can.

I can understand why they'd think he's trolling at first but to vote kick him afterwords takes a real dickhead.
They should give him a sub button already, I'd give him my amazon prime's trial's month's sub.

Yeah, after he stopped talking and explained over the text chat what was his problem they should have stopped. When someone is trolling doesn't act that way.
Apparently two of them have already apologized (read this on a YT comment, so take with a grain of salt), and the guy who started the vote ban has been banned from ESEA for a year.

Wooooooow.
In the Kotaku article he said that his mom was literally on the phone today with a clinic in SoCal to get him set up for eye surgery that he couldn't get before because they wouldn't take his insurance.
And he's planning a trip for his family to go back to Algeria.
Damn internet, you done so good.

Man, watching the video of how it unfolded was just heartbreaking. I'm really happy he got to have this wonderful experience, and hopefully it keeps going better for him. And I'm glad he was able to get the money to hopefully help him with his condition. Watching his play was incredibly impressive, it's amazing he can play that well, let alone with his condition.
I'd love to hear what his mom thinks of how things have unfolded and the outpouring of support. I bet she's been in tears since it started.

It's certainly upsetting to see someone treated that way but the reality is that this is how people treat people in online communities, regardless of disability.
It's why a lot of people I know stay in parties or private channels. People are hateful, not because you're disabled, but because they're simply hateful people. It's likely that he could have any any number of ideosyncracies and they would have responded in the same way. If you're a different race, gender, have a different accent, pitch, express ideas, play in a way they dislike, then you're opening yourself up to potential abuse.
People don't think about the person behind the avatar, and that's a simple fact. It's also one that you can't easily remedy.

Wow, that is incredible. Getting tears of joy reading that. The kindness of the internet knows no bounds when good people pull together to do something great. It can be quite the monster when there's blood in the water that draws in trolls, but when it reaches good, kind people, the love can be quite overwhelming.

This is what I'm saying. These stories really make me emotional man, much more than they used to, probably because hatred and negativity is so ubiquitous these days that positivity seems a rare commodity in the face of it.
Wonderful story, guy truly deserves it.

saw this kind of behavior (and worse) in almost every game i've played of cs:go, including match made games with a full team. I don't know what it is about CS that attracts those kinds of attitudes.
He is streaming right now for everyone who wants to send him some love:

Probably because CSGO is more about teamwork than anything else so weirdly people are more hostile if they think you're dragging down the team. Plus everything is based on winning so, say, you get someone on your team that goes 2-14 in a half without making any calls then they're probably going to get a lot of shit. Like, I've kicked people who wouldn't use mic or even type out any calls since, at least on ESEA, I'd rather get a random new player who likely does one of those things.
Definitely different in this case though. Loop is solid and communicates when he's not being harassed. No reason for anybody to kick him or even say anything negative.

I subbed to his twitch watching him play now. I'll try to donate too.

Oh I get the team dependent aspect, but its evident even in pubs where rankings don't even matter. Back in 1.6 servers generally had admins often enough to just kick the horrible people, rather than giving everyone the power to vote someone out, which often times they did nothing to deserve it.
