Gabriël “Bwipo” Rau took to Twitter to nudge the fans into the right frame of mind regarding T1's management change news. The Belgian League of Legends superstar found it necessary to reset fans' kneejerk reactions towards the big news. He also offered a much-needed perspective on this monumental update.

The statement contained paragraphs urging fans to take a step back and remember why they chose to follow T1 in the first place. This is a grounded response to hearing any shocking news. Bwipo doesn't even play in the same region as T1 but he's still looking out for one of the most successful teams in the game.

“In the first case, if you can't find the patience and willingness to believe in your team's decisions, perhaps it is time to reconsider what made you follow T1”

Bwipo's statement seems to have been spurred by negativity directed towards someone he respected. The statement continued to state that Bwipo even requested Fnatic management to try and have him help their team. The Fnatic Top Laner remained steadfast in his stance by reminding fans of just how difficult T1 has fought in the past. He also mentioned the challenges the management had to face in order to handle their players.

Bwipo's statement is an exercise in class. He never needed to make any statement about an international team. The fact that he went out of his way to clear the air shows how much he values the industry. Fans oftentimes react harshly to sudden changes to their favorite teams. Bwipo has not only addressed that possibility but chose to respond in a mild-mannered way.

Bwipo wrapped up his statement in a brief Tweet following his initial post. Hopefully, Bwipo will be a paragon for all other esports professionals to follow.
