Getting fired is never fun, but it\u2019s even worse when you find out via Tweet. Sang-min \u201cMyunb0ng\u201d Seo, support player for New York\u2019s Overwatch<\/em> League team, found out he wasn\u2019t going to be playing in this or any other week\u2019s games when his organization bid farewell to him in a tweet<\/a>. Roster changes in the OWL are usually announced via tweet, so this wasn\u2019t out of the ordinary. Problem is, it seems like no one told Seo of his release beforehand. He responded to the farewell tweet with question marks, seemingly confused.<\/p>\n

He also quote-tweeted the announcement with another question mark<\/a>, seemingly confirming the idea that he hadn\u2019t known this was coming.<\/p>\n

This particular revelation inspires a big ol\u2019 \u201coof\u201d because a couple of hours before tweeting about Seo\u2019s release, the New York Excelsior tweeted a welcome<\/a> for its newest support player, Soon-jae \u201cAnsoonjae\u201d Jae. So, ostensibly, Seo saw the announcement and was in the process of welcoming a support line comrade, unaware that said comrade would be taking his place. Damn.<\/p>\n

New York Excelsior apologized on Wednesday for the situation. \u201cToday, we posted an announcement thanking Myunb0ng for his time with us, however we failed to properly communicate with the team before this announcement was made,\u201d the team wrote on Twitter<\/a>. \u201cWe take full responsibility and there are no excuses. To Myunb0ng, we are deeply sorry for our miscommunication and putting you through this situation.\u201d <\/p>\n

Fans responded to Seo\u2019s tweets with shock, hoping that this was not how a player truly found out about his release. But even if it were, Seo wouldn\u2019t be in poor company. There are numerous stories in meat sports where players find out about being dropped or traded via tweet and a host of other unsavory ways<\/a>. Still kinda stings, though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
