Report: Overwatch Contender Player Who Stepped Down Admits That She Was Not The One Playing

[Deleted member 18944]

Rod Breslau AKA Slasher has reported via Twitter that Ellie has stated in private messages to her teammates that she has not been the one playing and that she is 17 years old. He also reports that Second Wind had no knowledge of this and that Blizzard is holding a meeting with the team.



Update 1: Cloud 9 Streamer "Aspen" says that the whole situation was a "social experiment."
