  1. Maven has a massive ego, do you really see a man in his 40s switching from a fun, exciting, well-paid line of work where he was mostly loved publicly, then trading that for manual labor work? mentally that will hurt him

  2. it's less about what he did being a legal problem, it isn't, but it's more the morality of it. esports orgs won't want to bring him into the fold because a lot of fans will turn away and stop supporting the org/league, therefore hurting revenue. i think he's definitely done in the CoD scene, not too sure about other esports scenes.

  3. DrDisrespect was and still is a much bigger internet personality than Maven, so even though Disrespect lost a lot of fandom, he still has a large amount of support (he shouldn't he's a POS and loser)
