TobiWan has stated he’ll officially no longer be a public figure in esports following multiple sexual misconduct allegations against him. <\/p>\n
Last week, a number of women accused the Dota 2 caster of various sexual harassment<\/a> and misconduct allegations – including Dota cosplayer Meruna<\/a>. <\/p>\n TobiWan issued a response on June 25th which acknowledged some of the accusations, apologising to one unidentified woman who “had to endure the pressure of unwanted advances”. <\/p>\n TobiWan has since released a new statement announcing his departure from esports altogether, while claiming his personal history has been “stripped of all context” and “warped with fiction”. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I have taken time before I released this so I could be away from the social pressure of individuals and the community at large, to reflect on the situation,” the statement reads.<\/p>\n “It has been horrifying watching my personal history being stripped of all context, warped with fiction then presented to the internet as fact. Even more disturbing is the speed at which one side of the story was accepted as fact. <\/p>\n
