TotalBiscuit to be Inducted into eSports Hall of Fame as First Non-Player

John Peter Bain, best known by his internet handle TotalBiscuit, will be inducted into the eSports Hall of Fame later this month.

According to ESL Gaming, Bain will be inducted during the ESL One Hamburg 2018 eSports event on the end of October. This will be the first time a "non-player" is inducted. Not to say he doesn't play games, but that he is not a professional eSports player. All the same, his influence over the scene is clear. From managing to commentating, Bain became a household name for StarCraft 2 and Dota 2 alike. He even formed his own StarCraft 2 team, Axiom.

"His influence on the esports scene can not be understated as his passion and support helped drive various competitive titles towards the heights they reached today. He left behind a body of work unmatched by any other while still managing to give a voice to indie scenes and breakout players."

Bain passed away on May 24, 2018, at the age of 33. He had struggled with cancer, which ultimately overtook him. The induction will be a post-humorous act of respect. Anyone familiar with his work will no doubt agree with the decision.
