Taylor Robertson.
He had a wife and son. He was previously featured on Madden America and seemed like a good guy.
may he rest in peace.

There are probably about 8-12 guys in the Madden e-sport that can make a reasonable living at it.
The guy right now most regularly considered the best player in the world is Michael Skimbo and I believe he has made about $130,000-$160,000 or so in the last year. Maybe only 3 guys have made as much as 3 figures. Others can make additional funds with sponsored YouTube channels.
Otherwise, the other players are most often those wildly pursuing a dream they are likely never to achieve, sometimes practicing as much as 10 hours every single day. They give up their possible futures to go after something that has limited dollars, but also that they will age out of being good at by the time they are 26.
Edit:. And I am in no way making any excuses for what happened, but there is usually a lot of smack talk/ chirping that goes on at these tournaments.
Probably, but again the Bills tournament was something , likely the only thing, that he won.
I don't like seeing him associated with the Bills either, but showing a high school photo (if they had it) doesn't give the viewer a sense of who he is.
When we see photos of lance Armstrong he's usually on a bike.
Not all Madden tournaments are the same, but there was/is a madden tournament wherein throughout the year each team would host a tournament and would have the winner be their champion that competed against all the other clubs. I almost went to the buffalo tournament to watch.
I follow madden, and after he became the Bills champion he was a surprise winner in the first round of the team championship before getting knocked out in the round of 16. I remember seeing it on Madden America on the NFL week.
I guess maybe since it was the only thing he ever achieved it may have been the only photo quickly available.
you can see the tracing laser on the innocent young man before the shots are fired.
just simply and completely terrible.
Us Madden players know he is speaking the truth.
Regardless of them coming off a playoff year I believe they are the third lowest rated roster in the League in Madden 19...I thought we were going to get a break this year, but no. I don't believe they've been rated higher than 83 in any Madden season this century.
It's a shame really as they have Allen playing with a high rated Shady, a reasonably rated Benjamin, and then you have Clay, Kerley, Zay and Coleman as you speedster. In that game it is a nice look that you can do things with...but the line sucks.
Man, EJ fumbled for the second game in a row and cook was terrible.
Thst said, respectfully I don't think the Jets first and a good qb who is intended to be their back up gets in done.
i wish this were happening in 2019 instead of now as we would have a better handle on our oline/receiver positions.
OT, not talking about a season's worth or even a full game. Just a little more than a half. It is Darnold's job in NY, with two other good qbs, and he was 8-16 for 1 td in the third game.
If he is 11-20, for a td, no picks and 120 yards, without making any glaring mistakes then I am perfectly fine with that.
in other words he doesn't have to blow the doors off for me to keep thinking of him as the starter.
The damn shame of that injury is that he may never see the field in Cleveland and had he gotten them off to good start (and I mean even 3-5) he probably would have been brought in to be a starter somewhere else next year unless Cleveland wanted to keep him as security.
I'd love to see this guy make 50 million plus over the duration of his career.
With the exception of the one playoff season (2002) and a 10 win season (2007) over the last 22 or so years they've suffered worse.
They lost their team and were without football for 3 years.
Their first overall pick in '99 was a wwwwwhhhhiiff (Couch)...oh, unless you think they ruined him.
A number of first round picks in recent years who should be on this team are almost all gone because they shouldn't be on their team in the first place (we have one of them).
Second 0-16 team in NFL history.
Their 1-31 is the worst 32 games in NFL history.
Their record in 19 years since returning to the league is 88-216 (4.63 wins per year). The Bills over that same stretch are 132-172 (6.94 wins per year), not infinitely better, but better.
Chris: "If you ruin your rookie QB 4 games into his rookie season, then he is not your QB."
I continue to love Chris Simms and the plain speak/common sense of his comments.
Ya know I like Holmes.
However, he BETTER be valuable as a special teamer in 2018, because I truly don't have him in my top 6 receivers as far first through third down.
