Much luv man you're honestly one of the goats when it comes to smite and streaming in general. Always a positive influence in folks lives amazing sportsmanship. You've got talent and I'm positive you'll land on your feet. Again much luv my dude.

[@StormKoriHQ]

Just played for a straight hour and change lol. Hope it's a drop in the bucket.

[@frankpaolini1019]

My first and only smite worlds, I asked for a selfie and you graciously gave me one. It turned out unfocused, so I found you again and awkwardly asked for another one. You took me back behind the commentary desk where the lighting was better and took another one with me, and made sure I liked it. I'll never forget that. You have been a shining star for the community and I know that you will have success wherever you land. I pray for you and wish you the best of luck. Thank you for everything.

[@funwalkthroughs1285]

[@AnthonyMalum]

Proud of you in so many ways. I hope we get to work together again in the future.

[@Lukastar1]

I've watched you for at least 6 years, have always loved your content and was so happy for you being able to cast. This is a pretty dark day for hi-rez and smite but I hope we can all get through this. Take the time you need to figure out what you want and we'll be here man.

[@DC_avenger]

It really sucks that this happened for sure undeserved you were an amazing caster. I hope for the best for you and Drea and I'll continue to support you both ❤

[@guitarplayer654]

Sad to see Hi-Rez make a decision that affects the Trellster in such a direct way-but I’m here to support the rise of Trelli to higher heights as he enters full time content era

[@firstnamelastname3121]

I’ve typed a million things but none of them seem perfect for the moment, so I’ll just say thank you. Thank you for letting us be a part of this journey of yours. It’s been incredible to watch you grow as a content creator and caster, and even if this chapter of your story is over, I am absolutely certain that the best is still ahead of you. You have an incredible community and we have got your back.

[@ArbiterJuice]

Loved you and your videos for so long. Easily my favorite Smite content creator. I stopped watching Smite ESports until i heard you were going to be up and commentating the games. I jumped back and I was so proud how well you did. I know you commentated games before just for fun and jokes but you outshined expectations so much. Since you got on there, I loved Finch so much, may he rest in peace, but seeing how well you blended in with everyone, as well as aggro, it was so beautiful to see. I hope your future treats you well and the once undefeated Joust GM finds another way to shine again. Love ya trelli, as a viewer and as someone who feels like i get to chill with a friend whenever I put on one of your videos or streams. Keep your head held high, we can't wait to see where this new chapter of life takes you

[@shartybarty5705]

You’re the goat man. Have watched you for years and know you will succeed in whatever you do. It is absolutely unfathomable what Hi-Rez has done to smite and it’s community

Marvel Rivals mains has a nice new ring to it :)

[@GamingDualities]

so u are admitting u never played smite because u loved it but just to make money?

[@GreenMunkeeD]

​@GamingDualities Do you say dumb things on purpose or is there a genuine reason behind it? I'm not being rude so it's okay for me to ask you this. 😊

[@iamexplosion]

@@GamingDualities I would only make content for something if I made money from it. I mean, I don't think that's a bad or a crazy thing to say that I want to make money at my job. What are we even talking about here? Stop being dumb for free.

@ u are not only being rude, but also manipulative. u all live in a bubble. that why u will never be the best

Wishing the very best for you, Trelli. Sorry you have to go through this, but I'm sure the next thing will come along and it will be great.

[@Radium-Ra-88]

Ngl, you made the pro games pretty enjoyable to watch! Especially when it was you and Dave. Either way, you killed it as an announcer/rep for Smite. Sucks this happened, but you'll figure it out💜

[@sweetbusiness7229]

met you in S10 worlds, watched you long before when you first moved into casting smite, you really grew into the field and i loved watching you go! i really hope you find somewhere that makes you happy

[@baked2522]

Super cool watching your come up, and especially your journey at Hi Rez. Excited to see where you end up. Time to lock in, cus It's Frag o'clock.

[@whiteysmit6653]

My heart goes out to you man. This is so damn sad, I can’t imagine the feeling to have your dream come true and then have it ripped away like this. I had such optimism for Smite 2… I still will but this undeniably puts a bleak filter on it. Will be here to support you man. You seem like such a good and genuine person. You’ve earned this very little I can give.

[@fish7856]

This is a great thing. You're more experienced and connected than you ever were before working at Hirez, and now you get to use all that to fuel your next adventure. You're a chill, driven, and entertaining creator and all you need to do is decide what you want to achieve next. We're all rooting for you big man 👍

[@manog2105]

Man they’re really in trouble it seems, I hope they can figure out what the fuck is going on. Trelli, thank you for being so influential in the scene

[@RISKT0WIN]

No matter what you decide to do I and I know most others will be with you every step if the way I live watching your content you are genuinely a entertaining dude. I have been watching you for about 8 years keep your head up trelli and I look forward to your future.

[@ItsKatt_]

so happy to have finally met you. a wonderful human and caster. I hope to see you back in the booth in the future. AS ALWAYS ANTHONY SQUARED SUPREMACYYY

[@2SK3TCHY]

Wish you the best and a steady source of motivation! I was also let go last year from AIMLABS, and jumped on the content train, which can be hard to navigate at times. It seems like you have a great foundation with the smite community, looking forward to following along~

[@iandevine7078]

Speaking as a long time twitch viewer since travel is pain you are an absolute legend and I'm glad I got to watch ya come into your own casting and just crushing it. Absolutely heartbroken for you and everyone else who's been hit by everything going on and praying all of y'all find things you can love and enjoy as fast as possible.

[@C0l0N31]

Best of luck to you bro, I'm really sorry this has happened. If you ever need anything man we are here for you.

Love you man, I hate what’s going on but I wish you all the best. Been a fan for forever and always loved seeing your excitement while casting.

[@Th3ranc0r]

Been following you forever man, you’re super talented and you’ll do great at whatever you do. Best of luck to you in your next chapter brother

[@ImmortalMarshmallow]

Been watching you since like 2016. It's been crazy seeing you grow. From goofing around with Sam, Rexsi and PunnDuck etc. To a literal Caster for Smite and having your own announcer pack. You were one of the biggest reasons I played Smite so much almost 9 years ago, and one of the very first content creators I ever watched constantly. ❤

[@FlewTooHighLikeIcarus]

I’m not sure about everyone else, I don’t even play smite anymore but I always watch you and Sam, your energy and interactions and commentary always have me laughing. Hoping the best in whatever you do, and can’t wait for the content!

[@FlewTooHighLikeIcarus]

I’m ngl, man imma miss hearing your casting

[@xleaselife]

As soon as I heard the rumors about the layoffs, my first thought went to your career there. I'm so sorry this happened to you and the rest of the team, man. Wherever you post, we'll keep watching. I hope another eSports opportunity comes your way soon, if that's something you still want. Also, smoking reel!

[@Sasquatch-bf7ub]

Rough break buddy. Good luck in all your future endeavors

[@CommanderClyde]

I've watched you for a long time Trelli and I always loved your energy and genuine positivity. Its something I don't think you see alot from people who make content on competitive games and it was one of the things that attracted me to your stream and channel. You've been a fantastic caster for SMITE esports, its a shame they couldn't keep you. Hopefully Hi-Rez doesn't disappear soon. You're awesome dude, thanks for making this game fun!

[@clancythegoat]

Man, I haven’t been on the scene long but you my guy I always liked. You’ve been a hopeful inspiration, an uplifting force in the Smite community to my knowledge for some time. I’m truly sorry you’ve been caught up in all of this and though I’m not the richest I’ll do my best to support the best, how and when I can. I wish the absolute best for you in life as well as any future endeavor you end up choosing to partake in! You will be fine, you’ll be a needed/wanted addition to any company and community in the future, whomever’s lucky enough to have you brother! Good Luck, I will definitely be sticking around to watch your growth journey! God Bless👍🏾❤✌🏾!!!!!

[@HatedNative]

Been watching you since I was a freshmen in high school. Always with you fam! Hope things start looking up. 👊

[@CrispyBoi-YT]

Ive been there man. Being laid off sucks. However now a days my new mantra helps me get through tough times like these. It’s a quote from Marcus Aurelius’s book Meditations: “What stands in the way becomes the way.” Essentially meaning that challenges in your life should be viewed as opportunities rather than obstructions. Yes you no longer work for Hi-Rez but now that means you get to work somewhere new and it could end up being an even better experience for you. Good luck man! You’re a great content creator with very positive energy. I’m sure you’ll find success

[@TheStrangeVisitor]

I am so sorry brother. I heard that just now. 😢 I'm happy that you all are taking it well and reminiscing good times. I just hope you best of luck for your future. ❤️

I'm actually heartbroken to find out that this has happened to you. Literal blindside, out of the blue, gut punch. I watched you from when you were just streaming Smite years ago, before you were picked up as a caster and enjoyed the good vibes and knowledge you brought to us as a creator. Not only that you've always been a super humble person and would tell us how something is without mincing words. I've only ever stayed up-to-date with Smite 2 because of you. But looks like I have to pack my bags and follow you wherever your journey leads to next because that's how a package deal works 😊. You give us unmatched personality and content, and we give you unmatched love and support❤ well except for Drea, she's the only exception. Can't beat her lol. Take care Trelli and hope things will turn around for the better soon!
