If anything, HBox plays somewhat in part to get positive validation from others. Understandable, even if it's to a fault or a flaw.

He is a big part of it, yet a huge crowd of people (including pro players) don’t want him to be apart of it. Congrats to HBox he deserves this.

For 8 Years now, I am in full Control over my own Temper, granting me vital Conflict Resolution Option, all because i now can handle Salt. It brought me the Freedom, i was always after. This is why i can relate with Hbox's Issue to the Crab thrown his Way on a personal Level, dispite me not being having to deal with the same Struggles as he had to. I had my own to fix. I hope that the Crab Laucher was told to leave the Area. A terrible Attitude to have.
