<\/figure>\n Losing a job is always an uprooting event, but getting fired in public is straight-up embarrassing, especially when you don\u2019t know it\u2019s coming. That\u2019s exactly what happened this week in the world of the Overwatch<\/em> League (OWL), with the New York Excelsior team unceremoniously terminating main support player Sang-min \u201cMyunb0ng\u201d Seo in maybe the worst way possible: A damn tweet. And get this: It happened just hours after the NYXL welcomed a brand-new player to the team. Yikes.<\/p>\n As spotted by The Verge<\/em><\/span> reporter and former Kotaku<\/em> Dot Com<\/em> staffer Ash Parish, the NYXL announced on August 10 that Soon-jae \u201cAnsoonjae\u201d Jae had joined the team<\/a><\/span> as the new main support player. Roster changes happen all the time in OWL, sure, but adding another person to the critical role of keeping everyone alive while providing team status effect boosts<\/span> would give Myunb0ng a much-needed break. So, it was cool news! I mean, why not increase the number of people on your bench? However, that wasn\u2019t the case, as a few hours after the announcement, the NYXL then tweeted a farewell to Myunb0ng while thanking him for his \u201cdedication and hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/figure>\n You can probably imagine the surprised Pikachu face<\/span> Myunb0ng had when this now-deleted tweet hit his TL<\/span>. In fact, he was so shook by the announcement that he replied with some question marks. Myunb0ng went further and quote-retweeted the NYXL with another question mark<\/a><\/span>, seemingly indicating that he wasn\u2019t made aware of this out-of-nowhere termination.<\/p>\n After the NYXL took the tweet saying goodbye to Myunb0ng down, the team then posted a statement detailing the matter. The tweet stated that the NYXL \u201cfailed to properly communicate with the team before this announcement was made.\u201d They apologized to Myunb0ng for the miscommunication, wished him the best in his future endeavors, and promised this mistake won\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n![\"Sang-min](\"https:\/\/i.kinja-img.com\/gawker-media\/image\/upload\/c_fill,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_center,h_80,pg_1,q_80,w_80\/9cac642c6faafa33e78e48fb48550449.jpg)
