I didn't know about him until this video. I clicked on it thinking it was another career retrospective on a league or Dota player. By the end I was still nearly in tears. I can't find a way to say how well and with how much respect this video was made. Edit: I wrote the initial comment before the "heros never die" at the end. That got me. I'm not going to pretend I didn't start crying. Amazing job guys.
Thanks for making a video about Dennis. As someone who started following his career already when he was on Hulktastic in early 2016, the fact that you guys made a video about him means a lot to me and I’m sure also to the rest of the overwatch community.
@@galson6478 same. Shit is really fucking depressing seeing how it HULK was always positive and looking out of his teammates and others before him. Some people dont deserve to be gone so early...
Ich denke immernoch oft an dich. Hoffentlich schaust du auf die esport szene und bist stolz darauf wie weit wir gekommen sind. Sogar dein Papa verfolgt bis heute was in der Szene los ist. Ruhe in Frieden Dennis :)
@@MrQuack22 i still think of you very often. i hope you look on the esports scene and that you are proud of how far we`ve got. even your dad is still following whats going on in the scene. rest in peace dennis
Sobbed through the last leg of this. Then with only a few seconds of the video left I tabbed out to do something else real quick, then came back and hit play, not assuming anything would happen. Saw the last image of him before the screen went black and the Mercy line played. I have not cried this fucking hard in months and months. Thank you to the creators of this video, it was perfect
I remember those old days. Overwatch was so exciting and Envyus was amazing. INTERNETHULK basically made overwatch what it was back then. I want to and I will say it again. May he rest in peace.
I got to play with and against him several times in OW closed beta. Even though he was better than me by a huge margin, he was actually one of the nicer pros I got to play with and against during that period. I don't know what happens post closed beta because I don't follow the OW pro scene that much but I only have good memories playing with/against him from that period. RIP Internethulk, legend and a good person.
I grew up with him. I knew since he was 4 years old. 1993 we played sega mega drive. We played Mortal Combat in the Super Nintendo. We played streetfighter Turbo and turtles tournament fighters. We grew up together. He was a very good friend of mine. He died 3 years ago and it's a big loss because we were the both people which we played with in our early years in Neuss Grefrath. I have tears in my eyes. May be we will see us again in heaven. You were such a good Player and it's incredible what you have done in this career. For all the other guys you are the internethulk and for me you are a good friend which I lost and never can talk again :( good bye. It was a really great time with you. R I P my old childhoodfriend :,(
It's so fitting that Mickie won that award too, because in reality Internethulk is the reason he got to live out his dream. At that time the OW pro scene was pretty small and practically nonexistent in Mickie's region, and the likelihood of any other team trying to recruit him was practically nonexistent as well. But Internethulk personally reaching out to Mickie was probably a turning point in his life, and the reason the league's just positive member is in it in the first place.
As a german Hulk had a big impact on me playing the game. I remember watching his stream back in 2016 and he played alot of Zarya back in the days before the first World cup. From that day i started to learn Zarya as a hero and fought myself with her to diamond in season 2 and master in season 3. This all due to a person i just knew from the internet and his streams. He was never THE best mechanical skilled player, but his leadership combined with his attitude is what every game and every competetive team needs these days. Im not religious, so i cant say "hes in a better place now" but i still just want to say thank you. And for all you gamers reading this, try to be a bit more like Hulk :) Everyone makes mistakes, always try to keep a good mood and attitude, blaming or flaming helps noone! And btw. great video, i like all of your "The Story of..." videos, but i feel like this is your best work and shows the world who and how INTERNETHULK really was. Thank you for this video!
Rip InternetHulk, its hard to watch these clips of you,knowing your not here anymore to spread your positivity and knowledge on the game. The overwatch esports community is very grateful for your large impact on the community and we miss you a lot, the scene wouldn't have been the same if you hadn't been in it
as soon as I saw hastro I started to get emotional. from a perspective of someone who didn't watch esports until overwatch.. I miss this guy. a part of a team that brought me onto twitch and everything else that came along with it including this channel. amazing feels right now.
I literally have goosebumps from this Video. Dennis is someone, that the whole esports community can look up to. Someone, that we would be proud to still have alive and with us. I am sure, that the world would be a better place with him and he had such an positive and enormous impact on so many people. Heroes will never die and Dennis is definetely one of them. Rest in piece, Dennis. We all miss you.
what a story 😊 at the end the mercy voiceline, made me cry 😞 i'm from germany, but unfortunately i didn't know anything about this great person. and it's interesting to see how many friends and family he met in e sports. i love blizzard for the memory of dennis! I look at this every time in Eichenwalde when I'm on this map and have been for years. i never forget to give it a look. he had a sad fate, no matter which people it hits, no one deserved that. but he was able to pass on good vibes and many can learn from it! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
This video gave me chills from the start, I never really got to watch him before he passed, but the impact he had in the formation of overwatch esports will forever have me grateful as it has the potential to be the greatest esport ever.
I remember him tweeting that he s not feeling so good and that he needed to go to hospital. Another one about that he will receive a needle. And then the next messages, a few days later, were about his death. Absolutely shocking and unreal at that time!
he also mentioned in that tweet he wanted to go to blizzcon but couldn't because of his illness.. but he didn't want to waste his ticket so he wanted to gave it away to someone who needed it. such a great person.
R.I.P. i had the honor of talking to him once, and even in a nonchalant pretty memey conversation, he was an incredible person. he’s a fucking legend. you’re incredibly missed Dennis
Thank you so much for still remembering my boy like that. That means a lot to me. It is again a wonderful video about Dennis and his way in eSport. Thanks also to all the others who hold up the memory of my boy.
This just hits me deeply inside man. It feels like it was not long ago when I saw the news Dennis died😪I always looked up to the man he was one of the most amazing player and person overall RIP Dennis “InternetHulk” Hawelka
I cried when I found out he died. Legitimately bawled my eyes out when I saw Taimou post about it while I was scrolling my Twitter feed. Weirdly enough I was already rewatching the Rogue vs Envyus season 1 Apex quarter final when o saw the news. I was paused on a still of the envy team on stage, with Dennis in the back, giving his team encouragement when I read the news on my Twitter feed. I was absolutely in shock. Never knew the man but I was as big of a fan as one could be. As a hardcore pro OW fan, I began my time watching the scene during Envyus' hayday when they won APEX and MLG Vegas. I got in during that time of pro overwatch, seeing Envy dominate the triple tank meta. In the same way that Hulk helped built the infrastructure for early pro overwatch with his love and devotion to the game, him and his team he put together built my love for it as an escort. Now years later, I'm watching the game played at the highest level, selling out arena, with major corporate sponsors and huge player salaries. I hope he's up there somewhere watching proudly.
The "Heroes Never Dies" in the end of the video really poke a hole in my manliness wall. I'm not playing Overwatch (yet) but I think this man will be my reason to play the game.
People dislike the game currently for reasons you will likely never be exposed to considering you'll have to get to level 25 before you can even play comp. Before you even reach that level the balance patch that will change everything will be out. Even if you do no life to level 25 before then, you won't encounter any cancer meta comps because you'll likely be no better than gold(realistically). If the game looks fun to you don't be afraid to get it.
Thank you for this amazing video, I never cried so much in a long time, when Hastr0 couldn’t speak as well from the years I couldn’t even look at the screen. Dennis, has made a major impact on my life in terms of inspiration. I want to succeed like him and try to help others the way he did, the way he would make others smile and laugh, I want to do that. He’s an amazing person to look up to that I’m glad I do. I think about him all the time Nearly everyday. Now he can Rest In Peace. Thank you for everything Dennis, miss you.
He was One of my best Friends in my Life, We grew up together in the same hood and we had so many good times together. The memories will always be in my Heart, May God let Rest you in Paradise!
We miss you Dennis... Every day... You'd be so proud of what the Overwatch Pro Scene has evolved into...The Overwatch Hall of Fame will come, and you'll be the first name inducted, because the Overwatch scene would not have been the same without you. You are now, and forever will be, a legend in Esports ❤️❤️❤️ #HulkLivesOn
thanks for doing this!! He was a legend to the OW community. I'm thankful OWL has an award after him. He was one of the few western players to win in Korea. He was legend. EnVyus in OW wouldn't be as successful if he wasn't in it. He's an inspiration and just like seagull, he introduced a lot of pros in the game and they wanted to have an impact in the game just like he did back then
One thing that confused me, was how much his death affected me. I never broke down, but when I heard the news way back when I was genuinely sad. Following Team Envyus's OW team since very early on probably had a lot to do with it, but I also think how much he cared for others made others care more for him. ...and yeah, that line at the end actually hit me.
Amazing, just amazing. I never took an interest into overwatch and it's competitive scene that much, but this video touched my heart. Great job with this video.
Internethulk was the single reason I play tank cuz I was so inspired by how good he was at the World Cup for Germany. I will never forget him and how much he meant for the community
How am I just know seeing this video... I still remember I cried when I heard the news of his passing.. Envy OGN championship run still the greatest OW team
I cried when i heard about the news and i cried during this video everyone in this community will appreciate what he has done for us and he'll always be remembered
I remember watching him tweeting while he (and I aswell) watched the OWWC and he mentioned that he was sick.. did really not expected this bad ending.. rest in peace. By the way, for the ones who did not know, he also played for the Overwatch World Cup for Germany. Last year the German team also did something for Internethulk to commemorate him.
Rip Internethulk gone but never forgotten
it's only 1 month till he would have been 32
F.
did he die?
@@level8473 yea it said that
Truer words have never been spoken
Holy shit the "Heroes never die" hit me hard there at the end
I saw your comment and it still hit me. RIP
I was fine till the very end, and that line hit me like a truck
yep, that hit super hard... and I thought the rest was difficult
Holy fk dude, so much goosebumps here
God damnit, I cried like a fucking child man.
I didn't know about him until this video. I clicked on it thinking it was another career retrospective on a league or Dota player. By the end I was still nearly in tears. I can't find a way to say how well and with how much respect this video was made.
Edit: I wrote the initial comment before the "heros never die" at the end. That got me. I'm not going to pretend I didn't start crying. Amazing job guys.
same here, even down to the "heroes never die" bit at the end.
Cody Laighton dude I cried like 10 times because I’ve been following envyus since the beginning I’m glad people can still care about past legends
Same
He may be dead but hes soul is still with us. I cried

stop I'm not crying, stop holding dem onions!!!
14:50 onwards for me
n-no you
Legends *never* actually die
We are all going to be forgotten doesn't matter but at least he made an impact on others while he was here. That's more than most can say.
*Legends never die*
Heroes never die.....
r.i.p if he could just see the Overwatch scene now on filling out Barclays center
but then he would also see the current state of the game...
overwatch is trash
Is the game pretty much dead?
@@danielsmith5512 yes, only thing keeping It relevant is the OWL.

I grew up watching this guy. When I heard he had died I was broken everytime I play football I say to myself win this for internethulk
I cried when i heard about the news
and i cried during this video

The only video game related videos that have managed to jerk more tears from me are the tip of the hats closing videos from camp one step
thanks for doing this when
when internethulk died it was a huge blow to the entire community

Loved the video. Rest In Peace Dennis.
Good on you guys for not monetizing this
Excellent video, I got chills from the end
Best one so far love this tribute
this has me all choked up. im afraid to speak to someone. i might start crying if i do
Rip Internethulk will always remember you as the team captain of envyus
And this is why 'The Story of' is one of the best shows in all of TH-cam esports
People being top players across several huge multiplayer games never fails to stun me.
That's a serious achievement.
it really makes me feel bad, i want him back.
