Regardless of intent however, the Overwatch League gave him the fine for violating official rules.

"The Overwatch League takes standards of player behavior seriously," said the League in an official statement, "and is committed to responding swiftly when violations occur."

Profit's team London Spitfire is currently second in the standings. Hopefully this snafu won't dent morale too badly.
