On receiving the award, Custa said:

I try and be as positive and try to help as much as I can, but it’s not really something that you really consider for yourself. I try to do good, and seeing other people react and say, ‘We think you deserve this award,’ it’s a really big thing because it means I’m having a positive impact on other people.

The award is meant for players who follow in Dennis “INTERNETHULK” Hawelka’s positivity. A beloved member of the Overwatch community, he passed away in November 2017, shortly before the inaugural Overwatch League season began.
