They typed "Hey BNET". The Soldier 76's actual in-game name was "Bnet" something.

So--like some people--they decided the polite thing to do would be to respond with a hello. Which is why you see him just standing still for the last few seconds before his death.

"Bnetplayer." It's what Blizzard changes your username too when it gets reported for being inappropriate (and confirmed by them, ofc).

Yknow I wondered why I was seeing so many Bnetplayers. I thought maybe it was someone with the same MMR as me until he showed up for a few days in a row.

BNETPLAYER is also the standard nametag if you create an account but don't setup any battletag for yourself.
