Adressing drama

Hi there,

As many of you saw, there is a clip from my stream that Asmodai made public where I brag about having stream sniped him twice. His post became a huge thread and I'm receiving a lot of hate for it. At first I wanted to let the thread die and wait until things get normal again, but I decided to adress the problem instead, mainly because most people who watched that clip seem to think I have no integrity, which is not true.



Competitive integrity is the most important thing for me when it comes tournaments or ladder in the hct season. I would never cheat or try to give myself any unfair advantage in a game that means a lot to me and I expect my opponents to do the same. I always take the regame when my opponents queue the wrong deck or d.c., etc. Skill must be the only edge you can get over your opponent. In the off-season though, I take ladder very casually since there is litterally nothing to gain for having a good rank. The irony of stream-sniping someone that actively tries not to be sniped made me laugh and I didn't realise it was a big deal at the time since, like I said, the rank didn't matter to me.



Why Asmodai?

I actually never met or talked to Asmodai. However, if you're familiar with my stream, you know that I keep jokingly saying that he's a bad person only because he always beats me on ladder (he does always beat me on ladder). I obviously don't mean it and I say it as a joke, and I assume that he is probably a very good person. However, when it comes to my stream, i liked talking about him like he was public enemy no.1 because I thought my viewers would find it funny that I would hate someone for such childish reasons. When I said I sniped him it was a bad attempt at making people laugh. I thought it was funny that I would go that far against someone for reasons that don't make any logical sense, and even funnier if I was proud of it. Of course, when taken out of context, I completely understand how Asmodai would take it as a personnal attack and I don't blame him for making this public, for I would have probably done the same thing.



I am genuinely sorry and I will be more careful about what I do and say and how it will impact others. I shouldn't have made this joke at Asmodai's expense and I will ensure to not let it happen again.





tl;dr Competitive integrity means a lot to me but I didn't think it was a big deal in the off-season. I was trying to make people laugh on my stream, it was all part of a bigger joke, not an attack on Asmodai. Won't happen again.
