Hello everybody,
I made a mistake getting myself involved with this situation, and I want to apologize to Hamess. The way I handled the situation was stupid and I am deeply sorry to anyone this might have caused harm to. I would appreciate it if you guys could read this message.
First of all, I want to be transparent.
I am not considered a very PR-friendly streamer. I play for very long hours and I can get very toxic and frustrated. The best version of me is not always on display on my streams. Due to that, me and Hamess had beef in the past as I was toxic to him in one of my gaming sessions.
We ended up beefing, and due to that he gathered some of my toxic moments, some of which were taken out of context and looked exaggerated. These painted me as a very horrible person and in one of them, as a racist.
After our initial beef with each other, I was approached with Belle's story. In hindsight, I saw that as an opportunity because I had thought to myself: ''How can someone try to paint me as a racist and toxic when they've done something like this?''. It made me very gullible in this situation and I made a mistake thinking this way and I apologize for it.
I was blinded by our initial beef and my existing impression of Hamess. All I saw was someone that needed help and had gone through what was portrayed to be a very difficult experience. I had failed to properly verify these claims before involving myself.
My failure to do so caused false information to be spread, as much as that falls on me. I now know that I was given a false narrative and the person whom I thought was confiding in me was not being truthful.
I never fabricated or made up any allegations. I became involved and helped communicate false information due to what I said above, I take responsibility for that and I truly apologize for it.
I also acknowledge that accusations like these have consequences, not just for the person being accused, but for everyone involved in making or spreading them. Regardless of how I felt about Hamess or the posts he had made about me, I should never have allowed that personal history to influence my judgment.
As for the stream yesterday, I wanted to go live to put out my side of the story. I believed that some of the claims being made were untrue and wanted to defend myself. Particularly regarding the allegations about my involvement and the claim that I am racist. I'm not a saint on stream, and some of the criticism directed at me is fair. But I also think that there were some exaggerations made regarding my participation in it, and I wanted to clarify that yesterday.
But honestly, I was over-stimulated and very overwhelmed yesterday. I made things worse, I was defensive and deflective instead of doing what I should have done which was to take accountability. I apologize to everyone who came in expecting more of me, I was overwhelmed by the amount of people addressing it and I let it get to me. I should have done better.
Hamess, I am sorry.
You did not ask for all this, and you certainly did not deserve such a situation. I feel regret because I was involved in it and I take responsibility for my actions. I was really misled regarding certain aspects of the situation, but that does not take away that I still could have done better with it. Being misled does not remove my responsibility for becoming involved without properly verifying what I was being told. I hope that you will forgive me someday for this. I should have been better, regardless of everything that happened beforehand.
Furthermore,
I take full responsibility for the mistakes I've made, I believe we have enough negativity going around in the community and as far as this situation goes, I hope for it to end with the negativity that is directed at me.
Lastly, I want to apologize to the people associated with me who are being dragged into this because of my actions.
To my Hypertune teammates, I have chosen to take a step back from the Hypertune team and brand to allow them to focus on the great things they have been doing and will continue to do in Marvel Rivals Ignite and as a product in the space. I don't want my actions to take away from or become a distraction from the hard work that they are doing. I care about these people, and I don't want them to have to deal with the consequences of my mistake.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this.
This situation does not define who I am, I am far from perfect and I understand the criticism.
Take care, everyone. I will be taking some time away to properly reflect on what happened and learn from this experience.
To all my #rivalstwt moots confused or feeling like I'm the villain.
I'm not.
Live on twitch now explaining it @ ttv/imperator
Who else is going to LAN?
and YES, I will be handing out signed imperator (fat version) business cards.
This is not a strong argument, here's why.
Higher ranks is where there's LESS players.
Look at the pictures below, he IS very strong.
54% WR in GM with 80k games
55% WR in Diamond with 140k games (3rd most played hero)
61% winrate in plat with 20k games (2nd strongest hero)
This game does not only account for HIGH rank (small % of playerbase)
But ALSO for the average player. Which there are an abudance of. They will look to balance to keep their bigger playerbase content.
Ye bro lets nerf Gorr the new hero added to the game, that got influenced by early season stats and everyone believed he was "OP"
52% WR in Celestial 17th place overall in Hero Placements based on Stats alone
-ZERO Quality of Life changes to Gorr
-No QOL Changes to torch
-BUFFED GAMBIT???
-BUFFED ADAM???
-NO ELSA PSY HELA NERFS?
-THING MAG BUFF????

I DID WHAT NOW?
Replying to @necros_ow
Ummmm hi…
I just wanted to let you know that @imperatorfps paid me $20 to cast a spell so you'd finally let him hit on you
Nothing personal tho
Have a nice day
EOMM is NOT real.
Your mind is however.
You can achieve wins by putting your mind in the game.
I ran a Marvel Rivals session where no matter how bad the draft or behaviour of my team, I stayed positive.
Me and @Lv1Crook_ made playoffs by keeping a strong mental, adapting and not blaming others for our mistakes. This is how we achieved a winstreak.
This is the NAVI way.
This is the Hypertune way.

My take on all the drama that’s been happening (I just got back from our Ignite bootcamp and only saw everything today):
- Women can play Marvel Rivals at a high level. It’s been almost two years, and the pro scene has already proven this (Aramori, Valentina, Clio).
- Don’t falsely accuse people of misogyny (Kingsman). You can dislike someone because of their tone or the way they deliver their message, but don’t make serious allegations like that. The term should be reserved for people who are actually misogynistic and deserve to be called that.
- Literally stop harassing Danny Koo and wishing death or anything similar on any Rivals employees. It’s distasteful and disgusting. At the end of the day they are human as well and make mistakes, they've gone the extra mile a lot of times to help the community.
forgot to mention @snowettez whos also sub for NA ignite team 👍
Let me teach you guys a lesson.
Why are the sheep standing?
How did I manage to get a seat?
I arrived late to my transfer bus to the airplane yet I still sit.
I farted.
This is called dark manipulation.
By doing this I emotionally manipulated their senses and managed to get a seat.
Now I reap the benefit of my digestive decisions.
I am Proud that My team
@hypertune_
Got playoffs! I just want to say that The Rivals community is really harsh on our team Becouse these boys are "Streamers" i hope we proved a point that we arent just "Streamers" but actual players in this Scene. Please respect and cheer for us!
WE GOT NAVI PLAYERS AT THE HYPERTUNE BOOTCAMP @Lv1Crook_
