@devinconnors Now that you can speak freely
Were you restricted by epic games to talk to the community addressing the ddos and botting issue in the game or was it your decision as a community manager to ignore it?

Humbled by all of your replies. The best part of this job was meeting so many of you at events, & getting to work with some of the best endemic streamers & pros in gaming. And shout out to the RL subreddit mods, running one the best subreddits on the platform. Thank you. ❤️⚽🏎️

Nine and a half years later, and my time with Psyonix and Epic has come to an end. ⚽🏎️ Thanks to those who have reached out already ❤️ Don't worry, I'll be ok. I'm going to enjoy some well-deserved downtime for now.

@Clix everyone wants to see a gatekept competitive scene where the same 50 people stay franchised and dogshit for 10 years without any push to have their spots really taken, narratives pushed by the “easy” esports. everyone knows deep down this is the hardest SPORT on the planet.

@KC_Mirioo @RLRecon But daniel and Beastmode are not Rado. Let’s not forget Daniel just sent Vatira packing. And Beastmode was WORLDS mvp while winning the championship. Comparing Rado to them is stupid and you know it. vati is not top 5 and won’t be until he wins
English

@CoNN_usaf @RLRecon Yeah lets just say only worlds matters why are we even doing major and shit lets just say whoever wins world is the GOAT and radosin is even above him !! (Most bullshit ways to see the scene btw)
English

@KC_Mirioo @RLRecon You must be delusional, Daniel 100% clears, and Beastmode is also ahead. They all have a world championship plus more. Vati is great but he’s not had a better career than any of them until he wins worlds.

@CoNN_usaf @RLRecon Besides Atomic no one is above Vatira in an ALL TIME list on that nrg roster

@TheBopPops I mean right now it’s not a debate. I think the clear cut best players coming out of the major are Nass Daniel and Zen

@TenacityTv_ If you were innocent you wouldn’t be posting paragraphs to try and prove it. Just give it up lil bro.

This is the last thing I will say on the subject on or off stream. Some people have been making accusations of me and trying to tarnish my name and reputation. I have never viewbotted. I never will viewbot. I will try to address most of the points people keep trying to make. You can make up your own mind I don’t care either way but the way that I’ve been treated by some people in the rocket league community these past few days has been absolutely unforgivable and they should be ashamed.
1. The main thing people keep saying is that my viewership dramatically increased when I started my reruns as opposed to when I was actually live.
As you can see from the post I retweeted the increase in viewership directly tied with the main Rocket League channel ended their stream. Along with other large creators who didn’t do reruns and ended their stream when the games ended. Meaning 50k-100k viewers who are still looking for drops find a different stream to farm them. Since I was at or near the top of the category and doing 24/7 streams, thats a pretty solid explanation for the viewership increase which has been consistent for almost every event when the main channel ends.
2. People saying my chat “ran slow” during reruns with 5-10k people OR my chat would just spam “!gamble” or “!drops”
Why would the chat be insanely active if IM NOT EVEN THERE. I added the gamble command so people in the chat had something to do overnight while they farm drops. They loved it which is why the whole chat was filled with it.
They also mention there being lots of new accounts in the stream/chatting. Of course there were, 95% of the people in the rerun chat were ONLY there for the drops. I’m sure tons of people made a twitch account specifically to just get drops and clicked on the first streamer they saw in the category.
3. People saying it’s crazy that I hit 10k+ viewers at 7 am and then viewership decreased when Rocket League actually went live.
I think the second part of that can also be explained by the same thing as why my viewership increased when the games ended. The fact that the main Rocket League channel and all the other watch party creators also went live so a portion of the viewers had different options and left stream.
I do agree that those numbers are insane and I’m not saying there’s a 0% chance there’s foul play. But if there was I had NOTHING to do with it. It might also be important to note that I saw steeper viewership increases AFTER the original viewbot allegations made on me months ago that likely put a new target on my back.
4. People saying my tweet yesterday was about “deflecting the allegations” instead of trying to do something good for the community.
Jonnyboi along with other creators had made statements that day about being against the reruns and that they needed to stop. Along with having multiple conversations with creators at my IRL watch party saying that they were negatively impacting the community. Those things combined made me realize the 24/7 streams needed to stop and since I was the biggest “rerun” streamer it needed to start with me.
At the end of the day people will make up their own mind and most of the people who are sending hate my way are not going to accept any explanations.
I absolutely admit the numbers were insane at times but they had explanations. People like free shit. My numbers have always been consistent on “normal” streams and the only times they’ve ever spiked like crazy is during “drop” events. If there was ever ANY foul play or “viewbotting” during any of my reruns I had nothing to do with it. I value my name and reputation a lot more than a few extra thousand viewers. I hope this helped give a better insight for the people who are willing to look at the situation from an unbiased perspective instead of aimlessly following the whims of a creator who thoughtlessly weaponizes his community on a regular basis.
