And his fans absolutely hated the fact that their favorite player being beaten by a "nobody". Long story short, GothamChess lost fair and square. And that match just so happened being broadcasted live on Twitch and viewed by thousands of people. Then came this event, where he happened to have a match against GothamChess, an International Master with ELO 2400 and 700k YouTube subs (according to the OP post).
One day his son showed him app so that he can play with online players on his free time.And as a former tourney player, he finds it addicted and fun that he can play against anyone in the world, so he plays ranked matches until he finally reached the level where he could play against some of the best players in the world. So this guy's dad (Dewa_Kipas) is a former chess tournament player that has been long retired. I'm Indonesian here and I will translate the context here to English : I'm the one maintaining his account for him, so that he can play it. (My dad doesn't know anything (happened with it) because he doesn't know English. It's just so happened that my dad played against a Twitch Streamer with hard-line fans. He's enjoying it and went on for Ranked Matches until he met with the masters. I showed him a chess app where he can play chess against other people online (). > They mass reported his accountīlocking someone's account just because of a public figure.įYI: My dad is a retired chess tournament player. > My dad's play with GothamChess broadcasted live on Twitch > He (GothamChess) is an International Master with ELO 2400
Translation of the Facebook post of his son: You going to tell me you just have no idea which one to guess, because it could really be either one, because nobody can 'control' their fans or ever predict that? It was either Bam Margera's fans or Meryl Streep's fans. Let's say that I told you a particular celebrity's fans went crazy and caused an embarrassing scene but I don't tell you which celebrity.
People who start drama are going to get instabanned by the mods who were empowered by the streamer to keep it clean. If you are chill, don't start drama, don't allow drama, then people who chase drama aren't going to hang around to watch you. Toxic children don't enjoy watching chill, wholesome people. You cultivate your audience, with your moderation and the tone you set. Then go watch xQc for a while and tell me the difference isn't night and day, which chat is going to generate threads like this and which isn't. Watch someone like CohhCarnage and tell me he's not controlling his chat. Look at the other reply that just came in, about how Danya handled his chat. But in subsequent threads on this topic putting unsubstantiated claims in the title is not ok, and please don't link threads in outside groups to encourage people to come astroturf. If it was, we would just lock and remove the thread and say nothing. Our intent is not to stifle good-faith discussion. You are certainly still allowed to discuss this, if anyone wants to make another discussion thread. We would prefer the discussion on contentious topics like this not be taken over by an outside brigade. Others already had barely-active reddit accounts and got past the filter. Automod caught most of the brigaders, but only the ones who created reddit accounts specifically to post in this thread. The thread was being heavily brigaded by outside groups. But it was being taken at face value by a lot of pitchfork-wielding angry commenters, and important context was not as visible in the thread. The main claim of the headline- that the player was banned due to being massively reported by Levy's fans, rather than for genuinely triggering 's anti-cheat system- was not actually substantiated.
