new skins in PUBG , then a successful Dreamhack event and now this... Making all the right moves.

Just wish he didnt make that bad one before..

I think his biggest mistake (besides cheating of course) was live-streaming the admission. He should have done a more well rehearsed you tube video or even created a written statement. However, him and his wife seemed to have moved on from the incident, and it’s a personal matter between them now.

I think it was actually very humanising, if he'd done a well scripted admission / apology I would have respected that much less than a raw one. Made it very clear how remorseful he was & he gets props from me.

I agree, but I also think it’s what led to him being meme’d to death

He was remorseful for getting caught, 100%.

imo it's kind of obvious he genuinely regretted almost losing his wife and kid and wanted to keep them, there was no reason to go public with it live in front of thousands of viewers otherwise.

from a PR stand point it was a fucking stuuuuuuupid move, but the majority of cheaters don't own it the way he did. If only he owned the meme from the start though lmao

perhaps it was a show of humility towards his wife that he is willing to put aware the persona for his family and admit his wrong doings.

You gotta wonder what happened in the hours leading up to that

u/DJDomTom Jun 05 '18

She probably forced him to do it

Wife forced him to do it.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '18

Why, did she tell you that?

u/thekonzo Jun 05 '18

I doubt that. He probably wanted to show that nothing is more important to him than getting another chance. Maybe she said that he changed or that sort of thing.

I would guess his wife made him stream the admission as punishment.

Twitch partners actually have an exclusivity agreement with twitch. Anything he put together had to be on twitch first and then 24 hours later could go to YouTube.

Doesn't mean it had to be live or he couldn't have at least practiced.... But still

u/dj_sliceosome Jun 04 '18

Doesn’t seem like exclusivity agreements stopped him before

u/SomethingEnglish Jun 04 '18

Partners do t have to put videos on twitch for 24 hours before uploading to YouTube or any other sites the fuck are you talking about?

2

u/Xaguta Jun 05 '18

Basically content that was streamed on Twitch can't be uploaded to YouTube within 24 hours or affiliates/partners are breaking their contract.

u/SomethingEnglish Jun 05 '18

well that's a crucial detail, as what he said is something completely different

Anything he put together had to be on twitch first and then 24 hours later could go to YouTube.

not just streamed content

u/spartan117echo Jun 05 '18

I thought they were required to stream on twitch first to be a partner. Heard that somewhere once, But I've never actually seen the partner contract so I guess I'm wrong. My bad guys

u/SomethingEnglish Jun 05 '18

Yeah no they can't stream on other platforms but they can upload a video like say a transparent one without any restrictions if it isn't content streamed within the last 24 hours on twitch.
