In the wake of speculation suggesting a merger between OpTic Gaming and eUnited, Dr Disrespect has asked to board the ship for a place in the future of the Green Wall.

As reported by Dexerto, OpTic is joining forces with eUnited to acquire Call of Duty team OpTic Los Angeles. Both parties are expected to unite should the deal go through thus resulting in greater exposure for either party.

Doc has been independently streaming on YouTube for some time now and joining an org at the peak of his career will be a logical move. “This leads to all this talk on OpTic, and H3CZ, and what is H3CZ going to do?” he said.

In his last YouTube stream, Doc hinted at Hector ‘H3CZ’ Rodriguez solely being at the helm when the deal goes through. Doc has looked at it as an opportunity before asking H3CZ to sign him up. “Come on H3CZ ⁠— Sign me up!” he said.

OpTic has teased back at Dr Disrespect, hinting a possible deal between the streamer and the org if their tweet racks up 100,000 retweets. Fans are requested to hold their horses unless and until an official announcement is made. Signing a streamer of his stature is quite possible for OpTic given they are look to expand their brand.

Given the way both parties are reacting, something bigger than a banter might be in the works here.

Prominent GTA RP streamer LadyHope has been banned from Twitch for reading out a hate mail from an eccentric xQc fan on the live stream.

The NoPixel GTA server is no stranger to drama given that it houses the top and notable streamers across Twitch and beyond. Any tussle was kept at bay with strict rules laid down by admins and moderators but they are often broken. Former Overwatch pro xQc is arguably the biggest name on the server and naturally boasts a huge fan base who are willing to go against anyone that messes with him.

LadyHope’s RP character arrested xQc’s anti-social one in the server and it did not sit right with the latter’s fans. After the arrest, Hope was subjected to multiple death threats and hate mails, and reading them on during live stream resulted in her getting banned from the platform.

xQc believes that the arrest was unreasonable given the fact that no evidence indicated him as the perpetrator and the witness cannot confirm it was him fleeing the crime scene. His fans were of the same opinion thus they went on to spread hate against LadyHope.

“I got suspended for reading out a hate speech email that was emailed and aimed at me…. due to me reading this out, and the clip that was taken without context, I was suspended due to ‘Violent Hate Speech.” said LadyHope. She also confirmed that she is working with Twitch to resolve the issue given that the clip was blown out of proportion and the ban was unjust.

xQc fans going beyond his control to spread hate could give rise to more such issues in the future thus the community humble pleads him to keep a tab on his fans.
