0

Olivia Jade disappeared from YouTube after her family entangled themselves in a massive college admission scandal, where multiple people were accused of using financial means to get their child a place at a college which mostly involved pulling out fake certificated to ensure scholarships.

Heading back to March 2019, Jade’s family were accused of the same along with several other people. Along with her sister Isabella, Olivia was forced to part ways with the college after their parent’s involvement surfaced. According to reports, their parents’ actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli benefitted from their rowing scholarships during their admissions to USC. Later it was revealed that neither sister had any involvement with rowing activities that speak to the forged nature of the certificates.

In her recently uploaded video titled “hi there“, she goes on to explain parts of her life away from YouTube while expressing her desire to make a return. As of now, she is bounded by laws to speak about the scandal or anything surrounding it, so neatly avoids the topic without further getting into it. She openly says that she has missed making routine videos and wants to be back to her former lifestyle as a beauty content creator.

“I’m v excited for this new chapter and also a little mind blown, you guys haven’t seen a vlog of mine since I was… 19”, said Olivia Jade. Her channel hasn’t seen any activity in a long time but maintained a healthy viewer count when she was regular. Fans expressed mixed reactions about her possible return, with many expressing their curiosity about the vlog she has under the works. Nevertheless, we can’t be certain that her comeback vlog will be an instant hit, only time can tell how badly her fans missed her.

El Rubius accused of copying LIRIK’s logo

The biggest non-English stream on Twitch, El Rubius has been accused of copying LIRIK’s logo and the latter’s fans pointed out and forcing a discussion out of him during a live stream.

LIRIK has a longstanding relationship with Twitch, being one of their earlier streamers, he was developed a loyal and consistent fan base that sticks with him through thick and thin. One of those fans pointed it out to him that, El Rubius’s logo is somewhat similar, and that the Spanish-Norwegian streamer might have copied the concept in its entirety. The accusations flying around forced him to address it and fans were able to squeeze out a statement.

“This is his logo, but, like, I don’t know if I had my logo before. The thing is, my logo’s kinda like, it’s a f**cking smile, there are so many ways of looking at it. So it’s kind of like, whatever. I don’t really care. He’s probably a nice guy.” said LIRIK before acknowledging the massive following to the accused.

“There’s a streamer out there, Rubius, dude, his community is huge, I’m not even gonna- that’s like poking a f**king beehive. So I’m not even going to say anything,” he said while thinking better off than to pick a bone with Rubius.

The two logos have some similarities while some differences that stick out. On the surface, both shows a cat with a creepy smile, while Rubius’s one has a spikey fur, the other one has an overtly symmetrical look. One also can’t help but ignore the neon highlights across both logos. El Rubius so far hasn’t responded to the claims, which as it seems he won’t as LIRIK does not have a problem with him using it.

Also, a bonus tip is to spam the Deathmatch mode because the time duration of each match is almost five minutes and the EXP points offered is the same as that of other four modes. Always play ranked mode and try to be as serious as possible as it actually helps while boosting your level.

GET HIGHER KILLS

0

Content creator Cameron ‘Fitz’ McKay has been accused of using the slur “Retarded” while playing on the EpicSMP Minecraft server.

Fitz is a member of the EpicSMP Minecraft server and the one among the list of content creators who were given an invite to the same.

Things seemed to have hit the rock for Fitz after he used a slur while streaming Minecraft on Twitch this weekend on Saturday. After wandering around on the server, he stopped in the middle of nowhere and asked himself, “What am I actually doing? I’m retarded.”

Upon saying this, he came to his senses where he might have been abusive over his stream by using such slur and asked his chat, “Can I say that? Are they gonna get mad at me on Twitter?”

This quickly spread like a wildfire all within the streaming community and on Twitter as well. A majority of his fans did criticize him for his language. A plethora of Tweets started to swarm in in an aftermath of the same where some tweets stated his audience to be less offended whereas others kept on arguing on the same.

There were certain tweets as well where users sounded less surprised about making a whole lot from this scenario. As mentioned above, many of his fans supported Fitz while others still looked it up as an issue with the slur he used.

Fitz under fire for using r word on the EpicSMP Minecraft server.

Fitz, who had his mind-blown by his own actions responded in a sarcastic way, “I hope we live in a world someday where no one can say anything at all “

A user on Twitter responded to this chaos where she replied to the above Tweet, ““You can say whatever you want but people also have the right to not like what you say,”

This isn’t the first time where the 24yo Kiwi faced such harsh condemnation across his content creation career after the former was accused of the “Reason” behind the harassment Pokimane received when he joked about being in a relationship with the latter.

A farewell to the “King of Spray” GeT_RiGhT

World in 2021 witnesses a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ecosystem that is polished to a sheen. However, it wasn’t always shiny. Few labourers were doing all the scut work for generations to come, and GeT_RiGhT stood in front of the lane. 

When historians reminisce about early CSGO days, some names continue to reappear. Christopher “GeT_RiGhT” Alesund was one of the few players who were there when CSGO esports had just taken a birth. The veteran has a long account in the Counter-Strike world as a great player, a guide, and an icon. 

CS 1.6 esports, unfortunately, was never as well-established as CSGO is today. GeT_RiGhT began from there. Team changes, transient environments and multiple swaps didn’t stop him from continuing his esports career. In a barren, less giving field of work, GeT_RiGhT never stopped giving. He kept sowing in the hope that the esports will bloom one day. In a chat with HLTV, the player revealed that Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin;” had always meant so much to him. Evident from his journey in CSGO, GeT_RiGhT never stopped believing.

GeT_RiGhT’s winning spell in NiP

Get_ RiGht was always an ace rifler, and big names of the 2000s saw him. He cemented a firm foot in esports when Fnatic signed him in 2009. Here he joined Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg, another legendary player who’ll remain with GeT_RiGhT for years to come. The duo moved to SK Gaming, helping the team dominate the scene until it disbanded in 2012.

By then, most of the players who competed alongside GeT_RiGhT had retired. Their journeys had come to a halt, and GeT_RiGhT was just gearing up to register history in CSGO. 

The Swede joined Ninjas and Pyjamas, a team that stalwart rosters would fear. The veteran lurked the maps for NiP for over seven years, playing a crucial role in most of the team’s victories. When NiP achieved the unimaginable 87-0 LAN run, GeT_RiGhT was on its payroll as the guiding force behind the consecutive wins. With GeT_RiGhT on the roster, NiP became the unstoppable Swedish force pouncing over whoever came its way. The iconic quintet featuring Patrik “f0rest” Lindberg, Adam “friberg” Friberg, Robin “Fifflaren” Johansson, Richard “Xizt” Landström topped all CSGO charts. 

ESL: One Cologne 2014

The veteran had cast an unbreakable spell of winning, driving the Ninjas to lift the trophy at ESL: One Cologne 2014 ultimately. The Swede says that this win means the world to him, as the trophy that brought him to his knees in gratitude was the one that took NiP to the pinnacle of success. The iconic image of GeT_RiGhT kneeling in front of the trophy reflects what he felt. As incredible as it was, this win was the one that would cap off NiP’s peak days in CS.

NiP’s downfall wasn’t anything like its instantaneous success. Players shedding year-by-year, the team lost its prowess comfortably. GeT_RiGhT was there all along. While his day ones signed their resigns, the player stayed alongside f0rest, in his efforts to bring NiP back to the fore. The player went too deep into the weeds, which cost him his internal peace. 

“Throughout my career, I’ve been battling different kinds of personal issues, like mental health states,” he says. “I’ve never been that honest about it, only to some extent, but not in a way that people could understand the whole picture,”  

GeT_RiGhT said.

His efforts were futile as the skill gap closed and the likes of Astralis and Cloud9 sent the Swedes into the background. This was the background that NiP won’t be able to come out of with GeT_RiGhT. 

Final shot before the climax

Dignitas 2020

The player finally signed off of NiP, putting an end to a legendary era of CSGO. However, he wasn’t done. His heroic re-entry in esports with old pals friberg, f0rest, and Xist brought early CSGO fans out of their holes. It was all fun and games until COVID-19 struck and Dignitas overhauled roster declined quietly. A roster that is so used to the blinding lights of the podium, roaring crowd, and all things LAN failed to deliver inside the comfort of hushed rooms. 

Joining Dignitas as a competitive player was a moment of truth for GeT_RiGhT. The Swedish superstar has finally put the mouse down for his streaming career. The player has announced that he may come back to competitive, but the “break could be extended into retirement.” For now, the fans can see the CSGO megastar in action on Twitch. 

Unfortunately, COVID-19 snatched GeT_RiGhT’s chance to bid farewell to competitive play properly. In his video message, the player revealed that he’d have liked to say goodbye in a LAN in Sweden. 

“These are my last 30 seconds in the spotlight in a way, and it would have been good to get out the message that I wanted. It would have been awesome to do it in a live tournament, but I’m lucky to have had such a great career in general, and I’m grateful for everyone that has always been there for me.”

GeT_RiGhT

The veteran has signed off but leaves a lasting impression in the CSGO world. A long list of achievements in the game testifies that GeT_RiGhT was a wonder that happens once in years. The Man made it to the first five Major Grand Finals, he was crowned as the best of 2013 and 2014, appeared six times on best players of the year list, bagged ten tournament MVP medals, and became a name every new CSGO player knew. 

While in recent history, GeT_RiGhT may not have been on top of his game, but he has furnished an ecosystem where talent thrives. Years after his peak days, a good spray is still known as “GeT_RiGhT level spray down” in CSGO players’ language. There may come new contenders who may paint a picture brighter than GeT_RiGhT did, but no one can fade the colors of his legacy.
