Overview

  • Organizer Basim reversed course on stream, saying the ban was a mistake made in haste and based on misinformation.
  • Kingsman265’s Twitch metrics spiked, including Partner status, over 10,000 new subscriptions, more than 110,000 followers, and roughly $3,000 in donations.
  • The streamer said Marvel Rivals developer NetEase sent him in-game credits to buy Magik skins.
  • Team Cecee was knocked out in the first round as Cecee issued a public apology, and sponsor InfinityMice announced it ended its partnership with her.
