Removed From $40,000 Marvel Rivals Event, Kingsman265 Sees Rapid Twitch Gains

Viral backlash turned a practice dispute into rapid channel growth.

Overview

  • The streamer was dropped from Team Cece during January 18 practice after urging a teammate to swap off Black Widow for composition, and the team later lost in the first round.
  • Team captain Cecee said the removal followed what she called disrespectful comments, then posted an apology on X for calling him a loser and for mishandling the situation.
  • By January 21, Kingsman265 had been accepted into the Twitch Partner Program, gained over 10,000 new subscribers and roughly 110,000 followers, and asked viewers to stop donating after reaching $3,000.
  • Marvel Rivals developers granted him in‑game credits so he could purchase Magik skins, which he showcased on stream.
  • Cecee’s group drew widespread mockery on social platforms, including a TikTok from the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks, and Cecee was dropped by sponsor InfinityMice, which said it is trying to contact Kingsman.
