A Twitch streamer has been removed from a $40,000 (£31,600.00) Marvel Rivals creator tournament after an explosive dispute over team communication and hero choices, reigniting debate around competitiveness, toxicity and expectations in influencer-led esports events.
Kingsman265, a Marvel Rivals streamer, claims he was kicked from the Deadpool Creator Cup following repeated clashes with teammates over strategy and hero selection. The tournament, hosted by BasimZB and featuring 48 creators, offered $18,000 (£14,220.00) to the winning team, a sum Kingsman265 described as potentially life-changing.
