Aceu blames Apex Legends \u201cbraindead\u201d community for quitting the game NRG \/ RespawnFormer CS:GO and Apex Legends pro player Brandon \u2018aceu\u2019 Winn has slammed the battle royale\u2019s community as \u201cbraindead\u201d, blaming it for his move to other titles on Twitch. NRG\u2019s aceu is one of few FPS gamers to go pro in multiple titles: CS:GO and Apex Legends. He retired from CS in 2019, opting to pursue a career in competitive Apex Legends. However, this venture only lasted six months or so, as the American announced he was retiring from professional play to stream on Twitch full time. He is still streaming full-time, but has branched out much more into other titles like Valorant, Escape from Tarkov and even Call of Duty: Warzone. Returning to Apex Legends for a stream of the new Season, aceu turned his attention to the game\u2019s community, calling some viewers \u201cbraindead\u201d and a key reason for his move away from full-time competing. \u201cOkay chat you guys are actually f**king retarded,\u201d he said. \u201cPut it in sub mode please. You guys do not know anything. I\u2019d never read such a braindead chat until I came to Apex Legends and I saw the people who watch Apex Legends. I can\u2019t stand any of you guys. You wanna know the reason I left? Because there\u2019s so many braindead f**king idiots that play this game.\u201d Continuing in a more tongue-in-cheek rant, aceu said, \u201cI feel like I need to go find Jesus after reading chat just to get my eyes scrubbed,\u201d he continued. \u201cI need to be re-birthed to free myself from the things I read in an Apex stream. It blows my mind that people can put up with you guys for more than 4 hours and not lose their minds.\u201d Winn clearly feels that the level of backseat gaming and chat toxicity is much higher in Apex Legends, even stating it as a major reasons for his move towards other titles. It\u2019s not just the Apex community that is accused of frustrating streamers though, with lots of streamers often criticizing \u201cbackseat gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
