Apex Legends pro HisWattson claims he is \u201cblacklisted\u201d by EA after hacker controversy ALGSApex Legends pro Jacob \u2018HisWattson\u2019 McMillin has claimed EA has started \u201cblacklisting\u201d him from tournaments and certain competitions, following comments he made on social media. FURIA pro HisWattson faced criticism after a set of messages were leaked where he messaged an Apex Legends hacker directly, asking for help with the attacks on his games. Also during the conversation, the pro revealed that he \u201chates\u201d the head of security at Respawn, Hideouts, claiming he wants to \u201cwant to clown him on Twitter\u201d. This was met with backlash from fellow pros and content creators in the community, with Mac \u2018Albralelie\u2019 Beckwith going as far to say HisWattson was \u201cspeed running a ban from EA sanctioned events\u201d. Well, according to HisWattson, EA\u2019s \u201cblacklisting\u201d following the drama has already begun, with him being banned from competing in a tournament at Twitch con. This has resulted in a lot of frustration from HisWattson who doesn\u2019t understand why he\u2019s being \u201cpunished\u201d. He claims that these attacks \u201cstop me from doing my job\u201d so it\u2019s difficult for him to stand by and remain silent. Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen replied to the tweet asking whether HisWattson had been blacklisted from all competitions. However, the FURIA pro revealed that for now his spot in the ALGS hadn\u2019t been affected, but he was being banned from other tournaments. For now, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see whether EA decides to take any further action against HisWattson in the future. Neither EA nor Hideouts have responded publicly to the drama, so the official stance on the situation is unclear. Either way, HisWattson has made it clear from this tweet that the backlash will not stop him from continuing the criticize EA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
