ImperialHal defends TSM\u2019s conduct amid Apex Legends \u201cdata mining\u201d controversy ALGS \/ RespawnApex Legends pro Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has offered a lengthy response to TSM\u2019s controversy regarding \u201cdata mining\u201d game end-zones, explaining that he does not like how it was made all about TSM and that he does understand the issue fully. Apex Legends\u2019 competitive community has recently been shrouded in division and confusion after claims surfaced that famed esports organization TSM had been \u201cdata mining\u201d map endings to better understand how matches might end. The revelation divided pros, with some defending the org and suggesting it is a common tactic in the Apex Legends professional scene. They also pointed out that the information has been made publicly available in the past. Others, though, argued it amounted to breaking Respawn\u2019s \u2018competitive integrity\u2019 rules and that a further investigation should take place. In a November 30 broadcast, TSM\u2019s ImperialHal, who is not one of the individuals directly accused of carrying out the data mining, responded to the controversy fully. In a lengthy response, he explained that he dislikes how the entire situation has become oriented around TSM \u2013 reflecting an earlier claim he made that other teams had used the tactic \u2013 and explained that he does not fully agree with its labeling as \u201cdata mining\u201d. \u201cBringing up the subject is fine but how it was carried out is not fine,\u201d he said. \u201cUtter bullsh*t. Raven could have left? Raven\u2019s intention was to go in there and talk to them as like adults and explain everything. \u201cI cannot explain the whole situation because I\u2019m not gonna just open my f**king data and show it to you on stream just so I can prove what it\u2019s all about and what it means. I cannot explain in words without having like a picture and that\u2019s the issue. It makes me look sketchier right, but I either give away all my information so people can understand or I just keep my information to myself and people like [speculate].\u201d He went on to explain that the publicity around the situation has been so acute his own father asked him for an explanation, but that he does not understand it sufficiently to explain it. He finished: \u201cHow am I supposed to explain to my father this whole thing I just can\u2019t. I don\u2019t even understand how it works. I just have a map bro and I can read the map. That\u2019s all I know about it. I can\u2019t even explain it to my Dad how it works, how am I supposed to explain it to thousands of people. \u201cIt isn\u2019t even data mining. What I understand from Raven, it isn\u2019t even data mining, it\u2019s something different. But like I said I can\u2019t explain it because I don\u2019t understand it. So I\u2019m not gonna speak because I don\u2019t know what it would be described as, how the action is done. I\u2019m just given information and that\u2019s it.\u201d At the time of writing, there has been no word on an ALGS or Respawn investigation into the matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
