ImperialHal explains why he called out friend\u2019s poor performance in ALGS: \u201cIt\u2019s my channel\u201d Joe Brady (@joebradyphoto)\/ALGSTSM captain Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has responded after he kicked up a debate by calling out fellow competitor and friend Cole \u2018Rkn\u2019 Prommel for his performance at the ALGS Championship, claiming he held back his more talented teammates. On his stream, Hal praised Koyful, a 17-year-old controller prodigy, but suggested he \u201cdoesn\u2019t know better\u201d in regards to being held back by teammates, namely Rkn. \u201cTheoretically, let\u2019s say Koy is this good, like he\u2019s literally miles above whoever mechanically,\u201d ImperialHal said. \u201cBut then you have a teammate that literally dropped zero kills in a winner\u2019s bracket.\u201d There was no escaping the fact that he was directly pointing the finger at Rkn, who indeed managed no kills in the winner\u2019s bracket as Sentinels bowed out in 27th place. Hal even went on to say he is \u201coffended when I see players stay in positions they shouldn\u2019t be in\u201d. Unsurprisingly, this caused a stir in the community, with some critical of ImperialHal\u2019s clearly unfiltered comments, but the TSM player has made it clear that he remains unapologetic. On X\/Twitter, he said, \u201cAs long it\u2019s my channel, I will speak on what I think if it\u2019s in relevance to my job. \u201cJust because you are my friend does not mean you get a pass for anything. I will also never allow what my audience says to dictate [whether] or not my opinion is shared or how it is shared.\u201d Although some felt his words had been harsh, there was also agreement from some fans. \u201cCompletely agree with Hal on this one, especially with Rkn,\u201d one said. \u201cKoyful and xenial are so much more talented. Sentinels would actually perform like the tier 1 org they are if they dropped rkn.\u201d Rkn has not responded publicly, but according to Hal, the two remain friends. Sentinels\u2019 roster, for the time being, remains intact, with the same trio from the 2023 Championship heading into year 4 of ALGS together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
