CouRage, JKap & Hastr0 feud as Empire\u2019s 3-0 CDL weekend gets personal Team Envy\/100 Thieves YouTubeThings seemed to get personal after Mike \u2018Hastr0\u2019 Rufail took to Twitter to boast after the Dallas Empire went 3-0 during CDL\u2019s Super Week and swept the Los Angeles Thieves. The Empire went undefeated during Super Week to win their group, and earn a first-round bye in the upcoming Stage 1 Major\u2019s Winners Bracket. They capped it all off with a 3-0 against 100 Thieves\u2019 Los Angeles squad. Hastr0, the head of Dallas Empire\u2019s parent org Team Envy, started the Monday after the group stage off by firing a few tweets that eventually led to a colorful exchange with 100T\u2019s Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop, Thieves coach Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan, and others right on the timeline. After noting how quiet the usually talkative Thieves seemed to be after Dallas secured the 3-0, JKap replied, asking \u201cDon\u2019t you ever get tired of this s*** man?\u201d to which Hastr0 responded \u201cYou know me pretty well, Kap. Why do you even need to ask that question?\u201d \u201cFigured at some point you\u2019d get tired of begging for attention, but guess not,\u201d JKap shot back, which is where CouRage came into the picture with a shot out of nowhere. \u201cKap\u2026cmon bro. Hastro has to be the one to tweet when Envy wins a match because there are no Envy fans to do it for him,\u201d Dunlop wrote. \u201cJust take a look they\u2019ve averaged a combined -4,000 subscribers across their 3 YouTube channels this year. I\u2019d rather run a successful well-rounded business.\u201d From there, CouRage and the Envy owner got into their own back-and-forth, with Hastr0 accusing the streamer of caring \u201cso much about the money and the views.\u201d \u201cCmon Mike, you were a below average call of duty professional, became a below average call of duty commentator, and are now hemorrhaging money as a team owner,\u201d the 100T content creator fired back. \u201cI\u2019d keep replying but this is the most interaction you\u2019ve gotten since you snaked Clayster.\u201d CouRage wasn\u2019t done yet though, and after Rufail assured him Envy was \u201cextremely healthy as a business\u201d the former CoD commentator got one last blast in. \u201cYou legit can\u2019t take our name out of your mouth because you \u2018envy\u2019 what we have,\u201d he said. \u201cOur intern\u2019s show gets more views per video then your entire 3 channels in 1 month. One apparel drops earns more than your entire business in 10 years of merch.\u201d If you thought that was it, think again, as CouRage also compared his and Hastr0\u2019s respective esports winnings along with the simple caption \u201cDogwater.\u201d Plenty of other people, orgs, and accounts commented on the beef as well, but according to CouRage no one was upset, and it was just some good old Modern Warfare lobby-style banter, \u201cI didn\u2019t get upset. I just trashtalked back. Some good old MW2 lobby vibe type of stuff. Nobody is upset here.\u201d As proof of just how deep this trash talk goes, one needs only to take a look at JKap\u2019s Twitlonger shots at Hastr0 from\u20262014. The drama didn\u2019t slow down as the day went on. Plenty of others chimed in while JKap and Hastr0 continued to air out their beef for the world to see. What came next was another lengthy post from JKap recounting his years at Envy. Throughout this championship-winning run, he claimed Envy never sent contracts to the team. \u201cWe were never under contract during the 2017 season,\u201d he explained. \u201cNone of us.\u201d However, three days following Champs that year and Envy suddenly reached out with a \u201ccontract offer,\u201d according to JKap. The reason behind this perplexing move was \u201cbecause [Hastr0] wanted to sell [them] for a buyout.\u201d Despite arguments that JKap\u2019s 2016 contract auto-renewed due to a first right of refusal clause, Hastr0 was eventually forced to leave the players alone. Though not before asking for $1,300 in payments from the players due to missing stream hours. \u201cWhen I was too smart to fall for that absolute horsesh**, out of pure pettiness, he retroactively fined me $1300 for not streaming leading up to the biggest CoD tournament of all-time at that point in time\u2026. A tournament I ended up winning under his org.\u201d Hastr0 continued to deny such claims in response to the new thread. \u201cI treated you well and you know that,\u201d he said. I even treated you unbelievably fair prior and gave you a job on our team when there were better opportunities.\u201d It\u2019s clear there\u2019s plenty of tension between everyone involved and Call of Duty drama hasn\u2019t been quite this hot in a while. We\u2019ll be sure to keep you updated as the drama continues to unfold in full view of the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
