Dropped CWL Pro League player FA5TBALLA hits back at being called \u201ctoxic and uncoachable\u201d The dramatic saga between the Excelerate Gaming esports organization and Call of Duty player Ethan \u2018FA5TBALLA\u2019 Wedgeworth continues to roll on as the player has responded to accusations made against him by members of the org. On February 25, FA5TBALLA put out a message on Twitter in which he addressed the Reddit post that ExG\u2019s General Manager Jay \u2018j0rdinho\u2019 Helton had put out about the CoD player following his demotion from their starting squad at the CWL Pro League. The Reddit post was published by j0rdinho in order tell the team\u2019s side of the story concerning the roster move, and in it he put the majority of the blame on FA5TBALLA, calling him \u201cincredibly toxic and uncoachable,\u201d and claiming that he \u201crefused to listed to anyone but himself.\u201d This claim was pretty much backed up by the official statement that ExG put out via their own Twitter, in which they stated that the decision stemmed from the team and was carried out \u201cbased on their remarks regarding team atmosphere and overall cohesion.\u201d As expected, FA5TBALLA has challenged the accuracy of these statements, claiming that he and j0rdinho had never once spoken to each other and that the manager had never watched or listened in to any team scrims. \u201cThe fact the he would go to Reddit and speak on business which he has little to no information about is ridiculous,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe fact that someone who\u2019s never spoken a word with me made up such a statement is crazy.\u201d He did go on to admit that the team chemistry may have not been optimal, but claimed that the lack of cohesion was not due to his actions but rather to the disrespect he was treated with by some of his teammates. \u201cArguments would burst out and become extremely personal, so much to the point I was told \u2018it\u2019s actually embarrassing how bad you are\u2019 and \u2018every map we lost at the PLQ was your fault.\u2019 \u201cI put my hear and soul into achieving my dream and got it ripped away from me,\u201d he went on. \u201cThen I was told I was toxic and uncoachable and people believed it. I was treated with little to no respect by some of my teammates and it was honestly a depressing atmosphere.\u201d ExG\u2019s roster move on February 23, which saw FA5TBALLA moved to the substitute\u2019s role and former sub RobbieB being promoted to the starting squad.This led to a whirlwind of controversy in the competitive CoD community, in which accusations were sent flying left and right while fans and pro players alike expressed their own judgments on social media. Since then, FA5TBALLA has been accused of leaving a \u201cparting gift\u201d at the team\u2019s Pro League apartments, clogging the toilet before he left for the airport.
