H3CZ responds to ROKKR\u2019s controversial tweet after OpTic loss YouTube, HECZA day after the Minnesota ROKKR posted a controversial, trash-talking tweet following their CDL Stage 2 Major win against OpTic Chicago, H3CZ has officially responded in defense of his team\u2019s reactions. OpTic Gaming\u2019s CEO, Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez, is as established a figure as it gets in the gaming world. From trash talking as a player back in 2006 to navigating corporate drama as an executive in 2020, he has seen and been a part of all sorts of spice. So things had to have gotten particularly heated for H3CZ to jump in and drop a 25-minute video on a Sunday. And things did, as Twitter boiled following an unbelievable OpTic loss to Minnesota the day prior \u2014 after which the ROKKR social media team posted a bit of trash talk. Minnesota beat OpTic in Map 5, Round 11, on a 1v3 that many have already dubbed one of the wildest moments in CoD history. Immediately afterward, the ROKKR shared a controversial tweet that spurred backlash from players like Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner. The tweet has since been deleted, so H3CZ has come out and cleared the air. WHAT THE **** JUST HAPPENED \ud83e\udd2f@ACCURACYLA WITH THE 1V3 TO WIN ROUND 11!!! pic.twitter.com\/txYNrZBl8T \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 10, 2021 As seen in a screenshot from H3CZ\u2019s video, the ROKKR\u2019s tweet included face cams of OpTic\u2019s players immediately following the loss with a caption that read \u201cWe are witnessing a breakdown\u201d and OpTic\u2019s hashtag \u201cBrickByBrick.\u201d Considering how emotional the loss was, Scump called the social media post \u201cdisrespectful\u201d and \u201cclassless.\u201d H3CZ explains why in his video, sharing behind-the-scenes footage of the team\u2019s pained reactions and calling it \u201cthe most heartbreaking loss that I have personally ever witnessed.\u201d Understanding of a social media manager\u2019s role, H3CZ agrees that the tweet \u201cbanged,\u201d but also explains that its timing was inappropriate: \u201cAfter the game is lost, of course you\u2019re going to break down \u2026 I don\u2019t think that this tweet would have been that bad if he would have done it a round before.\u201d Despite elaborating that this tweet was a \u201crookie\u201d and \u201cunseasoned\u201d move, H3CZ continues on to squash the beef. Having spoken directly with friends on the ROKKR\u2019s organizational side, H3CZ concludes that they are \u201cgood people\u201d who mean well \u2014 they just had a social media manager go \u201crogue.\u201d The OpTic head honcho\u2019s overall point appears to be that banter and trash talk should be between friends with prior relationships and that it becomes inappropriate when faceless organizations make light of others\u2019 pain. Emphasizing that the ROKKR\u2019s postgame content should have centered on their own team\u2019s accomplishments, rather than their opponents\u2019 distress, H3CZ reaffirms his mantra: \u201cTreat others how you want to be treated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
