JKap accuses Clayster of \u201cfake hype\u201d and having \u201cmore toxic\u201d fans than OpTic MLGeUnited Call of Duty professional Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan has claimed that his ex-teammate James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks fakes his hype and that it\u2019s \u201cnot genuine\u201d. JKap and Clayster have been involved in a fairly public feud since the decision was made by eUnited to move JKap to a substitute role, in place of Chris \u2018Simp\u2019 Lehr. This came after a disappointing top 16 finish at CWL Fort Worth. Following the announcement of this change, speculation arose regarding how influential Clayster was in forcing the move, with many suggesting that he was largely responsible, while of course it was a team decision. JKap went on to post a number of insulting tweets, referring to Clayster as \u201cthe most arrogant and self-centred person\u201d he\u2019s ever met. This prompted Clayster to respond in a YouTube video, talking about CWL Fort Worth and eUnited\u2019s roster changes. The comments about Clayster faking hype were made by Kaplan when he appeared on CoD analyst and ex-pro Anthony \u2018NAMELESS\u2019 Wheeler\u2019s YouTube podcast. At around the 9:00 minute mark, Kaplan says that he believes a lot of Clayster\u2019s hype is \u201cmanufactured for the camera\u201d and that it\u2019s not genuine. He goes on to say that Clayster \u201cscreams after like, random map wins against random teams\u201d and that, whilst he does not want to speak for other people, ex-teammates of Clayster\u2019s agree with what Kaplan is saying. JKap states that this illegitimate hype from Clayster is unhelpful when trying to play with him, and that whilst it\u2019s not a massive issue, it\u2019s something Kap tries to avoid in teammates. He argues this fake hype feeds into a shift in Clayster\u2019s attitude towards competitive CoD, that has occurred since Clayster won his world championship in Advanced Warfare \u2013 alongside JKap. \u201cI think he\u2019s started doing it since AW,\u201d said JKap. \u201cSome time since then, he stopped playing for the win, and started playing for the fans\u201d. JKap goes even further with his criticisms towards the end of the interview, stating that fans of Clayster are \u201cpound for pound, more toxic\u201d than OpTic Gaming fans. It remains to be seen how Clayster will respond to this, or whether this will spell an end to the two world champions\u2019 disagreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
