Brazilian streamer Gaules apologizes after CSGO \u201ccheating\u201d controversy GaulesBrazilian CS:GO personality Alexandre \u2018Gaules\u2019 Borba has issued an apology for his analysis of a CS Summit match, saying \u201cif my attitude generated a negative reaction the made someone upset, I come here to apologize.\u201d Gaules has been criticized for sparking furious backlash against players of Chaos EC, namely 16-year-old American player Nathan \u2018leaf\u2019 Orf, after accusations that the player was cheating based on a handful of clips. In an opinion piece, Richard Lewis called into question Gaules\u2019 suitability as a partnered broadcaster for the Portuguese-language streams of official tournaments. Lewis said that Gaules spent \u201cparts of the broadcast watching clips on-air and openly saying that Orf had cheated.\u201d This eventually led to Leaf deactivating his Twitter account after a tirade of abuse from Brazilian fans who were now convinced the player had cheated his way to victory vs MiBR. \u201c15 days ago I analyzed some CS Summit plays with influential people from national CS,\u201d Gaules said. \u201cThe intention was to make an analysis of the match, and even reinforcing several times that neither the org nor the player should be pressed, some people went to the players\u2019 social media profiles and said things that should never be said.\u201d \u201cFrom the moment that physical threats and violence became part of the issue, this means that we must take a stand and show that our community can no longer tolerate this type of attitude so that we can positively have a place within the international community.\u201d Minhas sinceras desculpas. Espero que possamos melhorar juntos nossa comunidade. My sincere apologies. I hope we can improve our community together. pic.twitter.com\/ixZblpdagQ \u2014 Gaules (@Gaules) July 13, 2020 Concluding his apology, Gaules said: \u201cToday we have a direct channel with the most important people from global CS, so that championships, whether online or offline, can be more and more reliable, competitive, and above all, respectful.\u201d Richard Lewis did note however that Gaules stopped short of apologizing for \u201caccusing the player of cheating repeatedly during a partnered broadcast.\u201d Shortly after this article was released Gaules issued an \u201capology\u201d for his actions. Except, nowhere does he actually apologise for accusing the player of cheating repeatedly during a partnered broadcast. He criticises those who made threats but not what he did that led to them. pic.twitter.com\/t4hYLvBbdY \u2014 Richard Lewis (@RLewisReports) July 13, 2020 Gaules has become one of the most popular destinations for fans watching Counter-Strike on Twitch throughout the period of online events due to LAN events being put on hold. His streamer reached peak viewership of 387,000, with his highest peaks always when Brazilian teams are playing. In many cases, his livestream will actually overtake the primary English-speaking broadcast for the given match. With this newfound influence though, comes increased responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
