Daequan finally breaks silence on NRG house\u2019s shock collapse: \u201cI blame myself\u201d Twitch: DaequanDaequan Loco has returned to Twitch after an unplanned 113-day hiatus from the streaming platform to reveal what actually happened to the content house he and Hamlinz founded alongside NRG Esports late last year. Loco, 27, has become renowned for his long stints away from streaming and the public eye after building an immense following in Fortnite between 2018 and 2019. The streamer \u2014 and co-star Darryle \u2018Hamlinz\u2019 Hamlin \u2014 all but disappeared in early 2020, leaving behind millions of Twitch followers and a legion of loyal Fortnite fans, before a surprise return late last year with a new project; the \u201cThoom House,\u201d founded by NRG and the duo. Just weeks later, however, the duo vanished again. Now, more than three months after the new Thoom house disappeared, Daequan has returned to Twitch to set the record straight on what really went wrong. According to the 27-year-old streaming star, there was one thing that brought the Thoom house and all the duo\u2019s grand plans to their knees \u2014 internet issues. \u201cWe got the house, they said the internet was all good, it\u2019s a lovely place, whatever whatever. Long story short, we get there, it\u2019s not that,\u201d Daequan revealed. \u201cWe did not have fibre at all, it was DSL? So the internet was [broken]. There\u2019s things in there I had not seen in like fifteen years.\u201d Read More: Who was in Daequan and Hamlinz\u2019s NRG House? – More issues began to pop up in the house too, including broken air conditioners, dodgy phone connections, and a built-in shower that \u201cwouldn\u2019t run hot, ever.\u201d Daequan added he had \u201cno beef\u201d with NRG or anyone from the Californian esports organization, though he did go on to admit he\u2019s still not sure whether he\u2019s still signed to their brand or is a free agent again. \u201cI have nothing bad to say about them bro, they were dope,\u201d he said. \u201cAll the people I met through the org, they were cool, they were eager to get sh*t going as much as we were. The saddest thing for me is that everything didn\u2019t work out. It was unfortunate bro, just so sad, everyone wanted it to work there.\u201d \u201cIt was so stressful, for everyone,\u201d the star added. \u201cI blame myself. I will always blame myself, because if I blame other people, then that\u2019s wrong. Look at League of Legends. If I\u2019m gold and I blame my teammates 24\/7 I\u2019m going to be gold forever bro! \u201cWhen you lose, you have to figure out what went wrong. With this thing, we\u2019re doing the same thing, figuring out what we do differently. We\u2019ll be more hands on.\u201d Daequan now returns to a Twitch following of more than four million fans, many of whom have been eagerly awaiting the 27-year-old\u2019s proper return since 2020. That long-awaited time is now, Loco has declared. \u201cIt feels good to be back,\u201d he said in his January 24 stream. \u201cLook, I\u2019ve learned I\u2019m really dogsh*t at communicating, and that is one thing I am 1000% going to work on. I am going to make a genuine effort [to communicate] with you guys. I\u2019m talking Twitter, Instagram, and talking about what I\u2019m doing. \u201cRight now I\u2019m focusing on getting everything back to how it was. I want to stream, make YouTube videos. Get back into that groove, make it my routine again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
