Dr Disrespect finally apologizes for calling mobile fans \u201cnot real gamers\u201d YouTube: Dr DisrespectDr Disrespect has finally apologized for his infamous 2019 tweet suggesting anyone who plays games on mobile phones \u201caren\u2019t real gamers,\u201d more than 14 months after the controversial comment\u2026 but was he really sorry? The Doc has built a career on barbed comments, poking fun at fellow streamers like Shroud and TimTheTatman, as well as the gaming industry as a whole. Recently, he even took aim at the scene\u2019s \u201crepetitive\u201d marketing after Apex Legends dropped its highly-anticipated Season 6 trailer. The newly-minted YouTube superstar was forced to roll back one of his most controversial takes, however, after he paired up with Fnatic\u2019s Tanmay \u2018Sc0ut\u2019 Singh, a professional PUBG Mobile player, during his recent August 22 stream. Dr Disrespect and Sc0ut were enjoying a series of duo-queue matches on Warzone when the Doc\u2019s Champions Club reminded him of his 14-month old tweet. The Two-Time, seemingly a little sheepish about his comment, apologized to Fnatic\u2019s mobile star soon after. \u201cNot sure if you ever saw my tweet\u2026\u201d Dr Disrespect said. \u201cI just want to get ahead of the controversy about me saying that mobile gamers aren\u2019t real gamers. It was a spur of the moment thing. I just want to make sure that I get ahead of it.\u201d Sc0ut didn\u2019t seem phased; he didn\u2019t even confirm if he had seen the comment. Instead, the Doc\u2019s Aug. 22 stream partner replied the tweet was \u201ccompletely fine\u201d. In true Dr Disrespect fashion, however, the YouTube star soon cast a small shadow of doubt over whether he actually had changed his mind on how \u201creal\u201d mobile gamers are since mid-last year. One of the Doc\u2019s fans asked him in a message, \u201cAre you sorry?\u201d The streaming star paused for only a second before making a declaration that seemed to totally go against his earlier apology: \u201cSorry for what? I don\u2019t apologize.\u201d He did offer up an explanation behind why he\u2019d never been converted by handheld gaming, however. \u201cThe one thing that bothers me, with mobile, is I\u2019m putting my thumbs on the screen. I\u2019m taking up space\u2026 I\u2019d rather have [them] on the side.\u201d The related Sc0ut segment begins at 2:23:47 in the broadcast video below. Dr Disrespect has been back to his imperious best on YouTube since his shock Twitch ban; he\u2019s been drawing in hundreds of thousands of viewers every stream. The star hit more than 105,000 during his double-up broadcast with Sc0ut. He\u2019s also been doing more and more \u201cteam-ups\u201d since his triumphant return. The Two-Time recently played with YouTube king PewDiePie on August 14. The pair went head-to-head in Fall Guys in front of more than 340k viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
