KEEMSTAR Responds To Criticism From OpTic Diesel on Friday Fortnite Tournament Right: di3sel.comA dispute has sparked on social media between two prominent gaming community figures, Daniel \u201cKEEMSTAR\u201d Keem and OpTic Gaming\u2019s Mike \u201cDiesel\u201d Carr. KEEMSTAR has been organizing and running a \u2018Friday Fortnite\u2019 tournament each week, inviting big name streamers and YouTubers to take part. The tournament has been an instant success, drawing in millions of viewers and effectively bringing together the community for what is set to be a weekly tournament.

However, Diesel hit out at KEEMSTAR personally on Twitter, suggesting he is not fit to be the \u2018public face\u2019 of the tournament because he is apparently \u2018toxic\u2019. And Diesel did not stop there, going on to even call out some of his close friends for associating themselves with the tournament. Big names such as TSM\u2019s Ali \u201cMyth\u201d Kabbani, 100 Thieves\u2019 owner and former OpTic member Matt \u201cNadeshot\u201d Haag and 100 Thieves\u2019 member Nick \u201cNICKMERCS\u201d Kolcheff all take part in the tournament, and Diesel called them out particularly. KEEMSTAR was quick to respond, questioning Diesel\u2019s contribution to the community himself and saying no one \u201clet him\u201d run it, as he created it himself. Look at this soy boy beta .. hey tag along Mike. No one let me run it, I Created it. What do you do for the community exactly? nothing https:\/\/t.co\/qBxqpbI1NN \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) May 19, 2018 He also later responded with a video explaining his response in more detail. I\u2019m not going to lie dude, I\u2019m triggered, I\u2019m upset. I just woke up ten minutes ago and I see this Tweet from you, and I\u2019m fucking beyond triggered. For weeks, I\u2019m sitting here, all day long focusing on this tournament making sure everything runs right. You have no idea the work that\u2019s involved Mike. You literally have to talk to everyone, you have to be on the phone all day, you have to be contacting people in the tournament, potential sponsors, I\u2019m on the phone with UMG, I\u2019m in meetings, someone has to change a teammate, I have to change the bracket. There is so much involved in this, it has consumed my god damn life to create this. And I get this tweet from you, and I\u2019m thinking to myself: \u2018what the fuck do you do for the community?\u2019 It drives me insane that you can have this opinion, and send this shade this way, when you do nothing. I want to know what you do for this community? Because I\u2019m sitting here grinding, I\u2019m sitting here working. And do you know how much I get paid, for Friday Fortnite? Do you want to know how much money I make off doing this tournament? Nothing. Nothing. You want to know why I created it? Because I fucking love Fortnite and this community, we needed something like this. So what do you do? Don\u2019t fucking talk shit, without stepping to the plate.\u201d Because of this tweet I\u2019m changing the name from \u201cFriday Fortnite\u201d to \u201cKeemstar\u2019s tournament\u201d \u2014 KEEM (@KEEMSTAR) May 19, 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
