Summit1g apologizes to Lirik after calling him a \u201csellout\u201d for streaming Atlas early Two of the biggest Twitch streamers got into a very public dispute on the platform, after Jaryd \u2018Summit1g\u2019 Lazar accused Saqib \u2018Lirik\u2019 Zahid of being a \u2018sellout\u2019 amid the launch of new game Atlas. Summit was angered by Lirik\u2019s decision to stream before the game went live, simply broadcasting the main menu and attracting viewers to his stream, knowing that the game servers were unavailable. As is common on Twitch, new game drops are hotly contested for viewership, especially between popular variety streamers, and Summit was clearly not happy with Lirik\u2019s tactic. However, Lirik hit back, saying \u201cHave you never been a part of a game launch on Twitch? Everyone stares at the fucking menu [\u2026] There\u2019s more hype around getting into the server than there is actually playing the game.\u201d The pair continue to throw shots at one another on their streams, and Summit doubled down on his accusations, telling Lirik \u201cshow some content, do it an hour before. Why are you making it so blatantly obvious that you\u2019re just trying to feed for viewers?\u201d After finishing his stream though, Summit1g has now posted an apology to Lirik on Twitter, saying he \u201cwas being an ass for no reason. Was uncalled for.\u201d I wanted to apologize for the way I acted today, I was being an ass for no reason. Was uncalled for. No excuses. @LIRIK \u2014 summit1g (@summit1g) December 22, 2018 Lirik has not yet responded, although with this apology from Summit it seems like the beef will be squashed. Before ending his own stream, Lirik told his viewers \u201cLook man, if he wants all the viewers, he can have them, I don\u2019t even give a shit honestly, it\u2019s all yours man. I\u2019m probably still going to have a great sleep tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
