Twitch star Ibai enlists BTS army to help defend r\/place from \u201cbots\u201d Twitch: Ibai, BTSTwitch star Ibai called upon the BTS army to defend a spot within Reddit\u2019s r\/place project as Spanish and French streamers clashed over the pixel art. There have been many unlikely crossovers in the world of entertainment, but Ibai\u2019s interaction with the BTS fandom is one of the best yet. The BTS army is comprised of the South Korean K-Pop group\u2019s loyal fans and Ibai requested their help in a call to arms, of sorts. While r\/place has transformed into nothing more than a void, the battle for space has been gripping Redditors everywhere, with the battle between French and Spanish streamers being exceptionally fierce. Ibai asks BTS army to help \u201cdefend\u201d r\/place from bots People around the world were fighting for space on r\/place, with some communities resorting to using bots, which Ibai was keen to stop. As bot usage became rampant, Ibai put a call out on social media specifically to BTS fans: \u201cBTS army attention! Please help in r\/place! In exchange, the biggest streamers of Spain will stream the next BTS single. We are trying to defend the Reddit community from the French bots taking up much space. Lets Paint together\u201d continued Ibai. The Spanish streamer suggested that they paint the BTS logo on top of a massive French flag that sat on the r\/Place project \u2013 and it eventually happened. BTS ARMY ATTENTION! \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2 | Please help in r\/place! In exchange, the biggest streamers of Spain will stream the next BTS single.

Reddit revived r\/place for April Fool\u2019s Day 2022, which sees users adding pixels within a limited color palette to an experimental canvas, which has now transformed into a white void of blank space. It\u2019s unknown if it\u2019ll return next year, but the fierce battles have helped streamers like xQc break their own viewership records a few times over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
