In late February, up and coming Fortnite player \u2018Aipha\u2019 claimed that his duo for the World Cup would \u201cmost likely\u201d be Myth, which, unsurprisingly, led to speculation that he was also joining the TSM org. However, TSM\u2019s President of Esports, Aileena Xu, shut this speculation down firmly, stating \u201cdon\u2019t you guys think that Zoof\/Aipha would have been recruited already if they were as beast [good] as people say?\u201d Fortnite: How to get higher FPS and reduce lag on PC, PS4 and Xbox One Aipha also responded to Xu\u2019s comment, in a now deleted Reddit post, writing: I\u2019ll let everyone know my side, people may think that \u201cI am just a fanboy\u201d which in reality, I really like the team, but I would always accept other offers. The only thing I ever bought was a couple shirts and one hoodie from the TSM shop. Everything else was sent to me by them, which is why I thought they were interested in me and why I kept with the \u2018TSM is the dream\u2019 shit. I know what my potential is in Fortnite so whatever, if people don\u2019t see it in me thats fine. Regret is something people will have to live with. I will say, deep down, it does feel like I have been played, but that\u2019s just what I\u2019m thinking. Getting ahead of the growing controversy, Myth himself spoke out, confirming that he had never agreed to playing with Aipha at the World Cup, and that it was all essentially a misunderstanding. My thoughts on the recent @DaRealAipha situation. pic.twitter.com\/0rCY9PvGy8 \u2014 Myth (@TSM_Myth) March 20, 2019 Myth states there was \u201cnever a time when it was expressed OR hinted that TSM or I were more interested in signing or permanently playing with Aipha.\u201d He went on to say that \u201cAipha shouldn\u2019t be trying to justify his behavior of being a superfan\u201d, and that \u201cthis sort of misunderstanding is a trend with Aipha\u201d. Xu also posted on Twitter, shortly after Myth\u2019s longer post. She explains that a \u201cnice gesture\u201d (presumably sending merch to Aipha) was \u201cblown out of proportion\u201d. I generally have a positive relationship with people in the Pro FN scene and am always happy give out merch, offer advice, or just be friends and it really sucks to see a nice gesture get blown out of proportion. (Evident by all the community members who have commented) \u2014 Leena Xu (@leena_xu) March 20, 2019 Whatever the situation is, Aipha is still regarded as one to watch for the future of competitive Fortnite, but his chances of playing alongside Myth under the TSM banner, now seem very slim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TSM Myth addresses controversy over potential Fortnite World Cup duo Twitch \/ TSM_MythFortnite professional and Team SoloMid player Ali \u2018Myth\u2018 Kabbani has posted an explanation on social media, clarifying the confusion around his rumored duo teammate \u2018Aipha\u2019, and the TSM organization.
