Crimsix’s former manager responds to reports of being fired – claims to reveal CoDBurner’s identity
Taylor Keating’s decision to part ways from OpTic Gaming Call of Duty star Ian ‘Crimsix‘ Porter hasn’t gone smoothly, and now the former manager has been forced to defend himself.
Keating first announced that he would no longer be representing Crimsix on July 11, stating that he “left on his own accord” in search of new opportunities.
Unfortunately, the announcement opened a can of worms on Reddit and social media, many claiming that he had actually been fired behind closed doors, despite saying that the decision was his alone.
As a result, Keating was forced to get back on social media a day later and defend himself, not only refuting the claims that were being made against him, but also citing them as a reason for why he was open to switching industries.
“Saw a lot of misinformation on Reddit about my departure from Crimsix,” he tweeted. “I mentioned it to him after [CWL] Anaheim. I didn’t get fired. I moved on. The things I see on Twitter and Reddit from the community of one of the reasons I’m leaving for other opportunities in other industries.”
Excited to announce that I’ll be working with my longtime friend @OpTic_Crimsix. I’m going to help bring the best content to his stream, YouTube and beyond. 2019 ain’t ready :beers: pic.twitter.com/KNbrabbfcD

Defending himself was not the only thing Keating did in his social media mini-rant on July 12 – he also went on to reveal the alleged identity of the mysterious and infamous Call of Duty esports insider known as the CoDBurner.
According to his tweets, the person who’s been behind the mask of the notorious insider this whole time is a man named Edgar, who goes by ‘EdgarAllanPwn3d‘ on Twitter.
“Also to my understanding, the CoDBurner is EdgarAllanPwn3d,” he wrote. “Good luck CoD community. I’m always rooting for you.”
Following that post, Dexerto reached out to Keating for further details about his accusation, but he refused to give any further comment at this time.

Funnily enough, if he does turn out to be the real CoDBurner, it would mean that he mentioned himself in the third person numerous times in his posts, referring to himself as the “rich guy.”
At least if the Burner stops posting leaked information on Reddit now, it will be a tell-tale sign that his secret identity was indeed uncovered.
