“Something has just been brought to my attention that I am not proud of,” he said. “When I was 13, I used ‘f*g’ in two tweets. It is a vile and derogatory word [and] I am disgusted by this. This does not represent me or my community and I hope my actions since then show that.”

He added that he will be doing a charity stream on October 5 to cement his support for the LGBTQ+ community, as well as making a personal donation to Stonewall, an LGBTQ+ rights charity in the UK.

Warzone pros & streamers show support

A number of top Warzone pros and streamers reached out to thank Fifakill for his apology and assure him that he’s clearly grown since then.

HusKerrs assured him that “your actions from years ago when you were 13 definitely don’t represent you today.”

Meanwhile, Cloud9 streamer EmZ assured him that “you have took [sic] responsibility for what you have done in the past and clearly you’re nothing like that now.”
