On 6th Nov 2021, the Nickmercs was playing Apex Legends with 72hrs and Deed and had a difficult time throughout the livestream. The fans flooded the streamer with suggestions and strategies. And it was a matter of time when these suggestions turned into a heated argument. As a result, the streamer asked fans to stop being toxic and criticizing his decisions. Nickmercs told fans to understand what the team was actually trying to achieve and stop over-analyzing his every move.

The streamer said that he won’t be referring to chat for his every other move regardless of if they win or lose. He shared it’s very irritating to watch a screen full of arguments in between the match. If not controlled, there comes a time when everyone will start doing it. That is when the streamer warned about straight banning people permanently. Nickmercs also told that he’s all open to supportive and constructive arguments, but won’t tolerate behavior like this.

This is what the streamer told the fans:

“We don’t need five thousand people on our f**king ear when something doesn’t go our way, especially when we are talking about it. Just allow us to have that conversation even if it is in front of you without the f**king bullsh*t. You guys just make it worse, you make everybody a little bit more uncomfortable, you increase the tension you know..when you do that. When you are supportive, it’s the opposite.”
