Summit1g and Lazarbeam Hilariously Mock Stream Snipers

Popular streamers know how it feels to be stream sniped. For those who don’t know what it is, it means when a player tries to join a streamer’s lobby at the same time and after managing to join it, takes him/her out. This is easy for the person because they know the streamer’s location through their stream. Over the years, people have developed various opinions regarding it. But Summit1g has always considered it to be a malpractice. He recently took to Twitter to call out such stream snipers.

Take a look at what he tweeted:

This may seem like a random thing to tweet but there may have been an incident recently to back this up. Streamer Lazarbeam also jumped in and had a few words of his own to say.

Summit1g has always hated stream sniping

Stream sniping has always been frowned upon. Summit himself has called it ‘cheating’ way back in 2017, when this issue blew up in PUBG.

Pubg Stream sniping fiasco

This was when PUBG had decided to ban certain players for stream sniping after a few streamers complained. Shroud and Summit were playing a game of PUBG where they were allegedly killed by stream snipers, multiple times. A popular PUBG community member named Lotoe also killed them in a game and received a week-long ban. This divided communities on Reddit, Discord everywhere and it blew up like anything.

Even Ninja had his fair share of controversy with this. In 2018, he was pretty mad at a certain player from killing him in Fortnite and accused him of stream sniping. An investigation by Epic later cleared the guy of the accusation. This led the Fortnite community to rally against Ninja. They basically told him that just because he has the influence, it doesn’t mean he can call out anybody he wants.

There is also the infamous duo, Wadu and Bananaman, who have managed to stream snipe Shroud on multiple occasions. While it was funny at first, the fans quickly realized it wasn’t something to be encouraged and, well, that saga was soon over.

Summit calling stream snipers out at this point again is still justified considering it still rife in the gaming community. It just sucks for a streamer because he/she is just trying to put out some great content. This practice is certainly very unethical and needs to stop.
