During his return stream from Berlin, fans immediately flooded Dapr’s chat with concerns over the hate that he received, but the pro was quick to address the concerns. “It’s okay, I get it, genuinely it’s been a long time, I got sh*t-talked for such a long time now, I’m indifferent,” he said.

Dapr continued and revealed the gruesome extent of death threats: “Guys if I showed you my DMs I could show you 20 screenshots of people saying they’re going to dismember my mother because I knifed mixwell. I’m so used to it now, it’s like nothing to me. Whatever people say, it literally means nothing to me.”

With a sense of pride, and high expectations for your favorite team to perform well, fans can sometimes get upset, and dapr isn’t the first esports pro to receive death threats.

No matter what game you compete in, being at the top level is always going to come with hate from fans, but Dapr says that “that’s just life on the internet, they’re anonymous and they won’t do anything, but it’s just a thing that happens.”

Dapr will be looking to put up a strong fight and retake the throne with the rest of the Sentinels squad at Valorant Champions in December.
