In a recent online tournament hosted by Fate Legion (@FateLegion1 on Twitter), competitive player Dilly and his entire team Crazy Penguin got disqualified on the basis of toxicity for the former teabagging his own teammate.Dilly was quick to post a video of the situation on Twitter that has garnered over 500k views in just 24 hours. It is a screen capture of the tournament's livestream and showcases the exact moment Dilly “teabags” the deathbox of a Pathfinder that belongs to his fellow teammate.The moderator for the tournament quickly addressed the behavior, saying “that kind of stuff will not be tolerated." When esotic TTV, the player who got teabagged addressed it in the tournament's lobby, the moderator chose to shut down the lobby and stopped engaging in further debate.The video sparked a conversation on Twitter with esports team such as Spacestation Gaming and content creator Macro voicing their concerns:Spacestation Gaming@Spacestationcrazy how there are like 22 sextillion planets in the known universe and we live on the one where gamers get banned for teabagging1951124crazy how there are like 22 sextillion planets in the known universe and we live on the one where gamers get banned for teabaggingSoaR | Macro@TheMacroShownobody should be banned for teabagging in a video gameit’s not that deep3676197nobody should be banned for teabagging in a video gameit’s not that deepJake Lucky@JakeSuckyApex Pred player Dilly was permanently disqualified from “Fate Legion” tournaments after he teabagged his own teammate in an event.

Meanwhile, others questioned the credibility of Fate Legion as an esports organisation:𝔻𝕚𝕧𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕥𝕪 (the camos guy) 👾🥷🦑🏳️‍🌈@DivinitySweats@dillykami @FateLegion1 "no competitive gaming allows tbagging bodies":LITERALLY PROFESSIONAL CALL OF DUTY:twitter.com/ssillentninja/…sillent ⓘ@ssillentninjaYo @ATLFaZe we need another comm vid. @aBeZy has gone sicko501Yo @ATLFaZe we need another comm vid. @aBeZy has gone sicko https://t.co/1mKTv9H0qJ@dillykami @FateLegion1 "no competitive gaming allows tbagging bodies":LITERALLY PROFESSIONAL CALL OF DUTY:twitter.com/ssillentninja/…jetsam영진@yeungjinjetsam@dillykami @FateLegion1 "this is professional" - man in a tank top101111@dillykami @FateLegion1 "this is professional" - man in a tank topArk@Arkology_@dillykami @FateLegion1 why are people so pressed about t-bagging.

Majority of the gaming industry has been t-bagging since the early halo days 😂While an official statement is yet to be provided by Fate Legion or anyone associated with them, some users have decided to take a neutral take. Dilly also requested that everyone not harrass the moderators or any individual associated with Fate Legion:Dilly@dillykamihi can we not personally insult him pls thanks just thought the reason was stupid that's all4465hi can we not personally insult him pls thanks👍 just thought the reason was stupid that's allNEXON@N3x0nPlayz@TheMacroShow People shouldn’t be banned but shouldn’t do it either.

It does nothing to promote the game and just makes you look extremely immature.641@imMarshy_ @JakeSucky I mean - let’s be honest - it’s kinda childish and isn’t allowed in any other major professional sports.Can you imagine the silliness - hit a home run and t-bag the pitcher. It does nothing to promote the game and just makes you look extremely immature.The debate of what should be considered toxicity in online gaming could be considered subjective in nature. Competitive games do provide plentiful options to combat toxicity, such as reporting the use of foul language. Games such as the likes of Rainbow Six Siege and Call of Duty have previously banned players for in-game indecency.Apex Legends Season 13 Saviors is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Nintendo Switch.
