Twitch streamer Georgie "Pokelawls" apologized to GTA 5 RP gamer PENTA following a recent in-game dispute.
Both streamers had a showdown on August 1, during which Pokelawls ended up calling PENTA a "leech" and spoke about his interaction with the latter during a party.
The next day, the Canadian streamer wanted to set things right and apologized to PENTA by stating:
"Listen, PENTA, I'm sorry for saying the leech s**t yesterday. That was L of me."
Pokelawls addresses the GTA 5 RP drama and apologizes to PENTA
The streamer drama started earlier this month when Georgie played an iconic in-game persona called Bogg Dann and came face-to-face with PENTA, who was roleplaying as a cop.
After some back-and-forth, the latter asked the former to put down a bicycle in an attempt to stop power gaming, and after a while, PENTA ended up tasing Pokelawls.

The gesture did not sit well with Georgie, and he resorted to calling the GTA 5 RP gamer the following:
"P**sy leech!"
He then justified his actions by saying:
"I'm done! Bro, I didn't do anything. Chat, you see how they do that s**t, bro? Ugh, what a p**sy, man. F***ing leech! There's literally a reason why no one likes that guy. Like, holy f**k, it's so cringe!"
During the same stream, Georgie claimed that no one in-game or in real life likes to hang out with PENTA and recalled an interaction he had with the latter at a party.
Fast forward to August 2, the Toronto, Canada-based streamer addressed the situation during the starting moments of his stream. At the 20-minute mark, he claimed that directly messaging PENTA wouldn't work and sought to make a public apology. He said:
"I don't know how else to do this. I don't think DM'ing him will work. Maybe if I clip; if I say something on stream and clip it and have you guys send it to him, I don't know. I don't know what's the best move, chat."

A minute later, he asked his viewers to start clipping the livestreaming moment and issued an apology by stating that calling PENTA a leech was "L of him." Pokelawls continued with his address and said:
"I don't know why I instigated it, okay? I was just a... I'm still being petty about the alert s**t, okay? But, I'm pretty sure you were going to arrest me and s**t, and I was just... you know, I was mad."
The minute-long apologetic statement came to an end when the Twitch streamer added:
"But, listen, I would like to DM you and clear things up, okay? And... yeah. I know you don't give a f**k because the majority of our people, you probably are farming that s**t, so, yeah. You know what I'm saying?"
Fans react to the streamer's apology
