Indian Valorant stars came forward to protest against Moosey

Moosey is a Valorant player from Malaysia. He was part of Timing Monster Gaming, a Singapore-based esports organization, which was disbanded last July.

Sway is currently playing for Couldn't Care Less. She is also the content creator of Velocity Gaming. However, it all started with Moosey's tweet on September 4, when he tried to demean Swayambika, aka Sway, for her poor performance in a ranked match. Sway matched with Moosey twice in ranked games but failed to deliver her best in both matches.

Moosey took the opportunity to demean her and tweeted his point with a screegrab of scorecards from the concerned matches. He suggested Sway queue on the Mumbai Server rather than play on the Singapore Server.

These comments made Indian fans furious and some protested against his behavior. Global Esports' Ganesh "SK Rossi" Gangadhar also shared his views on the matter on his YouTube livestream and said that a player can have a bad day, but tweeting about someone's performance is wrong.

However, Moosey didn't take any of the feedback well and started to make racist comments against Indians. Indian fans then raised their voice against Moosey. Some Indian professional players also came forward to protest against Moosey's comments. Velocity Gaming's Tejas "Rite2Ace" Sawant, Agneya "Marzil" Koushik, Godlike Esports' Tejas "Rexy" Koitan and others tweeted against Moosey's conduct.

There's a difference between being critical of your own region and being a racist outsider. You -from past encounters and a review of your social media/streams are a downright toxic piece of racist degenerate filth. It takes talent to be the most hated player in the region. (1/2)

You are nothing but a brat living under the umbrella of your parent's fortune with no identity for yourself. I pity your family for being cursed with cancer such as yourself and hope you find your way out of the defense mechanism you've built to fight your loneliness. (2/2)

Sway's Pakistani teammate and coach Ayesha, aka Mythica, also stood by her side:

South Asian teams and players have previously faced issues of racism many times. This time everyone came forward and protested against the same.
