How Apex Legends' Sh*t-Talking Superstar Got Banned for Fighting Cheaters - Video

Competitive video games are stressful. Whether you play CS:GO, League of Legends, Valorant or any other game, you will tilt. And in the heat of the moment, it’s usually the developers of the game who end up catching strays.

Usually the anger subsides and you move on with your day. You forgive the devs for their sins. But sometimes, you go too far.

Meet the trash-talking king of Apex Legends: Jacob "HisWattson" McMillin, who went from grinding ranked to becoming one of the top players at the professional level.

But HisWattson is also known for being outspoken, and at times… a little toxic. Whether it's towards other pros or the actual developers of Apex, HisWattson doesn't pull any punches and time and time again it's landed him in hot water.

So, how did a kid from the middle of nowhere become one of the best IGLs in the game? Was he really punished by EA over his tweets? And if he is using his clout to force them to fix Apex's cheating problem, is he doing it the right way?
