During a recent stream of his, Jason was playing duo with his friend Stewie2k, a well-known former Counter Strike Global Offensive professional player.
After streaming for about three hours, a teammate asked Jason to dodge the game so that they could move ahead to the next game since the odds of winning were pretty slim. Speaking about how he cannot dodge games anymore, Jason said:
“Well who knows, there might be a f***ing b***c on this squad. Might get f***ing hated for the rest of my life.”
In a condescending and rough tone, Jason went on to say:
“Jason, your game crashed! You dodged them dude! Oh my god Jason! You deserve all the death threats. You deserve every death threat you’ve ever…”
He then concluded his rant by mentioning:
“Yeah, I am not going trolling dude. I am not trolling either.”
He continued to stream for another ten more hours playing Valorant.
