A recap of the controversy at MAD Lions on Twitter
After MAD Lions was knocked out of Worlds 2021, Revenant said on Twitter that he feels sorry seeing Javier “Elyoya” Prades being forced to carry the team on his back along with Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser. He also said that Carzzy “doesn’t have the level” to compete with the team and would choose Victor “Flakked” Lirola on the starting roster instead.
Revenant’s response was met with harsh criticism from fans and he deleted the post. He put out an apology stating that he did not intend to disrespect Carzzy or his teammates. He said that he apologized to Carzzy directly to sort things out.
MAD Lion's response to the situation
The situation calmed down after the apology but MAD Lions tweeted out their take on the situation and stated that Revenant is not an owner of the organization. MAD Lions stated that it is proud of the team’s performance, including Carzzy, and that the conversation started by Revenant is “misleading.” The organization revealed that Revenant is “not part of the ownership group or management and does not speak for Mad Lions or Overactive Media.”
Carzzy responded to the situation on social media stating, “My friends don’t be too mad, it doesn’t matter what someone who doesn’t have a single clue about the game says, I am not going to feel down, because someone such as Revenant said something like this. Just stay happy. Don’t let other people get your down. I love MAD.”
