Taking Accountability:
I have lived my entire life as if consequences do not apply to me. I have burned and used the people closest to me for my own personal gain, betrayed a community I swore to protect and bring into a new era of fortune, lastly time and time again losing myself in the process.
The Hacking Situation: To start off, yes I was absolutely hacking in GB XPs with my homies high as hell at 2am and I have multiple times in the past. I have never hacked in anything for money, never will. I did it solely for my own entertainment it was not for any financial gains. Not downplaying it becasue hacking is a serious problem especially in the scene right now. Also I do not expect any sympathy from anyone nor do I want it. The hacking started off as an experiment for myself and another tournament organizer so we could see exactly what it looked like so we could better understand and catch hackers in our tournaments. It was fun though being able to get high/drunk with my friends and just be the best on the map without even trying it became addictive. I was still able to compete at levels I had in the past and I did multiple times with no hacks included. I monitor cammed multiple times across many different tourneys, which I was not hacking in and still won. Anyways fast forward a few months and I am probably hacking in 99% of the GB XPs I was playing in (which we only played once or twice a month at this point). I justified it as, "this is not for money and I gain absolutely nothing from this" which was a terrible mindset. I am truly sorry to anyone that was bested by me illegitimately. To everyone saying, "Oh he beat me x amount of months ago in this tournament" or "He was cheating in a free entry" No I was not, you just fucking suck, get better. @medicate @sawcer
The @atFlirtation situation: He came to me in a time where BO4 tournaments were not hitting like they used to. The need for BO4 was dying out and I was regularly hosting jetpacks and ghosts variants. He said he wanted me to host a bo4 tournament for his friends and he would put up the prize pool for it. I agreed. He sent me $1,000 which immediately upon getting it I secured holdshift to cast, got my admins paid like I always do, and got a better mvp prize to entice more teams. Right off the jump over half of that was gone, we agreed to 10% of profits and at the end of the tournament it was only $107 for him to get. Which I sent to him, I admit knowing that theres little to no profit in tournaments directly that this deal would benefit me way more than him, which again was wrong. He approached me soon after the event asking to host a $10,000 tournament and what I thought the profit margains would be, I told him that would be better for a LAN I was planning at the time, which he agreed to, that never came to fruition but for someone who apparently just scammed him over a rack he was quick to come back with 10x the money asking to do it again. https://imgur.com/a/5Jhuzmi, even asking me to do giveaways with him for every follower I got $1.
The Aviddity situation: I used her plain and simple, we had a good past relationship and I knew she would help me. Starting off I lied to her face about everything that I had secured for the codzone company so she would feel safer in helping we with it. I wanted to see if this was gonna be profitable before I put out money registering the llc, getting copyrights, trademarks, and everything else I would need to run a successful business. She had a paralegal background and I needed her so I could run my business, legalzoom was charging $220+ for what I needed and I figured she would do it for free if I offered equity I did not have to give yet. We have since made up, but I still owe her a massive apology for belittling her work and tearing down her character to further my own agenda.
The iDraMattic situation: He was fucking useless from the jump and did nothing to help our company, everything he said in his twitlonger was fabricated bullshit and a pity speech. Even to go as far as to say I am a racist and many other things which simply is not the case. For everyone attacking me over his horrible work ethic and never ending cylce of waking up and 4pm est and scrimming valorant, you are wrong.
The DashThreads situation: I DO NOT OWN THAT COMPANY. NEVER HAVE.
By no means is this an excuse, but I have been battling my own demons for the past 6 months. My mental health has been severely deteriorating and I will be taking time to work on myself and be better moving forward, probably outside of Call of Duty. For the first time in 6 years I do not have to keep up this fake persona I have built. I am no longer Cheetowunga, I can finally just be Lucas.
