4:32:41 Watch that part and you'll understand; the female host says you aren't allowed to Alt-Tab.
4:44:20 They asked the host if "stream sniping" was allowed.
The male host said it was permitted, but Alt-tabbing was not.

An addition to improve the viewing angle
1. This wasn't the first time the tournament was held; in previous years, "stream sniping" was considered normal and was even permitted to "create content" or "farm clips."
2. Knowing it had been allowed previously, Himass asked the tournament staff—officials appointed by Krafton—before starting the match: "Is stream sniping allowed—just like in previous years?" The staff answered "YES." Himass and Tanvuu even double-checked, and the answer was "YES" both times.
3. Invited to the tournament to contribute to the community as "streamers" rather than "professional players," they simply wanted to have fun with everyone and create content.
4. Himass admitted that after the showmatch, the organizers (Krafton) demanded an apology post to smooth things over and ensure no further issues arose. Initially, Himass and Tanvuu refused; from their perspective, they hadn't done anything wrong, so why apologize? However, under pressure from Krafton, they were forced to post apologies—a decision they later regretted. Immediately afterward, Krafton and the female streamer "S" used those very apology posts to accuse Himass and Tanvuu. If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you feel aggrieved? Do you think Himass and Tanvuu were actually in the wrong?
5. The penalties are truly absurd; in their official announcement, Krafton themselves apologized for management and communication failures, admitting fault for mishandling the rulebook creation process. It is sheer madness to amend the rules on September 19, 2026, specifically to penalize an action that took place on September 17, 2026. Do you honestly find that reasonable?
6. Based on what I have shared, I hope you guys understand that it is precisely because of the injustice faced by Himass and Tanvuu—and Krafton’s brazen attitude—that the Vietnamese community must stand united. We share a collective resolve to restore the honor of these two top-tier players. We have neither the time nor the blind stupidity to defend something that was a violation from the very start.

@SimplyMatthias That's right, I acknowledge that "stream sniping" is completely wrong. But look closely at point 2, do you really find it normal to be penalized by Krafton for something that Krafton itself permits? It’s absolutely insane.
Out of respect, I hope that those who do not yet know the full story will read everything I have said to gain a better understanding of this event.
You should understand these basics:
1. This wasn't the first time the tournament was held; in previous years, "stream sniping" was considered normal and was even permitted to "create content" or "farm clips."
2. Knowing it had been allowed previously, Himass asked the tournament staff—officials appointed by Krafton—before starting the match: "Is stream sniping allowed—just like in previous years?" The staff answered "YES." Himass and Tanvuu even double-checked, and the answer was "YES" both times.

2020: Withheld $100K in prize money.
2024: KDF Gyumin was caught stream-sniping the map in PWS but got covered for.
2025: Tried to withhold over $200K from Unknown Worlds over a deal, but lost the lawsuit.
2026: Banned 2 top-tier players from a 4fun tournament over a rule that didn’t even exist.
Looking at everything that has happened in the past, I don’t think this is just a coincidence 🤏 🤏

This will be the last time I talk about PUBG, Krafton, or any PUBG community on my personal account before I go back to yapping about LoL, DF, TFT, and everything else.
I hope that every player in the world can pursue their career fairly, with their rights protected by clean, transparent, and well-defined rules. It is heartbreaking to see the brightest years of a player’s career being forced to come to an end because of the shady, ambiguous, and frankly ridiculous way a tournament is operated.
Sports are supposed to be a world without discrimination. They are not just about one person or one particular community, but about a shared voice that belongs to everyone. It is terrifying to see that spirit being trampled on, disrespected, and swept under the rug because of the superiority complex of a certain group of people.
All they needed was an excuse. They wanted to walk away from a market that had contributed so much to them, and before leaving in such a cowardly manner, they chose to revel in it and leave behind a stain that should never have been placed on the names of talented players.
But it’s okay. Karma will come. All that gloating is nothing more than an inflated ego and an overwhelming sense of narcissism.
We have more than one road ahead of us.
Over the past few days, I have also seen some incredibly beautiful things from the Vietnamese esports community. Although this is a drama within the PUBG community, people from LoL, TFT, and other gaming communities across Vietnam have all come together around the same issue. They showed their support, called for boycotts of things they believed were undeserving of support, and stood behind the players who were harmed.
That is what the true spirit of sportsmanship should look like.
W. Respect Vietnam.
I DISCOVERED SOMETHING VERY SUSPICIOUS. WHY DID SHE SAY SHE ONLY HAD ONE SCREEN (THE SCREEN USED FOR LIVE STREAMING HAS A 16:9 ASPECT RATIO), BUT SHE HAD A VERY WIDE VIEWING ANGLE FOR USING THE MOUSE, SO IT'S LIKE THREE 16:9 SCREENS WERE JOINED TOGETHER?

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE GLOBAL PUBG ESPORTS COMMUNITY: UNFAIR TREATMENT, RETROACTIVE RULE CHANGES & TARGETED BIAS AGAINST VIETNAMESE PLAYERS
The recent incidents at the PUBG Asia Stars event have exposed a deeply flawed and biased operational system by the publisher. Instead of addressing their own poor rulebook and lack of technical standards in a casual showmatch, they chose to scapegoat and ruthlessly target Vietnam's representatives—TanVuu and Himass.
Here is the undeniable truth about how the publisher manipulated the situation:
1️⃣ The Flawed Initial Rulebook (Sept 14): The official rulebook published on September 14 contained no clear regulations prohibiting the alleged actions during this casual showmatch format.
2️⃣ Retroactive Rule Tampering (Sept 19): Realizing their initial rules left no grounds for punishment, organizers secretly and retroactively modified the rulebook, re-issuing it on September 19 just to fabricate a legal basis to penalize the Vietnamese players. This is a blatant, dishonest attempt to legalize an unjust witch hunt.
3️⃣ One-Sided Investigation & Zero Transparency: While aggressively digging to corner TanVuu and Himass, organizers completely turned a blind eye and refused to transparently investigate other regions—especially the home region, South Korea—where similar or worse situational behaviors likely occurred. Double standards at its finest.
🛑 To be crystal clear: We are not asking for any special favors or preferential treatment for our players. What we demand is absolute transparency, genuine fairness, and a consistent, uniform enforcement of rules for every single case, without double standards.
⚠️ A WARNING TO ALL GLOBAL REGIONS:
If a publisher can rewrite rules behind closed doors on Sept 19 to punish players for something not banned on Sept 14, they can do it to ANY team, ANY region, tomorrow. Today it’s Vietnam; tomorrow it could be yours.
We call upon the global community, partner teams, and major organizations to open your eyes:
Do not let double standards dictate who gets treated fairly.
Demand accountability, transparency, and clear rulebooks from Krafton and event organizers.
Question whether a game lacking a fair and transparent competitive ecosystem still deserves a spot on global stages like the Esports World Cup (@EWC_EN@EWC_AR).
Stop the corruption. Stand for true fairness and protect the players before your favorite region becomes their next victim.

Honestly, after witnessing everything unfolding with PUBG lately, I have to admit that South Korea really did a great job with the show. It accurately reflects what this disgusting country is actually doing, along with a populace made ignorant by information and social media.
@hanha124343 Hahahaha, you even had to create a burner account and pretend to be Japanese. You have to admit, you guys are actually ashamed to speak in Korean, aren't you?
@thaswoon@pattrick_36 A moronic, stupid piece of trash like you should just shut your mouth and go masturbate over your own sick country. It is truly a wretched, filthy, and disgusting nation
