Who is James Banks? Drugs, Gangs, and a Light Forward ~ TMM Episode 17

Meanwhile, WePlay folks are going around bad mouthing FGC TOs like Rick and calling them a "dumb fuck" while their side is signing partnership deals with sketchy gambling sites. Did WePlay run this by NRS or Bamco first? I don't see either okaying it. youtu.be/LPPb4zPBhgM?t= /7

Look, the FGC is no angel. Are there high school politics that go on between organizers? Absolutely. Is there hurt feelings? Yes. Is there active sabotage? Undoubtedly. But we also aren't offering $1k for folks to sign away their likeness using the FaceApp TOS as a template. /8

The folks at WePlay that are looking at this as "jealousy" or FGC TOs "trying to protect" a slice of the pie... what pie!?😂 If we're gonna be transparent, BE TRANSPARENT. Don't talk about forcing TOs to improve their condition when y'all are in bed with shady individuals. /9

Y'all... PAY ATTENTION Have you seen Bamco pushing the WePlay events on social media? Why isn't that?🤔 Did NRS push the event on their eSports Twitter account? No? Hmm...👀 Look at the timing of that 1xBet partnership announcement. March 24th. MK11 was the 25th. WTF!?!? /10

This isn't a call to boycott but for us to keep our heads on a swivel. WePlay could do right and end the 1xBet partnership if they want to lead by example. People clearly want them to succeed and enjoy the content, but getting CLEAN money involved is vital for growth & dev /End

1xBet is actively blocked when attempting to connect via VPNs in Australia, Germany, USA, UK, Poland, and Belgium. Group B odds + Group A results. I was unable to capture the odds for all of Group A unfortunately. There have been reports that odds were altered after bets placed.

Danielmado +230/Jopelix +133 vs BLACKBEARD Bilal -100/Awais Honey +110 vs. JDCR Super Akouma +131 vs Bilal Jopelix +322 vs JDCR Some interesting odds. If 1xBet wasn't sus, there's money to be made. Still extremely concerned about match influencing tho and 1xBet's practices tho.
