I usually don’t speak on things like this, but this is genuinely disappointing to see. Trash talk is part of competition, and I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with it. But there’s a difference between competitive trash talk and intentionally trying to humiliate someone over something like this. As a professional player, you represent an organization; your behavior reflects on them too. You’re also someone upcoming players look up to. That doesn’t mean you have to be perfect or never talk trash, but I do think there should be some level of maturity and awareness about what you say publicly. What makes it especially disappointing is that Zach used to come across as an incredibly mature and kind person. Unfortunately, this also isn’t the first time I’ve seen things go beyond normal trash talk. There was also the situation involving serious accusations toward LionBlaze that were publicly disputed. Being extremely good at Rocket League doesn’t make anyone more important than the people around them. YOU ARE JUST GOOD AT A VIDEO GAME. At the end of the day, we’re all people playing a video game, and I think basic respect should still come before any of that.
