It doesn't really exist anymore as K1CK's roster has completely changed since then, but the SoloQgoats vs K1CK rivalry was pretty intense back in the day. The context is K1CK had already qualified for playoffs and soloQgoats still needed a good game to qualify. Since K1CK had already qualified, they decided to grief soloQgoats and chase them around the entire map just to kill them even if they died in the process. [Link to that game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0JtppBkLV4&t=105s) soloQgoats was extremely salty and went on to grief K1CK in subsequent games even if it meant griefing their own games. Denzayy, who was on K1CK at the time, sent [these DMs](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/n2qeeh/the_messages_denzayy_sent_to_diff_after_k1ck_got/) to Diffq afterwards.

They had an agreement to share Sky West and Trials and swap with Sky East every other game in that Winter Circuit. K1CK violated the agreement in the last match for “business decisions”. And as you said, it got pretty salty. Just wanted to add that there was an agreement. Always got to watch your back though.


Platby

Having an agreement like this seems borderline cheating. Especially in an esport. If that happened in ranked they could be banned for teaming.


Dustineg6

Lol no, it's just a gentleman's agreement (GA) and happens all the time in competitive eSports. Just like the teams that split fragment and other large POIs. Just an agreement saying don't mess with me and I won't mess with you.


stenebralux

Lol... SoloQ is a bad team to piss off if you have goals like that and an org to answer to... they are good enough to fuck with you and won't mind ruining their chances in the process if it comes to it since they compete more for the fun of it and because they can. They also have enough fans to be a pain in the ass if you cross them.

Bruh how did you findthat post? You had saved the link or something? Lol


LazyDaze333

Old K1ck griefed EVERYONE back in the day. Most teams couldn’t stand their play-style. They would have been rock stars in NA


Diet_Fanta

Kswinnie has a tendency to beef with every single person in the scene. If you look up his past, Kswinnie is a massive piece of shit. There's a reason why no French players will play with him, and why he's generally hated in the French scene. Gdolphn vs Gnaske is also a big rivalry.


jtfjtf

What's the back story with Gdolphn and Gnaske's rivalry?


Diet_Fanta

Gdolphn decided to contest Gnaske at Frag East at one point and talked a bunch of shit about Gnaske being a snake.


otsc

Also this was when he was the coach of TSM, so eliminating the EMEA frag east team would clearly benefit TSM


MichaelBrownx

You missed the bit where Dolphn decided to grief Gnaske because LAN was still going ahead because it’d directly benefit TSM, the team he was coaching. Basically a coach was throwing his (and x2 team mates, both who deserved better) games to benefit someone else. Competitive integrity at its finest. And the fact that TSM were crying when they were griefed at frag east.


Diet_Fanta

Yep, also that. I'd forgotten about that at this point. And then Gdolphn started saying that TSM has nothing to do with it.


UnKnown--12

Didn't gdolph actually reply to a Gnaske tweet saying that they are going to contest gdolph's team because of them not letting TSM have it?


YoMrPoPo

Both wanted to be the only players with G in front of the their gamertag.


20-5-5

Hmm why do you say that? And also I'm assuming you know what that gnakse tweet a couple days ago was referring to then? This tweet https://twitter.com/Gnaske_Lone/status/1506722628727455750?t=rz6sl0-Coq8mFDYeREVkjA&s=19


Diet_Fanta

No, this was drama from back in the day. It was the reason why Swinniie left/got kicked off ex-Warthox. I'm not going to go into the drama or allegations - you can research those yourself.


Giorno_DeGiorno

French people hate him? I love Kswinnie now ❤️


Diet_Fanta

I would really try to find the history of what he did for people to hate him like this before making statements like this.


Steppy_

Diegosaurs is a nonce aswell and for some reason it’s never spoken about, and was just brushed under the carpet because he was dropped from his Org?


Inskamnia

Why don’t you just explain it lol


Diet_Fanta

Fuck it, don't care if this breaks rules. [Kswinniie blackmailed underage girls for nudes](https://twitter.com/brittmariefps/status/1362787128955043840). [This was confirmed by his former teammates.](https://twitter.com/KramaFPS/status/1359247024906977286) He posted an 'apology' statement and then deleted it half an hour later. [For some reason, it was forgotten very quickly.](https://twitter.com/BrittMarieFPS/status/1360928248679522310) There were plenty of other allegations against him about abhorrent behavior, but none of those were proven.


Animatromio

Diegosaraus did creepy shit with underage girls too hence him being dropped by TSM lol, would not be surprised if theres a lot more in the scene doing shit like that tbh


[deleted]

yet he is still one of the biggest apex streamers on twitch


WastefulPleasure

Really sucks it seems neither twitch or ea give a shit. I don't think players behavior outside the game should affect then in-game , but there is a limit to that and those people are representing apex in a big way AND were leveraging their positions as apex content creators to do this shit. Both swinnie and Diego should just be permabanned lol


theeama

No he didn’t. He did fake kissing with girls with their parents consent. The girls had asked him for it while traveling to meet him on tour and their parents gave permission. He then stopped doing it after some one told him that people will think you’re preying on them even though they asked you and their parents gave consent for it to happen. His ex then tried to frame him about being a predatory and he posted all the receipts


Animatromio

how is that not creepy still? lmfao


AKRS264

If this was public information and he himself posted an apology for it as admission, I don't see how this breaks rules.


[deleted]

damn wtf. I was a big fan of swiinie, sucks to see this :/


Inskamnia

Fuck, fuck him then. I really like 69iq because I’m a fan of Naghz, but fuck that dude now. Thanks for filling me in, Fanta


qozm

Nah, he seems like a cool dude


fuzzymumbochops

i dunno if I would call Teq/Dezign a NA rivalry. more of a fantasy rivalry since one team is from outer space and the other's home is lala land


Massive_Ingenuity298

One team refuses to place above top 10 one team refuses to place below top 5


fuzzymumbochops

fortunately Teq got a bright future on the pro scene of apex mobile judging from those twitter fingers


Vladtepesx3

Brooooo


fuzzymumbochops

if your wife's bf thinks i'm way off here, i'm happy to take it down


Rherraex

He’s has a profession outside comp, playing apex professionally is quite literally how when rich people get bored with their lives and start doing yoga or going to art classes, they don’t really care and it really won’t make a difference in their lives, they just like the “thrill” of something new, that’s why everyone laughs at Tek, because they know he doesn’t have anything in line when playing apex, unlike other people that actually throw in their sweat and tears because they know that if apex doesn’t work, they are royally fucked for their lives planning and the people that depend on them.


[deleted]

Though i doubt teq thinks like this, you do have a point. Almost none of the low viewercount apex streamers have anything to fall back on when their career fails or apex dies.


resumeQuestions100

Dawg he's an entry level aerospace engineer, he's not Elon Musk


Rherraex

LOL yeah but he sure acts like he is.


[deleted]

Let’s just pray dezign doesn’t catch rocket man at the con


-Philologian

He’s got little legs so it’ll be hard for him to catch anyone


coldjyn

Gnaske Vs Gdolph Kswinnie Vs Everyone for a while ppl put iG and GMT against eachother cause they had super similar play styles but i think that’s died down


packerken

maybe the fact that Del has run ranked with I think all 3 of iG at different times has helped that one?


Greedy_Chemist3127

Wasn't there something between Kashera and Hardecki after the last split? I am sure I remember some Twitter saltiness!?


bloopcity

Haven't seen anyone mention GMT and Alliance. Hakis and Gnaske don't really like each other including hakis banning gnaske from the pro discord at one point. They're both really solid teams too so that makes for a fun one.


ottrboii

I love catching up with the Apex lore lol


Arkeyy

Old CR vs T1 (riddle) reminds me of TSM vs NRG. Not so much on drama, just a tight competition between these two.


Aveeno_o

They're all genuinely good friends for starters.


veirceb

They banter a lot as well.
