Yesterday (May 9), FaZe Kaysan hosted a $25,000 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III tournament which featured some of the biggest names in the streaming scene. Team 2, for instance, had the likes of Felix "xQc," Tyler "Trainwreckstv," Rani "StableRonaldo" and Matthew "Nadeshot." As things turned out, this tournament had a major controversy.

However, things didn't quite unfold as expected for Team 2, as they ended up losing the final 3-2. A lot of streamers had to say a lot of things. Trainwreckstv, for instance, said this:
