He said he hates China or he’s a China hater or something and it probably got translated and people thought he was being racist. And now people feel betrayed and angry I guess since he was also decently popular there I believe.

I cant find the clip in his vods but this reddit post says he said "I‘m a hater，I‘m a China hater”，then chose heretics over EDG

I agree but as another redditor has already commented that China has a different internet and their people do not know our internet slangs they might have thought he's hating on their country

Oh boy. Things like this are annoying when interpreted bad, because it’s also difficult to defend himself since they use a whole different internet thing there. I guess maybe it sounds worse when translated into mandarin without previous context about how some people in other countries speak

I think it probably got translated without any context, and people in China just see this guy saying I hate China and maybe they don’t know being a hater is a thing /half joke in the west so now they think he was just being racist

He said china hater as in china doubter probably because he thinks china is a weaker valorant region than emea which is fair to say. He was picking between TH and EDG and voted TH. Chinese fans translated it wrong and misunderstood

why do chinese people think that they have perfect understanding of the english language and that they comprehend all nuances and double meanings lol

if someone said some shit to me in a different language i would never assume the worst, that is absolutely braindead

everybody and their mother knows that CN ppl can be pretty sensitive e.g the whole GENG thing. THINK CN fans why would he say something "bad" so casually if he actually meant ill will, considering the impact it would have on him and his org? Wouldn't it make more sense if he actually meant something else here?

he couldve just said he was a CN doubter but instead he said hate which was a bad choice of wording. would anyone even get hate though if they said they were an EU hater or an NA hater?

CN ppl are pretty sensitive to racist，I suggest everyone need to completely exclude the word China.
