Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring – Head to http://keeps.com/bwc to get 50% off your first order of hair loss treatment. (AD) The last time we delved into the world of video games, we explored the turbulent story of former Offline TV regular, Fedmyster, who found himself at the centre of allegations of inappropriate behaviour. Fedmyster's demise came during the peak of the games industry MeToo movement in the middle of 2020, however, beyond this time more stories have been shared. 2021 was another seismic year for the games industry, the publisher heavyweight Activision Blizzard found itself facing many allegations of misconduct that indicated a serious issue with the culture lurking deep within the industry. However, months before this reached the headlines, one of eSports' most talented and revered players was facing his own headline defining moment. Jay "Sinatraa" Won, the 2019 Overwatch League Champion, dual-MVP and World Cup Winner – who caused a stir after switching to the newly released Valorant – found himself dogged by allegations from his former girlfriend Cleo Hernandez, with whom he held a relationship for 9-months with through 2019. In this investigation, we re-explore the allegations and analyse the entire saga from the first document through to the present day. With questions still unanswered, how does a community react to seemingly credible accusations? Let's find out.
