Transcripts
hello everyone I have finally decided to
make a video that I've been meaning to
make for a very very long time now and
actually uh looking back at all of the
notes this video will be absolutely
tragically hilarious I apologize for
taking so long to make this video but
it'll all make sense very soon anyways
for those of you that have been watching
my channel for quite a while you'll know
exactly how we got to a million
subscribers good quality content unique
challenges IRL videos rank climbs easily
a th000 hours spent in the past eight
years brainstorming video ideas alone to
make new original ideas whenever I could
well unfortunately a few things have
happened in the last few years that I
haven't ever talked about ever and um I
ended up going from posting daily edited
videos to not posting for several months
straight and by the way before we
continue There is is going to be a ton
of good and positive things in this
video but before that I need to explain
a few bad things that happened in my
personal life so in January 2021 my
father was diagnosed with cancer
obviously this was the worst news I have
ever gotten in my entire life past and
present on top of this my grandmother
who helped raise me as a child when my
parents were working all the time uh
began declining in health this was in
January now this this was really bad
okay this was really bad it was constant
sleepless nights anxiety attacks you can
imagine how it' go then a few months
later moving into April I got myself in
a bit of trouble with the community when
I found out about a tool that could be
used to break the League of Legends
client and you could literally use
practice tool in a 5v5 custom game just
to understand the severity of this
discovery I have literally had four
different meetings with riot in the past
years trying to explain to them how
having practice tool in 5v5 could
literally revive the League of Legends
YouTube scene this was the greatest tool
I ever could have dreamed of for making
original creative League content like
you guys as viewers do you want 1,00 AP
Mal fight for the thousandth time or do
we want a tool that could give an iron
player 100% cooldown reduction versus
five LCS Pro players anyways I knew this
could be something huge so I told all my
content creator friends to come make
videos with me so we could get some
Banger content together we ended up
stockpiling footage for a few weeks
straight before everything went horribly
horribly wrong I had the idea of having
myself and a few others make an
introductory video to a new creative
form of multiplayer practice tool
content I had a bunch of viewers come
into a 5v5 practice tool game with me
and pretend like they had no clue what
was going on the idea was to create
shock Factor until we did the big reveal
at the end explaining exp that it was
custom 5v5 practice tool and a lot of
new and exciting content was coming in
the immediate future however my friends
this is when things went horribly
horribly wrong now let me explain I am
not a coder I know nothing about coding
or javascripts or anything like that
when someone has to code aexe file to
break into the League of Legends client
to enable practice tool into a 5v5
custom game I thought that we could
reasonably simplify that as hacking King
the client boy was I wrong hey guys
today I'm going to show you how fellow
League YouTubers have hacked the
practice tool and managed to play in
multiplayer version in this moment I'd
like to show you how hard this thing is
to do time to be a crazy hacker and
mother damn I'm good did you guys see
how much effort I put into this I'm
sorry guys but I might need to stop
doing YouTube videos now as I am
currently waiting for job offers from
CIA and FBI after myself and a few
others posted our videos all in similar
Style with a big reveal at the end I
went on to Twitter and found this tweet
from skin spotlights I don't get why
content creators love to lie how they do
stuff and say they magically hacked
something when they didn't and it's just
a convenient bug that magically appeared
and anyone can do and which my current
guess is someone in nocturn screwed up
much hacks were used totally not that
right somehow accidentally removed the
practice tool Max limit of one play
player on
PBE unfortunately due to IRL
circumstances I was dealing with I
really wasn't in the strongest mental
state to regulate my emotions when
reading that when I read that myself and
my content creator friends were being
accused of loving to lie on top of it
being said that anyone could hop into a
5v5 practice school custom game just
because it was a mistake from Riot let's
just say I should have left my replies
in the draft she three posts am I really
living in your head it's just a YouTube
title to make it more appealing you
wouldn't know because you're not a real
content creator eat my dick that my
friends is when I learned not to mess
with skin spotlights biggest mistake of
my career ironically it actually wasn't
even the tweet that caused any real
issue it was what was yet to come the
vanad drill another content creator who
makes bug videos got involved into the
mix when he thought I was attacking him
as well even though there had not been
any mention of his name at all
throughout his video it was just a
recapping of exactly what I mentioned
before it's not actually hacking it's a
scripting exe to break into legal
Legends API clients nocturn and it's
incredibly easy to do also mention in
the video was a screenshot of the
original title of the video that lasted
for an entire two minutes on YouTube
before I changed it myself for being
misleading where i' said it was a rank
game so as you can see in the title he
says he hacked the practice tool into
ranked 5v5 to a surprise of absolutely
no one it wasn't ranked and some people
didn't really like it and while I had no
negative intentions with my initial
hacking video I definitely do understand
where I went wrong and you best believe
that mistake will not be made twice I do
wish that in vanger's video he hadn't
use a screenshot of the title I had for
just the first two minutes saying it was
done in a rank game before I myself
decided to change it and then using a
completely unrelated game that Ross boom
Sox posted as a gotcha and I do also
wish that this part of the video hadn't
been completely left out to paint me as
a villain but seriously though guys this
is custom 5v5 with my viewers we have so
many fun ideas coming practice tool 5v5
is here subscribe for so many unique
videos leave a like and I'll see you
next time peace out but understandably
when you don't like someone I suppose
you want to paint the picture the way
you desire moving on 2 months after
practice gate 2021 unfortunately my
grandmother did pass away obviously it
sucks but it is what happens when you
get super duper old H and then and then
my friends not one month later scam gate
2021 you cited other people have been
doing this so I went ahead and I looked
at all the people that Professor aalii
claims to have helped out and I went
through all their
analytics and most of the time they're
actually dying or they're pretty much
the same I'm showing it on my screen I
went through every single one none of
them experience growth or if they do
it's nothing that could be directly
translated or correlated with Professor
aali so it seems really weird in fact
some of them ended up quitting streaming
and never had any success in the first
place some of their videos that twitch
or YouTube oh it's everything I looked
at everything I think a lot of you
already know about the situation since I
made a video on it a year later or so so
I'll just briefly recap since I started
doing YouTube myself I used to help new
streamers by making them YouTube
channels uploading for them daily
promoting their videos on my channels
mentoring them giving them sponsor ERS
everything you could imagine to help
them for half of the revenue that their
YouTube channel makes these are just a
few of the creators I've helped in the
past zag Dante foged for the win two
kismi long story short I was going to
work with another streamer named kismi
to do a management deal but with twitch
this time so kismi offers the twitch
management deal to someone named FP then
a month later FP ends up flaming kismi
on a Smurf and when he found out it was
kismi he decided to Double Down and say
that the management deal he was offered
was predatory and pure evil
unfortunately being that it was mid
pandemic this was Peak everyone trying
to cancel each other LS decided to get
involved saying that me managing people
was a predatory scam showing declining
viewership analytics of people that I've
never managed in my life as uh as proof
failing to show that I've helped bring
up some of the biggest creators in
League of Legends from next to nothing
at the time I remember watching Charisma
get in a call with ls while I was laying
in bed stun locked with Stress and
Anxiety had life been a little bit less
cursed at the time I'm sure Ellis and I
could have had a conversation on his
stream and solved everything then and
there and while he certainly did do
irreparable damage to my reputation I do
respect the fact that when I was in
Korea last year he reached out to me we
had a very mature conversation about
everything and honestly if none of this
management scam drama happened I'd
probably be in love the dude is dope
anyways unfortunately when a drama
happens online as a spectator it's
infinitely easier to form an opinion on
the first side you see or the side you
just choose to believe rather than doing
any form of extensive research to know
if you're right I'm certainly no
stranger to this moving on there were
actually an entire four months where I
somehow managed to not get cancelled and
that my friends is what led to the grand
finale of
2021 the death of my father and unlike
any creators I've seen deal with this
situation in the past I didn't make a
30-minute video on it I actually just
didn't want to talk about it publicly at
all
um it was a very miserable time but also
looking back I'm very relieved to know
that happened because I know that the
struggle had ended so not the best year
some might argue definitely had some
better ones 2022 though it was looking
up I met my steps sister Jade life calm
down a bit started a serious ring climb
and in Just 2 months got to 650 LP two
wins away from Challenger right before
Kim Jong un's evil cousin AKA tsm's
former LCS midlaner inted me and then I
Rage Quit ranked for half a year overall
though life was peaceful for a few
months and then boom [ __ ] in the ass
yet again by Adam Sandler I do not know
how you sleep at night knowing how many
people you have stolen from and lied to
to there are people you have stolen from
whose wedding you attended who you knew
in real life you're just not fit to be
here you're not fit to work here we
still haven't been paid for them over a
year later how could anybody have
expected this so you're either lying
about the lawsuit or you're lying about
this we couldn't just go one year
without something going on for the love
of God so story time assuming you're not
a hippie who doesn't care about money
it's every content Creator's dream to
get a Facebook mixer YouTube or any deal
with another streaming platform to make
content usually they pay you this crazy
amount of money to make extra content on
their platform and all you have to do is
promote it to your audience on your
social medias I was offered a deal with
Facebook to make a bunch of content for
a year-long contract and I'd get paid a
bunch of money every single month
perfect timing I just spent an entire
year off getting cancelled having my
family literally cut in half and I was
eager to get back into the Zone on top
on top of this I have always prided
myself on paying for the best editors
and paying them well so it's like okay
just got a juicy New Deal and now I can
afford to pay my editors for constant
uploads yet again bet daily rank series
uploads new hardcore one lifee series
new challenges IRL and in League little
did I know I was about to be cucked this
is the face of the man who cucked my
2022 Redemption Arc this [ __ ] guy guy
this man Richard little AKA poito of the
sponsorship company influencer stuff
managed to somehow get himself in with
Facebook of all companies to find
influencers to sign for their content
creation program and I know Richard for
several years he was recommended to me
by a big league YouTuber and he had
worked with most League YouTubers in the
past so I had no idea what I'm about to
tell you what
happened month after month throughout
2022 too I had been told the money you
earned from Facebook is coming there's
just a bug in Facebook system oh you'll
be paid no problem soon soon oh the
money's coming the money's
coming well as I'm sure you may have
guessed by now the money was not coming
myself as well as someone who I managed
who I got the deal for as well not sure
if they want to be named ended up
getting a few payments here and there
just to keep going so that he could milk
us further but at the end of the day a
very large amount of money was
completely stolen from us I estimate I
personally
lost uh around 30 to 40 Grand and on top
of that I believe I ate some of the
losses for my friend I manag so that he
could pay for medical bills and life in
general fun stuff youtubing I tell you
fun stuff essentially this man edged me
for months on end until I eventually
went directly to Facebook so that they
could pay me directly they literally
ended up breaking their contract with
Richard little when they found out we
weren't getting paid and if there's one
positive to this whole situation it's
that he probably had a mild panic attack
when he found out about this but at the
end of the day it turns out he had been
scamming tons of content creators for
many many years and I was never going to
mention any of this um because other
than the occasional drama that I put
myself into or I get pulled into I
really do just want to make videos to
entertain you guys but since the
timeline matters this pretty much killed
my desire to succeed for the rest of
2022 and early 2023 I had essentially
gone completely broke paying for these
editors to thrive and have uh an
environment where they're you know happy
to work and now I wasn't getting the
money I was using to pay for them and
that's my friends was pretty much GG I
pretty much did absolutely nothing for
the first 8 months of 2023 until I
decided I wanted to see if I could pull
off a miracle by going to Korea and
hitting Challenger at that point I
wasn't sure if doing League content made
sense anymore due to everything i' had
mentioned above but I knew that I'd
always wanted to play in Korea ever
since I was a little kid and if I didn't
end up doing it I'd always regret it if
you're unfamiliar with the Korean server
it's pretty much the Disneyland of
League of Legends everyone has 1 to 10
ping and the games are incredibly
competitive compared to na or EU and
while my goal of hitting Challenger
didn't work out we did Peak at 2 100 LP
instead of the 600 needed and now I was
officially too broke to even afford
thumbnails to mislead my audience and
now for the grand finale of the negative
part of this video whilst I was in Korea
going for Challenger playing 18 hours a
day just minding my own business I got
ass blasted to Infinity by a faceless AI
YouTuber be watching a video called how
Professor collie ruined his reputation
it's this drama Channel made a video on
me professor colie was once one of the
fastest growing League of Legends
content creators yet his journey took a
disappointing turn plunging him into
lowquality clickbait videos unnecessary
drama I swear to God if anyone is
looking to get easy money and Views just
make up some hate video about how I run
a religious cult or something ridiculous
500,000 views on absolute nonsense the
entire video was him basically just
saying how he's a redditor that doesn't
like for fun content and when it came
down to any real issues or fraud he used
example after example completely out of
context and I'm not accusing him of
anything but a lot of people seem to
have noticed his script sounds like it
was literally made from
AI I could break down 95% of this video
for the nonsense it is but to avoid this
video being 2 hours long I wanted to
share some of the most ridiculous ones
only was it his bread and butter series
but he was often sponsored by sight
selling botted Smurf and or lowy low
accounts
all right all right first things
first if anyone can ever find any form
of me doing that I will personally
PayPal you all the money left in my bank
account 0 it is a strange strange lie to
make just to paint a picture he was also
caught multiple times passing off custom
games as ranked in order to farm
content once again I have never done
this before except for the multiplayer
practice tool 5v5 game game where I
explained at the end of the video that
it was a custom game absolute lie
absolute nonsense watching and following
him the true intentions behind his
dealings with the upcoming streamers
remain shrouded in mystery did he seek
to genuinely support them or was there
an ulterior motive lurking behind the
surface these questions are left
unanswered
yet uh for the love of
God which question is left unanswered he
took footage from and cited the literal
video where I had every receipt pulled
up and he is pretending like it doesn't
exist it's just Shameless for Professor
aalii had become an embodiment of Deceit
and dishonesty his character
once yes yes deceit and dishonesty and
dude it's a bit ironic honestly that cos
of his former fans to turn on him Prof
he literally showed footage that Riot
sent me for my aoli Reveal video as
how's that L stomping but my friends do
you know what the absolute best part
about lol athlete is the guy who
criticizes me for promoting Smurf
websites I have never promoted in my
life is actively promoting a boosting
website at this very moment this season
choose a different path with
connect with a hand verified Challenger
in under 30 seconds with rely on at
least one teammate who won't let you
down start stacking those wins and that
my friends is why it pays to be fake as
[ __ ] regardless of flashy thumbnails and
titles I am not a bad person and I
refuse to be labeled as one without
defending myself I've definitely tried
my hardest at my job to the best of my
ability spending hours on titles and
thumbnails every single week at some
point and I can definitely acknowledge
that I've had some obnoxious ones in the
past but I do think there is a pretty
big difference between someone who has
click baity titles and thumbnails for a
video game and someone who is actively
trying to ruin another person's
reputation using false information under
the pretext of being a journalist in my
opinion that is completely Shameless
also can I just say no mention of me
having a rank series every year no
mention of me hitting 650 LP or getting
hila every year Shameless I tell you so
my friends if you were wondering where
the quality content went where I've been
for the past few years everything that
happened in the past ultimately led to
me quitting league for several months
right after Korea and one last thing
before we get into the good part I'll
just say now that I will be replying to
every comment or question in the video
so please feel free to ask away okay and
now on to the good part so I had pretty
much stopped exercising dieting working
hard everything positive in my life had
just completely disappeared in the past
few years even over the last few months
uh my ISP was so [ __ ] uh [ __ ] you Cox
Communications that I was disconnecting
every single day as I tried to build up
a twitch stream well I just moved from
Arizona to Austin Texas and I now have
stable fiber internet and my ping went
from 65 to 25 which by the way is so op
I didn't know if it would matter that
much but yes guys ping is actually huge
uh especially on a champion like a colie
anyways in general life has been a lot
more peaceful over the last several
months minus the disconnects and I've
actually managed to build up quite an
amazing community on Twitch and if you
want to check it out there will be a
link in the description as for this
YouTube channel my absolute pride and
joy my baby I also have an update for
her I've come to an agreement with one
of my absolute best editors and they're
going to be editing for me once again
fulltime but this time with a large
percentage of the channel That means
that once again I'm going to start
posting consistent quality content the
first goal is to hit challenger but
after that I'm going to be going
straight back into IRL challenges
collabs everything from before and so so
so much more it really feels good to be
back and while I can't say that I look
forward to getting canceled for some
random nonsense in the next few months
from now I can at least say that I'm
finally in the right mental space to
deal with it years later so with that in
mind thank you guys so much for watching
this video I'm really sorry about all
the negative Vibes in the middle of it
but I really felt the need to share all
of this with you guys I hope you have an
amazing day and I hope to see you guys
around peace
