Twitch streamer and Warzone gamer Bobby “OpTic BobbyPoff” has come under fire of late after belittling his opponents during a Warzone match where his opponents were on the hunt for their in-game Champion’s Contract, a.k.a. the Nuke contract.
For those unaware, the Nuke contract allows players to detonate a Nuke that obliterates the entire lobby in one go. To procure a Nuke contract, a squad or player has to win five consecutive Warzone matches.
In the viral clip, OpTic BobbyPoff and his teammates were on a winning run. However, they ran into a squad of creators, which included fellow Warzone player Ethan “Stellar.” Bobby was seen giving a vitriolic speech against them, resulting in subsequent criticism.
