Sjokz Shares that “Abuse is Getting a Little Out of Hand” as Co-Streamer Debate Turns Toxic
Eefje ‘Sjokz’ Depoortere, a prominent League of Legends broadcast personality, has called for an end to the escalating harassment she’s receiving amid the community’s heated co-streaming debate. The Belgian broadcast veteran took to social media to address the increasingly toxic discourse surrounding co-streaming and its effects on the esports ecosystem.
Sjokz clarified that her statements on the topic have been misrepresented, leading to personal abuse that has “gotten a little out of hand.” She reiterated her appreciation for co-streamer Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont while emphasizing her 15-year commitment to improving broadcasts and prioritizing viewer experience. “I am not your enemy,” she stated, appealing for civility in the discussion.
The co-streaming debate has generated significant tension within the League of Legends community in recent days, with discussions about its impact on the competitive ecosystem becoming increasingly hostile. Sjokz’s intervention represents an attempt to de-escalate the situation and refocus the conversation on substantive issues rather than personal attacks.
