‘He’s gone too far’: ZeratoR streamer harassed by ZLAN organization

The streamer, known for hosting online events, has been subjected to cyber bullying for the past few days due to “controversial” guests at his online esports competition.

The ZLAN, a national esports event, is about to have its fifth edition in May. Started and hosted by streamer ZeratoR, this competition brings together dozens of gamers from local networks, competing in a wide variety of games and streaming everything on the Twitch streaming platform.

This year, despite the previous success of the event, the ZLAN, and more specifically its participants, caused controversy. A situation that led ZeratoR – whose real name is Adrien Nougaret – to speak in a long tweet on April 14.

Beyond the cyberbullying that he claims to suffer personally, the streamer specifies that his relatives are also affected. The reason? Several guests, including, in particular, the streamer Sardoche, a subscriber to the controversy and excluded in November 2022 from a world online chess competition.

“There is no legal way” to exclude

In fact, despite the discontent on the part of the broadcast community, the organizer recalls that he “[n’a] no legal way to exclude a participant from [ma] competition”, he remarks that he indicates based on the consultation of jurists.

If Sardoche is considered particularly controversial by the community, the charges against him have never been brought to justice. Precisely for this reason, Adrien Nougaret, who opens his event to everyone, does not intervene in the evolution of the list of participants, regardless of his personal opinion.

“Some answer me: osef [“on s’en fout” NDLR] of the law, you can exclude them anyway if you have morals, and no one will sue you for having excluded them from a NWFZ […]. Well, yes, it is precisely the risk. But beyond that, you understand that it is not applicable and that based on this reasoning we can reach very serious deviations that can take us much further ”, laments the streamer.

It also invokes that “the only reason that can [me] to push to exclude a participant from an open competition is that they behave extremely badly DURING the course of the competition (which obviously has rules).

“A total injustice”

The streamer says he is “deeply moved” and has “the feeling of complete injustice towards [nous] that they’re just trying to put together a cool event, that brings people together around the same passion, with the intention of making you laugh.”

A situation all the more complex as the events organized by ZeratoR have been the subject of dazzling success in recent years: in 2022, the ZEvent, a streaming weekend dedicated to raising funds for charity, had raised no less than 10 million euros for associations linked to the environment.

The ZLAN, for its part, brings together dozens of players each year, and has hundreds of thousands of views on Twitch.
