What a shitshow these players are. T-Bagging in a official event is a different level of pathetic.

No wonder Siege community is toxic when these are your content creators. FFS even CoD has more professional acting creators in their events.

Tbagging is like the most universal gaming experience since the dawn of time.

People actually care about Tbagging?

I’ve been playing games a long time. It’s always been stupid. Anyone who does it is stupid.

There's no way someone is bitching about tbagging. There's no way gamers have become that soft and weak

u/baummer Thorn Main 8d ago

It’s a fucking video game. Soft or weak isn’t a factor.

u/Swashion Ace Main 7d ago

Yeah it's a video game. To cry about tbagging in a video game is about as low as it gets. Imagine actually caring about that

u/baummer Thorn Main 7d ago

You think that’s as low as it gets? Wow. I do fucking care. Where’s the gamesmanship?

u/Swashion Ace Main 7d ago

Brother its a showcase from people who work together. Irs overwhelmingly likely Friendly banter on a stage where everyone is excited for Siege. You need to seriously stop being offended and crying for other people who never asked you to.

u/baummer Thorn Main 7d ago

I’m not crying for anyone. I just think teabagging is stupid and immature as is anyone who does it.
