Another great post, Scrubb. Dunno if you're still looking for ideas but there's an interesting thread on r/competitiveapex right now about racism in Apex. OP claims Lava City Boys made racist remarks about Shiv, still unclear if true or not as they didn't post a clip. However, someone in the comments made an interesting remark about the team 'Roof Koreans' that have played in a number of tournaments recently. Their moniker being a clear nod to the Korean store owners who shot looters during the LA riots in the 90s. This being a US team and named such during many Black Lives Matters protests, it's pretty obviously a racist name toward black people. Especially sad that at least one of their members KimchiLee was in the US army. A shame this guy has been allowed to touch a gun. Back to Apex, the question is 'Why aren't GLL or ALGS vetting these team names?' and 'Do they have penalties for racist remarks said during a tournament?'
