The Call of Duty–professional gamer Anthony “Shotzzy” Cuevas-Castro requested a controller from the owner of Battle Beaver in a private message. The issue: Shotzzy’s team OpTic Texas has been sponsored by the competitor SCUF for 10 years.
In a private message, the professional gamer Shotzzy from OpTic Texas contacted Chris Bailey, the owner of Battle Beaver. He asked for a backup controller for the CoD Championship.
Chris Bailey posted the message on Twitter and started a poll to see if he should help the player, even though the OpTic team is sponsored by the competitor SCUF.
Meanwhile, Chris Bailey deleted the message but is still criticized on Twitter for publishing the private chat.

Owner of Controller Company Publishes Message from Pro
What is the leaked message about? The original posts have already been deleted, so the sequence can only be traced based on screenshots from a Twitter user (via Twitter)
The owner of Battle Beaver, Chris Bailey, published a screenshot. It showed a private message from the e-sports player Shotzzy.
In the message, Shotzzy asks if he could somehow get a backup controller before the Champs took place. Chris Bailey replied with a surprised Minion GIF.
Alongside, Chris Bailey also published a poll where users could vote on whether he should help Shotzzy with the controller.
There was another post where Chris declared himself a big Shotzzy fan and said he had already helped him a lot. However, Chris found the changed “management styles” of the team difficult. He also published a post from Shotzzy’s Twitter account celebrating the collaboration of the e-sports player with SCUF Gaming.
Pro’s Team has been Affiliated with Competitor SCUF for 10 Years
Why is this leak interesting at all? Over the last decade, the OpTic Texas team has been sponsored by SCUF. Just recently, on April 28, 2022, it was the anniversary of the collaboration between OpTic Texas and SCUF, which was celebrated on Shotzzy’s Twitter channel in the form of a video (via Twitter).
Therefore, the player is actually obliged to use controllers from SCUF and should think highly of them.
That he now turns to a prohibited controller from the competitor is indeed a serious incident.
Community Finds Boss’s Behavior Somehow “Cringe”
What does the community say on Twitter? In the meantime, Chris Bailey deleted the screenshot of the private message again. However, other users, like @HUN2R, reposted the images on Twitter on July 23 and 24, 2022 (via Twitter).
Under the tweet, most users criticize Chris Bailey for posting the professional player’s private message:
- @buffalo-bangs: “When you see this, it makes sense why he put Shottzy on blast like that, but it makes BB look terrible”.
- @bobbabits: “Just give him a [controller] if you want. No need to make a damn tweet just to brag lol, cringe”.
- @ItsSimplist: “Can you imagine thinking just because it’s a direct message you can share it publicly”.
Few express negative opinions about Shotzzy, like @hrdcpy: “A pro gamer who can’t buy his own controller? #HandsStretched”
Some discuss which controller is better, like user @nyjessi. She mentions preferring Battle Beaver controllers and that their service is better.
