The player under the name Dizzy was a star in 2019 in Apex Legends and was considered a promising super talent. However, soon it became quiet around the top gamer. What has happened to Dizzy?
Who is Dizzy? Coby “Dizzy” Meadows became famous through the battle royale shooter Apex Legends. When the game first came out, the relatively unknown 18-year-old Dizzy quickly reached the maximum rank and set a solo kill record, where he practically took out half the lobby with 33 kills.
Later, he became part of the first Apex tournament through the support of pro player KingRichard, which he also won together with KingRichard and Ninja. It was even said that Dizzy was so strong that he “carried” Ninja.
In addition, Dizzy signed with the eSports team NRG, and his Twitch channel flourished. However, things were not to continue this way for long…
Dizzy retires – What is he doing now?
What happened next? After only 10 months in eSports, where Dizzy achieved several wins for NRG, he surprisingly announced via Twitter on December 11, 2019, that he would withdraw from eSports. He wanted to focus entirely on streaming. And that’s what he did, at least for some time.
What happened to Dizzy’s streaming career? At first, Dizzy continued to loyally play Apex Legends. When Valorant was released in April 2020, Dizzy switched to Riot’s new team shooter. However, he did not make a big name for himself there. He participated in the T1 Invitational tournament and took part in the Twitch Rivals Launch Showdown held in June 2020, which marked the launch of Valorant.
From then on, things got quieter around Dizzy. The last time he was seen live on stream was nearly 3 weeks later, when he played a selection of games live on June 28, 2020. That was his last appearance. The channel, which still has almost 800,000 followers, has been deserted since then.
Will he come back someday? The very last online activities of Dizzy were a condolence on July 2 for the death of WoW streamer Reckful and an Instagram post on July 5, 2020, where he showed a few clips from Valorant. Since then, nothing official has been heard from Dizzy online.
Therefore, it is also completely unclear when and if Dizzy will return. If you are among his fans and hope for a comeback, keep an eye on his social media channels. Perhaps he will reappear soon and at least explain why he withdrew for so long. Another streamer who suddenly disappeared is xQc. However, that was his own fault, as he was banned from Twitch.
