The Twitch streamer Nico “Sneako” De Balinthazy (24) has been mocking the streamer and YouTuber Charlie “Critikal” White (28) for months. Now he received a response and probably wishes he hadn’t said anything.
How did it all come to this? The dispute between the two streamers Charlie “Critikal” White and Nico “Sneako” De Balinthazy began as early as November 2022. As Critikal explains, Sneako spoke insultingly about him and his girlfriend.
He subsequently released a video explaining why he does not respect the streamer. Among other things, Sneako defended the controversial film “Cuties,” which faced heavy criticism for the sexualized portrayal of the young actresses.
With his criticism, he seems to have hit a nerve with the 24-year-old. The day after the video was released, Sneako appeared dancing and with a cigar in his mouth on the stream, waving a weapon. On the right side, the faces of the people Sneako felt insulted by were displayed.
After the stream, there were no major incidents for a while, but Critikal points out that the younger streamer repeatedly sent tweets with jabs in his direction. However, he largely ignored this.
Sneako provoked for months
How did the escalation happen? On March 12, 2023, Sneako posted the collage of his critics on Twitter and wrote that they wanted to “cancel” him. In response, Critikal tweeted a series of tweets where he expertly dismantled his opponent:
You literally made a collage of people who hurt your feelings on the internet. You haven’t stopped whining about me for months. Even if you were to beat me in a fight, that doesn’t change the truth.
via Twitter
The tweets received between 9.6 million and 26.9 million views, but it was still not enough for Critikal. Additionally, on March 15, he released a YouTube video where he talked down to Sneako for 15 minutes.
The video spread rapidly and made the hashtag #Sneako trend on Twitter. Numerous users shared quotes and clips of their favorite moments. Many viewers particularly enjoyed a moment where Critikal pulls out an assault rifle and schools Sneako on correct terminology.
Critikal puts streamer in his place
What is this excerpt about? In the excerpt, Critikal refers to the stream from Sneako, where he had threatened him with a weapon. In his stream, the 24-year-old mentioned that Critikal could watch his “clips” – a reference to the ammunition of his firearm and the term “clips” for excerpts from streams.
The 28-year-old YouTuber, however, is also apparently a gun enthusiast. In the video, he not only pulls out a handgun but also an assault rifle, and additionally teaches Sneako: They are loaded with a magazine, not with clips.

Additionally, Critikal gives his opponent a clear message on the way: “I’m not canceling you, I’m insulting you. I’m making fun of you.”
It remains to be seen whether Sneako will challenge Critikal again after this reprimand. No reaction from YouTube or Twitch has yet been made.
Critikal is known for his blunt style and rarely holds back. A music video he released ultimately proved to be too much for a major partner:
