The German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack explains his refusal to participate in the survival series 7 vs. Wild and makes it clear why he does not feel ready for it.
Who is it about? The Twitch streamer Marcel Eris, alias MontanaBlack, is a star and a kind of role model for many young people. He presents himself as particularly tough and cool – he swears and ruthlessly speaks his mind. He wears gold chains, caps, and has tattoos on his face.
Such an appearance has brought the now 35-year-old a lot of success and he has grown to become one of the 5 biggest streamers in Germany. On Twitch, he has over 4.9 million followers.
In his streams, MontanaBlack showed gambling for a long time, recently he opens crates in CS:GO. In March, he also shared a story in a YouTube video where he met a friend for a nighttime spray action. Spraying without permission is illegal in Germany.
MontanaBlack does not want to leave his “golden cage”
What does MontanaBlack say about 7 vs. Wild? MontanaBlack received an invitation to the survival series 7 vs. Wild, in which he was supposed to participate in a team with Twitch streamer Carsten “ELoTRiX”. But MontanaBlack declined and explained his decision in an Instagram story.
In typical MontanaBlack style, the streamer openly says: “The honest answer is, I simply don’t have the guts for it.” He further explains that he does not feel ready to leave his “golden cage” for 3 weeks.
MontanaBlack’s decision also affects his teammate and good friend ELoTRiX, who claims to have been 70-80% likely to attend. With Eris’s refusal, the entire team is out.
I would have liked to have experienced a similar situation or something like that with Carsten, no question, I love Carsten. He has been my brother for over 10 years, but in the end, it’s a team decision and not a decision to do him a favor.
In a further story, the streamer explains that he could only have agreed with ELoTRiX if he was 100% convinced and fully committed – that was not the case. He also did not want to disappoint his friend, so he decided to share his honest opinion and let him know that he is not ready (via YouTube).
Earlier, MontanaBlack had already declined an invitation from OttoBulletproof, the winner of the second season of 7 vs. Wild, for his own survival series “Arctic Warrior”.
What is 7 vs. Wild? 7 vs. Wild is a survival show by YouTuber Fritz Meinecke, where the contestants have to survive in the wilderness for several days. They are responsible for finding food and building a shelter, and can only rely on a predetermined number of items.
In the third season of 7 vs. Wild, there will be seven teams consisting of two people each, who will be abandoned in the wilderness for 14 days. This time, some participants from previous seasons will also join.
After the first season took place in Sweden and the second season on a tropical island, season three will take the participants to a new location.
