Marvel Rivals Player Booted from $40K Deadpool Creator Cup Amid Teammate Swap Dispute

In a heated drama at the Deadpool Creator Cup a $40,000 Marvel Rivals tournament player Kingsman265 was disqualified after clashing with teammate Zazzastack, a Black Widow one trick, over team composition.

What Went Down

The argument erupted when Kingsman265 urged Zazzastack to swap heroes for better synergy, citing his need for prize money to fund college. The dispute dragged on for over an hour across multiple maps, tanking team morale and performance. Zazzastack went 0-5 in one game under the pressure.

Team captain Cece intervened, telling Kingsman265 to drop it, they even won the next map with Zazzastack on Black Widow. But tensions boiled over when Zazzastack’s boyfriend Kaplunk escalated to tournament host BasimZB, who removed Kingsman265 for “disrespectful tone” and prolonged disruption despite repeated pleas to stop.

“Guys, listen. You may not want the money, but I do. I need money for college.”

“Wow. What a joke, bro. I just got to get removed.”

Cece (response video): “He didn’t get kicked just because he wanted a swap. It was the tone, continued for over an hour making the team uncomfortable.”

Apologies Follow

Cece later apologized on X for failing to deescalate as captain, while Kaplunk owned up to compiling a “one-sided” Google Doc of clips to push for the kick. Both urged no harassment toward Kingsman265.
