Former NRG Valorant player Sam ‘s0m’ lashed out after he was swatted during the early morning stream. Sam was in the middle of a stream when the swatting attack took place around 6:30 in the morning, while his family was asleep. The former Valorant player had been streaming at his home when the police arrived, and the moment was captured in the video. After the attack, the Valorant player slammed the person responsible for the same.
For the unversed, swatting is a kind of dangerous and illegal prank, which is generally targeted at streamers. In swatting, the perpetrator calls the police and falsely reports a serious incident, hoping to prompt an armed response to the property. Over time, swatting has resulted in serious injury and even death, as the police believe they are entering a serious situation, which is generally made up.
s0m slams swatting prank
On January 4, Thursday, s0m revealed that he had been a victim of swatting, which took place where he was staying with his family. He took to social media to lash out and slam the person responsible for the mischief. The former player tweeted, “Swatted at 6:30 AM while my whole family is sleeping. Actually ridiculous.” He added, “To whoever did this you are genuinely a horrible person, swatting is not a joke and puts people’s lives at risk.”
Swatting is done when the person is streaming live so that the moment can be captured on stream. s0m was streaming hours before the police arrived at his place, and the clip of a police officer with a shotgun has gone viral on social media since the incident. Despite the incident, the former NRG Valorant player said that he would be back to streaming without being affected by the swatter.
