Twitch streamer Kingsman265 recently participated in the Marvel Rivals “Charged” Twitch Event held in June 2026, where Marvel Rivals partnered with Twitch streamers and gave each participating creator a unique team or leaderboard. The premise essentially allowed viewers to support their favorite streamer by repeatedly typing “!charge” in Twitch chat during the event.
Each valid “!charge” counted toward that streamer’s total score. Kingsman265 climbed through the leaderboard, but user @jitward on X claims his methods of achieving his rank were unethical. @jitward shared a community-created forensic report based on Twitch chat logs, detailing these allegations.
One of the prime claims against Kingsman is that most of his leaderboard points allegedly came from bots. The report claims that just over 99% of the 1.74 million “!charge” messages credited to the streamer were generated by automated accounts rather than real viewers.
Then came the drama surrounding VIP positions. Twitch normally prevents users from repeatedly sending the same message more than once every 30 seconds, that is, unless you are a VIP viewer. The report argues that Kingsman265 granted VIP or moderator status to dozens of accounts, which exempted them from that cooldown and allowed them to spam “!charge” continuously:
“Ten accounts produced 958,962 charges – more than half of everything crediting his leaderboard. 68 of his bot accounts hold VIP or Moderator, roles only the broadcaster grants.”
Considering this, the report alleges 63 accounts produced 99% of opening-night charges, and just 10 accounts generated over 958,000 charges, more than half of his total event score. Overall, these allegations, coupled with the claim that multiple “!charge” messages were being sent in Kingsman265’s chat within a millisecond, a humanly impossible feat, caused people to call out the streamer:
“Real consecutive !charge sends from xnotdora, with Twitch’s own server timestamps. Nine land in 12 milliseconds; three share the same millisecond. No human presses Enter three times in one millisecond. This is a script.”
He allegedly encouraged this behaviour as well, granting viewers VIP positions so they could “spam”:
“Those same 23 accounts went on to post 890,652 charges – 51% of his entire total – at rates no human can produce. 21 of the 23 fail the strict physical-impossibility test. The people who said they were botting are the people who botted. That is the line.”
“Also legit, what have I ever cheated in?”: Kingsman265 reacts to the criticism against him
On X, Kingsman claimed that he wasn’t selectively handing VIP badges to a few suspicious accounts. He claims that many viewers received VIP, so VIP status alone shouldn’t be treated as evidence of botting:
“I also gave everyone vip, I also have MORE vip slots because I have more subs but with 3k ppl saying charge we cannot get even close to someone with 10 new accounts created on the same day of the competition spamming !charge at a rate of 100k per hr each.”
Then, after user @geeseWatcher1 called the streamer “the worst person in the community,” Kingsman responded, claiming he’s never cheated in any format during his online career:
“Also legit what have I ever cheated in? Ranked? No. Tournaments? No. Streams? No. and I’ve never viewbotted either otherwise I’d get sued by my sponsors.”
Kingsman265 rose to fame in January 2026, following the drama surrounding his team in the $40,000 Marvel Rivals “Deadpool Creator Cup.”
