Korean streamer Soopi, who represented Team Korea in Krafton's official 'PUBG Asia Stars 2026' tournament, has requested that the publisher revoke her official PUBG Partner Streamer status following intense online harassment and unaddressed cheating accusations.
The controversy erupted during the tournament's first day of matches when Vietnamese competitor Himass received external assistance via live chat.
After admitting to receiving viewer chat updates during gameplay, Himass was removed from remaining tournament matches.
However, false allegations accusing Soopi of using stream hacks and secondary monitors rapidly circulated across Vietnamese social media, exacerbated by links pinned in Himass's official stream chat during the broadcast.
Soopi firmly denied all cheating allegations, clarifying that her gaming setup utilizes a single monitor, making stream sniping impossible.
Expressing profound disappointment at Krafton's failure to defend or protect her during the fallout, Soopi publicly called on the publisher to retract her partner title, stating she felt abandoned by tournament organizers.
Himass has since issued a public statement asking followers to cease targeting Soopi and other players.
"Why even grant PUBG Partner Streamer status if you can't protect us when we suffer stream sniping and cyberbullying?" — Soopi
