In a recent Kick livestream, Adin David Ross claimed that he was once denied entry into the AMP content group because of his skin color. For a little context, Adin Ross is currently one of the most popular live streamers in the industry. Although Adin is the founder of the SSB content group, he has close ties with AMP because of his inseparable friendship with Kai Carlo Cenat III.

According to sources, AMP is an American content group originally founded in 2019 by four friends Din “Agent 00” Muktar, Duke Dennis, Roberto “Fanum” Gonzalez, and Davis “ImDavisss”. The last two members, Kai Cenat and Chris “ChrisNxtDoor,” joined in the months that followed. Each member is known to have their individual YouTube and live streaming channels even while working as a collective for AMP.  Moreover, they live under the same roof and co-create content for all social media and content platforms.

During one of Adin Ross’s recent Kick streams, Silky asked him if he would agree to leave SSB behind and join AMP. Although the Kick streamer denied the opportunity, he claimed he had tried doing so in the past. However, things did not end well solely because of Adin’s skin color. Adin even addressed the interesting incident in his stream, stating “I want to be in AMP though, they just said no, you are white. I swear to god.” According to the Kick streamer, he had also spoken to Duke Dennis about joining AMP but was instantly rejected because of being white.

Silky could not believe what he was hearing but Adin soon convinced him that it was true. Moreover, instead of birthing a controversy, both Adin and Silky praised Duke for being truthful. Adin also insisted that he has remained fast friends with Duke despite the rejection.

Who are all the AMP members?

AMP, the American content creators’ group comprises six members. The group was initially started by four members namely, Agent 00, Duke Dennis, Fanum, and ImDavisss. Kai Cenat and ChrisNxtDoor reportedly joined in 2020 or even later. All members of the AMP content group are known to live together and collaborate on content.

However, Kai Cenat is currently the most popular of all the AMP members. He is known to have more than 9 million followers on Twitch and a combined total of almost 11 million subscribers on his two YouTube channels Kai Cenat and Kai Cenat Live. He is a two-time winner of the Streamer of the Year Award at The Streamy Awards and the Streamer of the Year at The Streamer Awards 2024. Although not as popular as Kai, all the other members are also fairly known in the gaming world.

Adin Ross’s fans were not quite fond of Duke Dennis’s answer. They claimed the AMP group was racist and insisted it was not funny to give such answers. However, there were a few people who supported AMP, and one even joked about the situation, saying, “But Adin isn’t white, he’s Jewish.”

After 21 Savage, Kai Cenat Scams Adin Ross for $500,000 https://thesportsrush.com/streamer-news-after-21-savage-kai-cenat-scams-adin-ross-500000/ Wed, 21 Feb 2024 06:57:44 +0000 https://thesportsrush.com/?p=654815 Kai Carlo Cenat III shocked his fans recently as he pulled the same marked card scamming trick as 21 Savage on Adin David Ross and won $500,000.

Kai Carlo Cenat III shocked his fans recently as he pulled the same marked card scamming trick as 21 Savage on Adin David Ross and won $500,000. Adin Ross is a popular and wealthy Kick streamer known for his collaborations with top-tier personalities. However, a certain percentage of his attempts tend to turn wasteful because of his clumsiness.

Something similar happened a couple of weeks back during his collaboration stream with the popular rapper 21 Savage. Although a vast majority of the stream went well, things went southwards during a gambling session with the rapper. They had agreed to a $400,000 bet but unfortunately, the rapper claimed the victory. Moments later, there was a massive turn of events when a guy from Adin’s team revealed how some of the cards used in the game were marked. Upon realizing of getting scammed, Adin Ross refused 21 Savage’s victory and asked 21 Savage to return the money.

It came as a surprise recently when Kai Cenat pulled the same scamming trick on Adin Ross. The award-winning Twitch streamer had received packaged decks of marked cards via parcel service. After reading the instructions and understanding how the trick works, he went ahead and called various people to playfully scam them on-stream. The Face of Kick fell into the trap and lost $500,000 upon Kai’s victory.

However, it is important to note that Kai Cenat did not scam Adin Ross or ask him to pay the money. It was just fun in games as he went ahead and revealed the secret of his winning. Knowing the friendship they share, there is no way Kai would scam Adin.

Adin Ross never learns from his mistakes

Kai Cenat had received a package of a pre-marked deck of cards. Inside the packaging, the company had given a sample card with instructions on how to identify the cards. According to the instructions, the cards had the number camouflaged on the corners of the front side of the card. Therefore, while playing, the person can easily identify the card thereby making it easy to cheat and scam in gambling games.

While Kai Cenat was choosing his card from the table spread, he could be clearly seen taking his time and looking for the camouflaged numbers. This was the same while Adin was facing 21 Savage. The rapper was also seen looking for a suitable card from the spread on the table. Although Savage did not use the same pre-marked cards as his cards had scratches on them, the trick remains pretty similar.

Looking at Adin Ross’s current streak of gambling fails, the streaming sensation is simply an artist when it comes to being scammed. The online community was confused as to how Adin Ross could be so gullible. They realized and were surprised that this was the second time the streaming sensation was successfully scammed in card gambling just within a month. Fans asked how this was even possible and claimed Adin was too nice for his own good.

EA FC 24 Axel Disasi Pundits Pick SBC: How to Acquire This Card in Ultimate Team? https://thesportsrush.com/gaming-news-ea-fc-24-axel-disasi-pundits-pick-sbc-how-to-acquire-card-ultimate-team/ Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:33:42 +0000 https://thesportsrush.com/?p=654625 A new Squad Building Challenge (SBC) has joined EA FC 24, awarding fans the Axel Disasi Pundits Pick.

A new Squad Building Challenge (SBC) has joined EA FC 24, awarding fans the Axel Disasi Pundits Pick. They can now have a strong Center Back on their Ultimate Team squad without the need to open any packs to get it. However, they would need to know about the card and the related SBC, which they can find here.

Pundit Pick is a monthly promo introduced by EA Sports for FC 24, where the Sky Sports and DAZN pundits select a player from the Premier League and La Liga. The selected player later receives an upgraded card for the Ultimate Team mode via SBC. The soccer experts have selected the Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.

What are the stats of the Axel Disasi Pundits Pick card?

The Chelsea defender has a 76-rated Common Gold as his base card. It is not much of a help in Ultimate Team matches. However, fans use it mostly for completing SBCs. Disasi has got himself his first special card, an 88-rated Pundit Pick. This new card is a drastic improvement over the base edition.

Fans who want to create a competitive squad would love having the Frenchman’s new card on it. Aside from the overall 88 rating, the card is a rock-solid defender with 88-defending and 91 physicality. Having 82-pace helps Disasi to track back during counterattack scenarios. This new special card would be helpful for those assembling a Premier League or France-based team.

How to acquire this card in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team?

Pundit Pick cards can only be obtained via completing SBC. As for Axel Disasi’s new card, fans would have to put together two teams of eleven players to complete the challenge. However, there are certain requirements which must be met.

Premier League

Premier League [Price - 39.9K]

  • At least one Premier League player should be in the lineup.
  • At least one Team of the Week (TOTW) player should be in the lineup.
  • The lineup’s overall rating should be over 84.

France

France [Price - 61.75K]

  • At least one French player should be in the lineup.
  • At least one Team of the Week (TOTW) player should be in the lineup.
  • The lineup’s overall rating should be over 85.

EA FC 24 fans would need at least 102,000 Ultimate Team coins to complete the Axel Disasi Pundits Pick SBC. They can also use fodder and untradable cards to complete the challenge with fewer coins. If they have a shortage of these required resources, they can participate in Ultimate Team matches to earn coins and card packs.

Axel Disasi Pundits Pick doesn’t have any alternative positions and could also have better Playstyles, but we still recommend fans complete the SBC. They would be getting a good center-back for a reasonable price. Even if not as a starter, this special card would be a great substitute.

The Twitch platform is an interactive streaming service for people to live broadcast gaming, entertainment, daily life, etc. In return, live streamers get paid based on their monthly viewership, ad revenue, affiliate links, donations, and sponsorships. Other than the above-mentioned sources, subscriptions are a great revenue generator for the streamers.

Twitch subscriptions allow the viewers to pay a minimum amount of money to subscribe to their favorite live streamer. A share of that expenditure goes directly to support their content and channel since a percentage of the total subscription money is paid to the creator. Viewers can after that enjoy custom-made and animated emotes, badges, an ad-free viewing experience, and more.

However, now Twitch has been making significant changes to make the business profitable. Dan Clancy announced in January 2024 that Twitch was not making any profits. He also added, “Big thing for being sustainable over time is ensuring we don’t lose money.” Since then, they have taken drastic measures like reducing Prime subscription earnings, and more. Now, the streaming platform has increased its subscription prices.

Twitch said, “We are updating prices in several countries to help streamer revenue keep pace with rising costs and reflect local currency fluctuations.” They announced an increase in Tier 1 subscription and gift sub prices in Australia, Canada, and the UK. Whereas Turkey will face an increase in all 3 tiers of subscription and gift sub prices. In Australia, prices will increase from $7.99 to $8.99, $6.99 to $7.99 in Canada, and £3.99 to £4.99 in the UK. In Turkey, Tier 1 prices were raised from TRY 9.90 to TRY 43.90, TRY 19.99 to TRY 87.90 for Tier 2, and TRY 49.99 to TRY 215.90 for Tier 3. It is important to note that these prices are only applicable to web subscriptions only.

Will Twitch increase subscription prices in the United States?

Based on Twitch’s current trend, there is a huge possibility of an increase in subscription prices in the United States. Furthermore, rumors from various sources have also made claims of a possible increase in subscription prices. However, it is to be duly noted that there are going to be both pros and cons to the price changes.

Since live streamers use subscriptions as a medium to earn money and thereby develop their content and channel, they are going to be highly profitable. Twitch has not made any changes to streamers’ revenue cut so an increase in subscription prices will directly result in more revenue earned from each sub by the live streamer. Unfortunately, on the other hand, viewers will hesitate to buy subscriptions which in turn will be a loss to the creators.

The online community was in accepting how most people will not choose to subscribe hereafter. They also pointed out how this will force more streamers to switch from Twitch to Kick.com. A commenter stated Kick was looking really good at the moment. While another person stated he would rather Cash App his favorite streamer instead of going through Twitch. A Twitter user claimed this step would only hurt streamers and not help them in any way.

“I Want Him to Mean Something” – Star Wars Jedi Actor Cameron Monaghan Wants His Character to Have a Significant Role in a Possible Live-Action Adaptation https://thesportsrush.com/gaming-news-i-want-him-mean-something-star-wars-jedi-actor-cameron-monaghan-wants-his-character-significant-role-possible-live-action-adaptation/ Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:30:06 +0000 https://thesportsrush.com/?p=654476 Whether it’s a movie, TV Series, or video game, Star Wars is undoubtedly one of the most renowned franchises in the world.

Whether it’s a movie, TV Series, or video game, Star Wars is undoubtedly one of the most renowned franchises in the world. Fans can never get tired of new Star Wars content, and many are hoping for a live-action adaptation of the Jedi game series. Recently, Cameron Monaghan has shared his thoughts about a potential live-action adaptation.

The American actor is well known for portraying the young Jedi Knight Cal Kestis. His character was one of the highlights of the game and fans praised the actor for his performance. So, it isn’t surprising that they hope he reprises his role again, especially in a possible live-action adaptation.

The Direct recently questioned the actor if he’s interested in playing his in-game character in a live-action adaptation. The actor responded positively, but he didn’t want his character to be an easter egg to please the audience.

“I don’t want him to just kind of show up to stand around and be there. I want him to mean something and for there to be a significance for the character itself.”

It wasn’t surprising for Monaghan to ask his character to have a significant role in the adaptation. There have been many cases where popular characters from a game do make it to the adaptation but they are only there for a few seconds. A great example would be Arno Dorian’s appearance in the 2016 Assassin’s Creed movie, where he appeared for a single scene and was never spotted again.

Would Star Wars Jedi Get a Live-Action Adaptation?

Fans are eager to get a live-action adaptation of Star Wars Jedi games, especially after the success of HBO’s The Last of Us. The Mandalorian creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni even talked to Entertainment Weekly about the possibility of various cross-multimedia adaptations in the Star Wars universe.

“I think one of the things I’m most proud of about what we’re able to accomplish with this show is to pull in different sets of characters and storylines, and each generation and each group connects with a different aspect of Star Wars.”

Even if the Jedi games don’t get a proper live-action adaptation, seeing the in-game characters making their way to various Star Wars movies and TV series won’t be surprising. As a matter of fact, the BD units that were introduced in the Jedi games also appeared in The Book of Boba Fett.

So, there are chances to see the Jedi game characters appear in future Star Wars movies and shows. Hence, it would be interesting to see Cal Kestis interact with characters like Din Djarin and Cassian Andor.

Adin David Ross recently asked the founder of Kick.com, Edward Craven, the most unexpected question. The streaming sensation wanted to know what value just $1000 held for the billionaire. For a little context, Adin Ross is one of the greatest and wealthiest live streamers in the industry. He has also considered the Face of Kick since he joined the platform. Therefore, the streamer and Kick.com’s owners, Eddie and Bijan Tehrani are known to be close friends.

Eddie and Adin are known to speak to each other frequently and this time was nothing different. While conversing normally, Adin went ahead and asked Ed Craven what $1000 meant for him. He even asked him to be completely honest and not give socially acceptable answers. Interestingly, Eddie’s quick answer turned out to be quite well-thought. The Kick founder stated, “$1000 is a $1000, you look at every dollar as important man. If you start getting wasteful, things are downhill from there.”

Eddie even used his words to indirectly troll Adin Ross about his past. He claimed Adin Ross would have seen rich people blowing off money like $1000 did not matter much to them. Thereafter, he added that people need to respect any amount of money whether it be only $1000.

Eventually, Adin picked up on what Ed wanted to say but surprisingly acknowledged and stated, “I am not gonna lie, that sounds like me. Yeah, I gotta be better with money” while Ed responded, “Yeah, it was you up until like six or twelve months ago. As a matter of fact, this conversation made fans raise questions about the earnings and net worth of Adin Ross.

How did Adin Ross earn his money?

Adin Ross is known to generate the majority of his money from live streaming. He chose his career to be streaming at a very young age and started out on Twitch. Although he put in a lot of hard work which helped him acquire hundreds and thousands of views, he was eventually permabanned from Twitch. However, this did not deter him from his goal of being a topmost streamer in the industry.

Adin joining hands with Kick.com turned out to be an incredible decision for his career. Although it has never been officially disclosed, his contract is believed to be worth at least $100 million to $200 million. Furthermore, he was able to win the trust of the owners who gave him some special powers. Currently, Adin is allowed to invite other streamers to join the company, help them secure contracts, and even promote them on his own channel. Furthermore, he is legally entitled to charge 20% of their revenue as his fees.

Some of Adin’s other sources of income include ad revenues from his YouTube channels, brand promotions, sponsored ads, and streaming donations. Hence, considering his avenues of income, we believe the streaming sensation earns around $10 million a year. This puts Adin Ross’ net worth at around $50 million although the number is sure to rise in the future.

Jimmy Donaldson, better known by his internet moniker MrBeast, is the most significant content creator on YouTube. He also has the number to back these claims as he currently has over 240 million subscribers. However, it took the North Carolina-based creator over a decade to reach these heights and his YouTube channel recently celebrated its 12th anniversary.

MrBeast Statistics is a fan account on X that keeps track of the activity on Donaldson’s YouTube channel. They recently tweeted about the YouTube channel turning 12 years old and even shared its growth across all these years. The stats grabbed the attention of fans, who were in awe to see the growth of their beloved content creator.

Aside from the fans, MrBeast himself also noticed the tweet about his channel’s statistics. He was unaware of the fact that his channel turned 12 on February 19. Hence, he was a little disappointed that he couldn’t figure it out a few seconds earlier, as he could no longer tweet about it himself. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old was glad to see the tweet and is looking forward to growing even further.

How did MrBeast grow on YouTube over the years?

Jimmy Donaldson started as a gaming-themed creator under the alias of MrBeast6000. It wasn’t until he transitioned to challenges and hosting competitions, that his channel saw a major boost. Moreover, he removed “6000” from his channel’s name. In 12 years since its creation, MrBeast has over 240 million subscribers and 43 billion views.

According to the stats, MrBeast’s channel doubled in size in 2023, as he gained 55 percent of the 240 million subscribers and 51 percent of 43 billion views. It might not be surprising as multiple videos on his channel crossed the 100 million views mark. Videos like Ages 1 – 100 Fight For $500,000 and$1 vs $500,000 Plane Ticket! helped him reach a wide audience.

MrBeast Statistics also shared a graph showing the channel’s subscriber growth over each year. Based on the statistics, it was evident that his channel saw the most increase over the previous four years, particularly in 2023. If his channel keeps growing at this rate, it is expected that MrBeast will have over 328 million subscribers by his channel’s 13th anniversary.

The PlayStation 5 has been an undeniable success allowing players to experience the best that gaming has to offer. From blockbusters like God of War Ragnarok to future boundary pushers like Stellar Blade, owners of the PlayStation 5 are going to have a field day playing all of these games that will be published this year and in the future. The power of the PS5 is going to allow the owners to play all modern games for at least 3 or more years to come.

However, recent rumors about the PS5 Pro and Sony’s take on the PS5’s life cycle caught a lot of fans off guard. CNBC interviewed Serkan Toto of Kantan Games and found out that Sony is planning to release a ‘PS5 Pro’ in the second half of 2024. Toto also mentioned that another reason why they are planning a PS5 Pro release is because of GTA VI and how the game requires a great “piece of hardware” that can give stability to its graphical fidelity.

With this announcement, a lot of people are expecting a cut in the base PS5’s price. Even though it is entirely possible, we cannot guarantee a price drop since the hardware sales for Sony aren’t doing too well. The profit margins are lower than it has been in quite a few decades. In fact, Analysts believe that the hardware sales for the company would still be on a decline despite the PS5 Pro’s launch since ultimately, people are looking for a good console at a cheap price, like the PS3.

What Do We Know About The PlayStation 5 Pro So Far?

The PSVR 2 (Image via Sony)

An insider suggests that the PS5 Pro could release in November 2024 with multiple upgrades over the base PS5. Aside from the usual SSD upgrade, the console might get an AI boost thanks to an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) developed by AMD. There have also been leaks indicating that the upgrades also include RAM and GPU boosts that will make 8K gaming a reality. This would go hand in hand with Sony’s 8k TVs.

As far as price is concerned, Sony is not afraid to increase the money and charge more for good hardware. Judging by previous releases for consoles like the PS4 Pro which was $499 on release, it would be safe to say we are looking at a release price of $599 to $650, maybe even more. The reason for this could be the price of the PSVR2 as well which costs $549. Preparations for the release are now in full force since the dev kits have already been distributed to third-party studios. Hence, 2024 is sure to be an eventful year in gaming one way or the other.

Popular streamer Kai Carlo Cenat III participated in the NBA All-Stars Celebrity game that took place on February 16, 2024, at the Lucas Oil Stadium. However, he did not perform as well as he had promised his fans and his coach, Shannon Sharpe. The streaming sensation was overly confident about performance predictions where he claimed he would win the MVP title while scoring around 45 points.

Surprisingly, some sources say that Kai had also convinced Shannon Sharpe to trust him to win the title. However, quite unfortunately, Kai Cenat was able to score only eight points and Micah Parsons took home the MVP title after scoring around 40 points. Although Team Shannon won the basketball event 100-91, Kai’s poor performance led to a lot of criticism with one standing out the most.

Former NFL player and one of the greatest tight ends, Shannon Sharpe dissed Kai Cenat’s height while analyzing the NBA Dunk Contest on ESPN. Criticizing Kai’s poor performance, Shannon said, “Jaylen Brown jumped over Kai Cenat in a seat… The man is already three feet tall, you put him in a chair, and now he is 1’5. And Jaylen Brown jumped over him and he got 40+ for it. Really Stephen A?” This statement naturally made fans wonder what Kai Cenat’s real height is.

The question about Kai’s real height peeked almost a year back. Just to make sure people knew about his true height, the streamer picked up a measuring tape on-stream and went on to measure himself. After a while, he stated, “That’s 6’3, what are you talking about, come on bro, 6 feet, You all think I am that short, do I look short? I am not short.” However, his fans pointed out that he was referring to the inches on the tape. According to his fans, he was 63 inches tall or 160 centimeters, so that makes his height 5’3.

Kai Cenat couldn’t believe he was trolled on National TV

Although Kai Cenat initially treated Shannon’s statement as a joke, he soon realized that the entire criticism was on national television.  Hence, quite agitated, Kai quickly expressed his disapproval of Shannon’s views, claiming, “Oh, f**k you, Shannon… I didn’t know he said this sh*t.” He was in disbelief at how his celebrity game coach could have said that on national television, and even questioned his chat, saying, “Is this National TV, no, no… Why did he just go straight like that? This is national TV?”

According to Kai, Shannon’s criticism ruined the good relationship that enjoyed. He went hard on the former footballer and questioned how and why he would say such a thing on national television. The streamer claimed the former NFL player should have used much lighter words to express his thoughts. Further expressing his anger and confusion Kai asked, “Three-foot to 1.5? Who the f**k is 1.5 feet tall… What?”

Amidst the hype of the ongoing Future Stars promo, EA FC 24 has brought back Showdown to Ultimate Team with a new Alexis Mac Allister card. The Liverpool midfielder’s new Ultimate Team card does seem to have an insane value, although it remains to see how it will perform in the game.

The Showdown is a special Ultimate Team promo that celebrates an upcoming clash between teams by selecting a player from both sides. The selected players are then presented with special upgraded cards. The match winner gets another +2 upgrade, while both players get a +1 upgrade if it’s a draw. Liverpool’s Number 10 Mac Allister is the latest to join the Showdowns for the Red’s upcoming faceoff against Chelsea.

What are the stats of the Alexis Mac Allister Showdown card?

The Argentine midfielder has an 82-rated Rare Gold as his default Ultimate Team card, which is mostly used as fodder for completing SBCs. However, Mac Allister now has the 87-rated Showdown, his best in-game card that could get a spot in a Starting XI. Otherwise, it could also be a great off-the-bench option.

There are many exciting cards from the top tier of English soccer, and now fans have access to one more with the release of Mac Allister Showdown. This newly released card would help those building a competitive Ultimate Team, especially if fans want a chemistry link with Argentine and Premier League players. Moreover, Mac Allister could play multiple midfield positions like Center Midfielder (CM), Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM), and Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM).

The Showdown series is SBC exclusive, and so is the case with the latest addition of Alexis Mac Allister. Fans would have to put together three lineups of eleven players while meeting some requirements to complete the relevant Ultimate Team challenge.

Liverpool

  • The starting lineup should include at least one Team of the Week (TOTW) player.
  • The lineup’s overall rating should be higher than 84.

  • The starting lineup should include at least one Premier League player.
  • The lineup’s overall rating should be higher than 87.

To assemble the three squads required for the Alexis Mac Allister Showdown SBC, fans will have to spend around 220,000 Ultimate Team coins at the Transfer Market. Alternatively, fodder or untradable cards could be used to complete the challenge. At the same time, if fans are low on coins and cards, they can participate in Ultimate Team matches to replenish their resources.

The 87-rated Mac Allister Showdown is a great midfielder available at a reasonable price, so we encourage fans to get this card. Since it is only available via completing the SBC, fans should complete the challenge before it expires.
