World of Warcraft player Daniel "Jokerd" Gobey has had, as he put it, a "crazy few days." After a whirlwind rise to popularity following his accomplishment as the primary player to achieve the extent cap of 60 in Blizzard's World of Warcraft Classic, he won consideration and notoriety from professional esports organizations like Method. 

But what happened to make him fall from grace? What's going on together with his latest tweet? We've got the lowdown on the whole thing you will have to know about Jokerd at this time. 

Who is Jokerd and what's going on along with his Twitter?

Jokerd not too long ago took to Twitter to give his first remark on the occasions that swirled round his involvement in the World of Warcraft esports neighborhood as of late. After hitting degree 60 in the latest release from Blizzard, WoW Classic, he signed with Method, the game's biggest esports group. 

However, it now appears to be like as despite the fact that he's been kicked from the workforce for excellent after showing "offensive and unsportsmanlike behavior," according to Method. 

It best took two weeks for this to happen, as well, which is slightly disheartening. During a raid in World of Warcraft, Jokerd took the opportunity to essentially scouse borrow an merchandise from the group, called the Staff of Dominance, on an American server. He took the article, left the world he stole it from, and let one damning quote fly: 

"They think I care about my reputation on a f--king American server."

Jokerd defined on circulation that he did not in fact in finding anything flawed with what he had executed, and if truth be told, his raid crew Power praised him for it, which turns out slightly backward, to be truthful. 

"I’m going to get promoted to officer in Power because of this. There was a member of Power in this raid, George, and he instantly told the rest of them what he did and you know what they said? “‘Nice one! Good job, f--k yeah! Congrats Jokerd,’ they said, because it’s an upgrade to Power." These had been Jokerd's direct quotes.

He wasn't carried out there, however. 

"Power just became stronger for me, [Twitch user] ninjaing. Think about it for a second, if you’re Power. Do you want some random guy to get Staff of Dominance? F--k no! You want someone in Power to get more powerful, and guess what? That’s what happened."

Unfortunately, Jokerd's group Method did not trust the way he had behaved. 

Just a couple of hours after new of his movements hit the web, Jokerd used to be launched from the crew's streamer crew and used to be suspended pending an investigation. 

"Method has been made aware of the situation that recently occurred involving Method streamer and WoW Classic influencer Jokerd," mentioned normal supervisor Shanna "Darrie" Roberts. From there, Jokerd's status has effectively been in limbo. 

In one final observation, Method went on to confirm that they might now not be operating with Jokerd. "After having the chance today to meet with Jokerd's manager, we can now confirm publicly that Method has terminated the contract of Jokerd effective immediately," the statement read. "We wish Jokerd well in his streaming and playing career. No further statements will be made as we look towards moving on from this incident."
