“He’s Still Alive, Barely”: MoistCr1TiKaL’s Cheeky Video Title

Following his impressive 5-0 victory, MoistCr1TiKaL took to his YouTube channel, Penguinz0, to share his thoughts on the battle. His choice of title for the video, “I Killed A Man,”stirred considerable controversy, as it humorously exaggerated the outcome of the match.

Reflecting on his performance, MoistCr1TiKaL expressed that the unexpected nature of the match left even renowned predictors like Nostradamus and Baba Vanga astonished. He described it as one of the best nights of streaming he has experienced in years.

“What happened next, not even Nostradamus could have predicted. Baba Vanga wouldn’t have seen it coming, and goddamn, it was the best streaming night I have had in years. It was unbelievable what I did to that man in Pokémon.”

He further commented on the sensational video title, stating that while YourRAGE was indeed still alive, he was “barely”hanging on.

“He (YourRAGE) is still alive, barely. But the YourRAGE that currently walks the earth is not the man that was there yesterday. He is a completely changed person.”

YourRAGE’s Reaction to the Viral Title

YourRAGE responded to the playful title on X, clearly amused by MoistCr1TiKaL’s approach:

“Yo? ???? @MoistCr1TiKaL”

After experiencing a 5-0 defeat, YourRAGE delivered a comedic yet emotional rant during a live stream. He reflected on the match, humorously claiming he should have heeded divine advice to avoid taking on a formidable opponent like MoistCr1TiKaL.

“God, I should have listened. God said, ‘Stay in your lane, you’re a team builder, you don’t play randoms.’ ‘I can do anything I want to, God; Pokémon is Pokémon.’ But Josh, he is the f**king main character. It doesn’t matter. I have the heart, I have the time. Rage, that’s MoistCr1TiKaL. It’s not any old grunt.”

YourRAGE continued by expressing his own impatience and frustration:

“I am an impatient f**k. I am a b*tch. I am impatient. That whole guessing game? I am f**king loser when it comes to that sh*t.”
