TL;DR

A leaked nine-second clip from a scrim between LA Thieves and Miami Heretics captured LA Thieves player Tyler "aBeZy" Pharris using a homophobic slur directed at RenKoR after being frustrated by a two-piece, with the original post disappearing from an anonymous X account before others spread it across social media.
100 Thieves founder Nadeshot addressed the situation on stream, suggesting the moment would pass and that "everyone wants something to be mad about," while also acknowledging the play that triggered the outburst.

A nine-second clip is all it takes sometimes. The scrim footage was brief, the original post is gone, and yet here we are.

Tyler "aBeZy" Pharris, one of the most decorated players in Call of Duty League history and a cornerstone of the LA Thieves roster, is at the centre of a controversy after a leaked clip from a Miami Heretics scrim captured him using a homophobic slur directed at RenKoR. The anonymous X account that posted the clip has since been deleted, but clips travel faster than deletions and the clip spread regardless.

What Happened in the Clip

The context is a scrim. RenKoR landed a two-piece on aBeZy's team in the moments preceding the clip. aBeZy's audible reaction in the nine-second clip included directing the slur at RenKoR while expressing frustration with the situation.

The clip itself has no date attached. It originates from a since-deleted anonymous account. The circumstances of how it was recorded and distributed are unknown.

Nadeshot's Response

Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag, founder of 100 Thieves which operates the LA Thieves franchise, addressed the situation on stream. His position was characteristically direct if not especially contrite: "We're going to revolve around the sun, like we always do. S**t is going to just move on, brother. Everyone wants something to be mad about."

He also acknowledged the skill involved in the play that triggered the reaction: "He really hit that s**t though, didn't he? Oh my God…"

The Questions the Clip Raises

The more specific question is the leak itself. Scrim footage doesn't typically escape into the public domain accidentally.aBeZy has not publicly commented on the incident at the time of writing. The CDL has not issued a statement.
