Tarik recently interviewed the famous esports journalist Jake Lucky. During that session, they talked about various topics, but many were related to the competitive first-person shooter scene. Eventually, Lucky questioned the Twitch streamer about his feelings about playing against iiTzTimmy.
The Sentinels streamer didn’t hold his emotions back to praise the young Apex Legends pro. Tarik was familiar with Tim’s FPS skills, having played a lot of Apex Legends and Valorant with him. He not only called the latter a “beast” and also claimed to have the same potential as Shroud.
“Timmy is a beast. He’s my boy. He’s winning by a lot. And I’m losing by a lot, it feels like I’m feeding him.”
