Nix sharply responded to NS's accusations of rigging viewership

Alexander “Nix” Levin noted that the activity in Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov's chat is due to the pranks that the content creator plays on viewers, which makes it impossible to objectively compare audience sizes based on such criteria.

The stremer made the coresponding statement on Twitch.

"NS is just... I don't even want to talk to him. He makes crazy statements, claiming that his chat is more active than mine. I've had follow mode for three months, thousands of people are constantly getting banned, and he's like, ‘Write !comp in the chat to win a computer.’ People sit there and spam, and he's like, 'I have more messages in the chat, Nix is awesome'. That's the level of analytics."

According to Alexander “Nix” Levin, his competitor previously used other arguments to justify having a smaller audience than Nix, citing problems in obtaining rights to broadcast without delay. However, the streamer noted that NS's audience was smaller even when Nix streamed with a fifteen-minute delay. Alexander “Nix” Levin believes that his opponent is not using objective statistics when making his accusations.

"I don't even want to get into it. It was so long ago. If he thinks I'm cheating, let him think so. He used to say that I had more viewers because I got the rights to stream without delay earlier than he did. But NS simply forgot that I casted with DotaTV with a 15-minute delay but had more viewers. Even though he streamed without delay.

You can never prove these things. The graphs he showed are not objective at all. The sites that read the information do it incorrectly. If he logs into his Twitch dashboard, he will see that the numbers there are completely different."

Alexander “Nix” Levin also noted that if viewers were being inflated on Twitch, it could be determined by metrics on other platforms. Moreover, his partners show a high level of trust and are satisfied with the quality of the content creator's audience.

Earlier, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov called on Alexander “Nix” Levin to admit to inflating his viewership numbers, citing low activity in the content creator's chat.
