Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. No primary source confirms the player’s account of nearly quitting; all three timeline events rest on reports from insider-gaming.com and X original posts. Neither the player nor the cited supporters have been quoted on the record in the available evidence. The central claim remains unverified pending direct confirmation or additional independent reporting.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
