A Call of Duty player enraged by their internet provider threatened its owner to a 1v1 outside a Lidl supermarket. Much to everyone’s surprise, the Internet billionaire not only accepted the gamer’s match, but rocked up to the fight outside a Lidl supermarket. It really is a Warzone out there.
Internet Billionaire vs Call of Duty player
Call of Duty gamer JimmyBLLT took to Twitter to propose a fight between themselves and Xavier Niel, the French billionaire mogul owner of telecoms giant Iliad. In the translated post, the gamer threatened to “1v1” the owner outside of a Lidl in Paris.
“Xavier Niel, I hate you,” the CoD player said on Twitter. “I propose a 1v1 in front of the Lidl on rue Sainte in Marseille.”
The gamer later explained that he called out the internet mogul because he was “lagging” in Call of Duty and lost his temper. However, Niel – a man that presumably had better things to do – took up the challenge.
The billionaire, months later, turned up outside of the supermarked waiting for the gamer to turn up. “I’m waiting,” the businessman simply put on Twitter, posting a poorly-framed selfie outside of the Lidl Sainte Bienvenue.
After the gamer issued a quick apology, Niel posted a video of himself outside the supermarket saying: “Where are you?! Come on! Do you want to meet me in the car park?!”
Unfortunately, for spectators, the battle between CoD player and billionaire never happened with the gamer citing “34.2 temperature + stomach ache + headache” as reasons why they couldn’t attend the battle.
Via Dextero, even the Lidl supermarket got into the drama, tweeting: “Please come and pick up the man who has been tweeting since this morning in front of the store on rue Sainte in Marseille.”
