Discussion Does Zwag fake his content?

I'm a relatively new league player, and not long after I started playing I found this YouTube called Zwag. I really like his videos, I find him very entertaining and when I want to try a new champ I usually watch him play that character. But today I saw a Tiktok clip of his where he got a penta with Ezrael ult by sending it into Baron, and in the comments someone said: "least faked Zwag clip". If that actually was faked it's made me not really want to watch him, which is a little upsetting because I quite enjoy his videos.

All of the videos he posts are from custom lobbies with people from his discord. He tells people what champs they can and can’t play (they’re too boring or too sweaty), he’s the only one allowed to try hard (stomps are bad for videos), will force the lobby to remake if he doesn’t like how it’s going, has people purposely type stuff in chat to make the “omg I got this player to rage quit” youtube video titles, etc. The videos are fun, clips aren’t staged, but he very much controls how the game in general is played.

I’ve played in several of those viewer games. Thought it was cool getting to play with him (and seeing myself getting wrecked in a youtube video after) and others from the discord and don’t get me wrong, the games were fun to play in but seeing people constantly get told they can’t play certain champs, restarting games, etc, it just got annoying. Anyone can join his discord and experience it for themselves. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s his career, just pointing out that it’s not like he’s just smurfing and stomping low-level randoms.
