Support for the LGBT community: Call of Duty pro player Talal Almalki shocks Twitter by disassociating himself from his team, “I am a Muslim”

Talal Almalki, better known as Virus, tweeted and deleted criticism regarding FaZe’s Pride Month celebrations. Like most companies, FaZe has attempted to show support for the LGBT+ community by changing its logos to match the LGBT pride flag, which seems to have upset Virus.

Virus, the first Saudi to commit to the esports team, tweeted that he does not support the gay community and ended his tweet with “I am a Muslim”.

This tweet led to many people calling on FaZe to remove Virus’s contract, but so far the company hasn’t said anything about it.

Virus was recruited in December 2020 and mostly played Call Of Duty for FaZe. His YouTube channel has racked up around 580,000 subscribers and on his Twitch channel, it has been streamed to nearly 230,000 followers.
