League Of Legends streamer Mitch “Krepo” Voorspoels stepped down down from the MSI caster desk after nude pictures of him leaked online. On Saturday morning, nude pictures of the League personality appeared online after he apparently sent them on Snapchat to a random girl online. The recipient, who claimed to be a 16-year-old, which is not underage in the EU, then posted the pictures online. It spread like wildfire for some reason.

Krepo is one of League Of Legends shining stars, a positive voice in a community filled with toxic rage. I’ve been a fan of his for years, back when he was just a player on Evil Geniuses and Elements. Since then, he’s risen to be one of Riot Game’s best casters, giving the best commentary from a support main. He breaks down each play, in a way that only a seasoned professional gamer could possibly manage. Krepo will tell you why Bard is trading in lane instead of collecting chimes or why a team didn’t rotate lanes fast enough.
It saddens me to see another bad controversy claim Krepo. Back in 2016, Gross Gore got banned on Twitch for calling Krepo a “pedophile” and dragging his name through the mud. Since then, he’s managed to keep a fairly representable profile, but it was just a matter of time before another storm struck the Bard main.
Posting any of the pictures on reddit will get you banned, and the admins are being very serious about following this rule. Taking a look at one of the threads, you can see dozens of removed comments and banned accounts that posted the pictures or other personal information. I will not be posting the pictures here, it’s unfair to Krepo and, quite frankly, I don’t want to see his dick. The man deserves his privacy and we should all give it to him.
Krepo was a huge fan of Snapchat, posting daily pictures of himself working out. It was obvious to his fans that he was proud of his athletic regiment and wanted others to follow in his footsteps. Back in his playing days, he was a bit chubby but owned it. His fans created the “ getting fat with Krepo ” meme, which spoofed another meme based off a popular League Of Legends player, “getting fit with Snoopeh. ” I thought Krepo’s social media presence had a positive effect on the community, which is why it’s unsurprising to see everyone on a Schadenfreude high and enjoying the downfall of one of League of Legends best players.
I truly hope that this little misstep doesn’t destroy Krepo’s career. He has quickly become one of the most popular casters and analysts in Riot Games repertoire and it would be a shame for him to lose it all because a bunch of reddit and 4chan users wanted to see what’s in his pants.
