Controversies
In 2020 amidst friendly crew battle vs Uruguay, in anger of having its team beaten by a Toon Link player (minor), Santiago angrily and repeatedly told him to kill himself for playing a Zoner on stream. Santiago is also known to have an issue with arrogance. He expects other South Americans to invite him and his circle to crew battles with peer pressure. ZanT has been accused of abusing his moderation power as a mod for the Argentina Smashcord, banning people he does not like. This was explicitly shown with Uruguay players as well as even other Argentine LGBT players. ZanT has been accused of being an anarcho-communist and pro domestic Terrorist group: Antifa. Lastly, Santiago has also been called out for trash talking his ex-crew members and supposed friends of SinistersGG, stating they "Do not fit the size of the shirt" behind their backs. Multiple accusations have emerged of Santiago vehemently talking poorly of his local rivalry or any player deemed as an obstacle.
