Hey, gamers, get set for the upcoming journey. Dr Disrespect, the twice-crowned king, has just made a move that created a buzz all over the timeline. He made a public streaming event announcement, teaming up with former professional PUBG player Viss, to gain early access to an upcoming extraction shooter. But hold on there—it’s for PUBG. Yes, that PUBG. The stream, called ‘VissRespect,’ was to go live in just 30 minutes after the tweet. What an unpredicted revelation. The Doc is always in a hurry with speed, momentum, and of course, a lot of violence.
So what’s the catch then? The tweet was simple yet powerful: an announcement of a live stream for a new extraction shooter in the PUBG universe. Dr Disrespect, the self-declared king of streaming, teaming up with Viss, who is amongst the best in competitive PUBG. This is not just a co-stream; this is confrontation talk. The gaming community has been clamoring for an iconic extraction shooter title ever since the last one. And getting these two legends to reinforce the claim is like lighting a match on a barrel of fireworks. The response was immediate and, as is the case with the Doc’s audience, completely unfiltered.
The replies to the tweet are a crazy mix representing the Doc’s community perfectly. There is excitement, there is chaos, and, of course, there are many inside jokes. The players were all present in the situation at once. ‘VissRespect on a Fri champs yayayaya,’ one tweeter wrote, perfectly indicating the Friday excitement. Another user commented, ‘Doc and Viss, the two-time champion meets the PUBG legend. Expecting nothing but supremacy.’ Their combined playstyle—aggressive, flashy, and utterly ruthless—was greatly anticipated. Some were even curious if the Doc could deliver his signature VSM (Violence, Speed, Momentum) level, especially after joking about margaritas on a previous stream. ‘Are you gonna be able to perform at VSM level today Doc? You know, because of those margaritas yesterday…’ Smart question.
But it was not merely excitement and slogans all over the place. Some of the comments were analyzing the depth of the partnership’s significance. One gamer posed the question, ‘VissRespect’s playstyle intrigues me — is there gonna be an emphasis on aggressive playmaking with this new shooter?’ Now that’s a question, isn’t it? The extraction shooter world has usually been characterized by tension, strategy, and survival. However, if you combine the personalities of Dr Disrespect and a professional gamer like Viss, the whole thing might get turned upside down. Will it be a display of tactical precision, or a glorious, chaotic rush? The stream promised to disclose it.
And then, as always in the chaotic world of gaming Twitter, the discussion took some… surprising turns. Despite the support, the well-known, more divisive dialogues about Dr Disrespect reappeared with a few replies referring to past controversies. It’s a reminder that the Doc’s presence is never just about the game; it’s a big thing that attracts every aspect of his larger-than-life, often divisive, and sometimes even polarizing persona. Other replies were simply for the heck of it. One gamer put it, ‘It’s like the movie Annihilation. Only this time, it’s with German steroids, Carne asada burritos con queso de Guadalajara, and a whole lot of VSM. YAYAYAYAYA.’ Seriously, that might be the most accurate description of a Doc stream ever penned down.
What does all of this imply for PUBG and the extraction shooter genre? PUBG, which can still be considered a foundational battle royale, has been experiencing a sort of rebirth recently by trying all its past limitations. Creating a shooter that can be classified as extraction mode or could also be a standalone experience is an exciting and even a more natural next step. The genre that could easily attract a sizable audience has not yet found the title to really lay claim to the space has the presence of the two most recognizable names in tactical shooters and battle royale giving it a test run in public. It’s not just free marketing; it’s a genuine stress test that is conducted by the two shooters who know the genre inside out.
The stream must be over by now, but the ripples are just starting to appear. Their funniest (or most hilarious) moments are probably already storming YouTube and TikTok. Mechanics, graphics, and game potential are being hotly debated on Reddit and Discord. This is how games acquire popularity in the modern era—not just by a fancy trailer at an award show but through raw, live, unpredictable gameplay from gamers who are just irresistibly likable. Whether the game is ‘stupid af’ as one reply bluntly put it, or the next big thing, the community is always looking for the next great playstation and xbox experience.
