The incredible bare-knuckle fight between a kid and a billionaire over Call Of Duty
Changing weapons for fists

Imagine you are playing Call Of Duty and your game keeps lagging, causing you to lose continuously. A stealth shot, an incredible attack, someone who saw you standing and killed you before you could even react. It’s normal to end up cursing the mother of the person who killed you, imaginary beings, or even the video game and its developers. But there was a person in France who decided to go further… And it almost had consequences.
I’ll wait for you at Lidl
A user named JimmyBLLT couldn’t stop losing in a game back in May, so he decided to turn to his computer to vent and write on Twitter “Xavier Niel, I hate you, I challenge you to a one-on-one in front of the Lidl on Sainte Street in Marseille“. Who is Xavier Niel? Just a billionaire with a fortune valued at 10 billion euros and the majority shareholder of Iliad SA, one of the largest Internet providers in all of France.
What would you do if you had that money and read a written threat against you? Probably open your vault and take a bath, Uncle Scrooge style, right? Well, Niel is not like that and decided to go to the Lidl supermarket on Sainte Street in Marseille to confront it. In a video he uploaded on November 15, half a year after the threat, Biel said “I’m waiting for you, where are you? Come on! Do you want us to meet in the parking lot?”.
If you think there is now a Call Of Duty player and a millionaire in the hospital with several fractures after an epic fight, I’m sorry to disappoint you. JimmyBLLT explained that he wrote his first tweet after losing his temper due to lag, he refused to fight the millionaire and gave up. Once again, capitalism beats us all.
