Streamers Targeted as Marvel Rivals Bounty Site Goes Offline

[nihalsari]

The controversy surrounding Marvel Rivals deepened after reports revealed that Intlist’s bounties were frequently placed on high-profile players rather than confirmed griefers. According to coverage from Kotaku, popular streamer and pro player Jay3 was listed with a cash reward attached to his matches. Many listings reportedly included Twitch handles and ranked details, making it easier for so-called “bounty hunters” to track their targets.

The platform has since gone offline following what its founder, EchoRivals, described as “unauthorized access” that exposed user emails. While the site is currently down for maintenance, community frustration continues to grow. Players are now calling on NetEase to issue permanent bans to anyone involved with bounty-driven griefing. Until stronger moderation arrives, competitive players fear the ranked ladder could remain a place where someone in the lobby might literally be getting paid to lose.

“Unauthorized access” is bad — incentivized harassment is worse.

If NetEase doesn’t nuke this from orbit, Marvel Rivals ranked is dead on arrival.
