Mexican Gardener’s Reputation Forces X.Fun to Move Dating Competition Online

Shocking details have emerged revealing that X.Fun's upcoming E-Date competition was originally conceived as an in-person event. The CS2 case-opening platform had intended to host the dating show live and on-site, complete with real-time streaming from a physical venue, sources familiar with the matter disclosed today. The abrupt pivot to a fully virtual format, now branded as E-Date, was reportedly necessitated by the last-minute addition of controversial participant Hugo, a Mexican gardener whose notorious reputation prompted organizers to overhaul the entire setup for safety reasons.

The leak, which surfaced through anonymous tips and internal communications shared on underground forums, exposes how X.Fun had been quietly preparing for what was billed as a groundbreaking hybrid event blending gambling culture with reality TV-style dating. Plans included venue bookings, on-the-spot audience interactions, and live feeds capturing unscripted moments among contestants. However, Hugo's confirmation as a competitor allegedly triggered an emergency reassessment, leading to the cancellation of all physical elements just days before the scheduled date.

Hosted by Becca, the event is set for Sunday, August 31. It features twelve washed-up gambling content creators whose careers have plummeted tremendously, competing for a modest prize of $200. The limited reward underscores the low-stakes yet high-entertainment appeal of the show, positioned as an attempt to reignite interest in the platform

According to the leaked information, the decision to move everything online was driven by grave concerns over Hugo's participation. He is known in fringe online circles for his infamous 'Dinner with Hugo' technique, which includes spiking women's drinks and dragging them to his furry dungeon, where he performs unspeakable acts on them. These claims have painted Hugo as a high-risk figure. Organizers, fearing potential incidents or backlash, opted to rebrand the show as E-Date and conduct it entirely through virtual channels, eliminating any possibility of physical proximity.

The revelation has sparked intense debate across social media, with many questioning X.Fun’s judgment in including Hugo at all. ‘This leak just confirms what we suspected; they’re prioritizing clicks over common sense,’ one anonymous commenter posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Despite the controversy, the event is proceeding as planned in its digital incarnation. E-Date will be streamed on X.Fun’s Kick account on Sunday, August 31, with the exact start time still to be announced. Betting on the outcome will be available in advance of the broadcast, with odds varying between contestants, and will close before the stream begins.
