Swatting is a hoax call to the police to undertake actions against a particular person. Streamers getting swatted on streams is not a rare sight. Over the years, many such personalities have been subjected to this. The 23-year-old had to halt the stream after authorities barged into his room and requested he switch off the stream. Viewers were also left stunned after the entire debacle unfolded in front of the camera.

However, he appeared fairly calm and composed at the moment, despite worries at the unusual sight of him getting SWATTED. Due to the police officers being far from the mic, their conversation was inaudible. The only line that was heard was when the streamer asked the officers if he should switch off the camera: "Do you want me to turn it (stream) off?" Seconds later, he switched off the camera and audio. The cops interrupted a ranked game he was playing with TSM teammate Evan Verhulst and former TSM professional Mac "Albralelie." (Timestamp: 5:05:18) The American esports player abruptly stopped engaging in the game. Although, initially, neither of his friends noticed, Verhulst later examined the situation and rejoined the match after checking on ImperialHal. Even though the streamer's friends were still confused by his abrupt absence, the chat briefed everybody on what had happened. Fans were relieved to learn that he was safe after Philip rejoined the stream and clarified everything. According to him, the police officers had asked him to do something about the fake calls. He added: “They told me I should do something about it, but what am I supposed to do? I can’t really do anything about it.” How fans reacted to entire drama Viewers were naturally unsettled and anxious at the sight of the police officers knocking on his door. Although the professional gamer is safe and did not face any further questions, fans are still confused about the entire situation.
