Back From His Ban, Asmongold Has Opinions About Malena and Nmplol's Career

On August 22, one day after returning from a 14-day Twitch suspension, Asmongold commented on a situation involving Nmplol and Malena, a Norwegian personality who, according to Sportskeeda, had shared a social media post for the first time in approximately two years. Asmongold's position, according to a LivestreamFail thread submitted by user digitalpizza5, was that Malena is attempting to damage Nmplol's career and that he does not expect her comments to find a wide audience.

The Sportskeeda report characterizes Asmongold as expressing disappointment that Malena is, in his framing, trying to hurt Nmplol professionally. The report does not specify the content of Malena's post, and for the record, the signal does not establish what claim or grievance prompted the post in the first place. Asmongold's commentary treated the act of posting itself as the relevant fact.

Reaction on LivestreamFail split in predictable directions. Some commenters read Asmongold's framing as loyal defense of a friend. Others, based on the thread's general tenor, questioned whether characterizing a person's first public statement in two years as a career attack was an accurate read of the situation. Neither camp appeared to have access to the full text of what Malena actually posted.

Separately, a second LivestreamFail thread submitted by user Exile8698 on August 22 reported that Kaise, Asmongold's girlfriend, had developed rashes after spending a week at his residence. This followed coverage on August 21 noting that viewers had praised the visible cleanliness of his streaming setup and credited Kaise with the improvement. The rashes thread did not appear to slow that narrative so much as complicate it.

The Katchii angle, which surfaced on August 18 via Sportskeeda, added a third concurrent thread: Twitch streamer Katchii addressed rumors, apparently circulating before his unban, that she had been pursuing Asmongold romantically. Katchii's response, per Sportskeeda, was a denial. That story has not intersected with the Malena commentary in any documented way.

What happens next

Open questions include: what Malena's post actually said, whether Nmplol will comment publicly on Asmongold's defense, and whether the rashes report will attract follow-up from either Kaise or Asmongold on stream.
