Further Information: - During the editing of this video Ari was banned from the Liquid Breakout server without reason. After this video was released, elite decided to finally pay Ari, and as far as I know she is working on LB again. - Some more info has come out about Elite not completing OST commissions after being paid for them. Several creators have personal stories of their OST commissions being ignored after payment and heavily procrastinated on. - For section 2, Elite has also spent 60k+ robux on FE2CM donations. - Billie and the FEM team paid 10k robux for a boltzone OST, and no OST had arrived after months of no work. After this video was made and more attention brought to this exact scenario, elite refunded the comission. - contributing to section 4, Ev_n experienced a mass video purge by elite for a reason he still does not fully understand involving elite’s music, this created a lot of stress, panic and confusion and there was no resolution. - aspa has come out to state him and elite never really resolved issues despite what elite has said in section 5, so elite has furthermore lied about resolving his problems. - after making this video, i was personally banned from the Liquid breakout discord despite not breaking any rules, which I couldn't even do because I was muted. - Elite has privated his Forest Facility OST, yet has not issued any form of apology or resolution to Kozin, instead trying to deflect the situation. - Elite continues to deflect the stacks of evidence and proof pinned against him stating that these are "old" situations that have been privately resolved. A minimum of 4 of the situations listed in this video have not been resolved whatsoever, and Elite provides no evidence that he has actually resolved anything. These situations were AT MOST from the end of the first quarter of 2023. Just because time has passed, it doesn't mean your actions are prohibited from consequence. Corrections: - Slight mistake at 12:42, attribution is a factor in copyright law, profit can be depending on the situation.

Man, I want to go back when FE2 was just a game with no issues at all. The time where people are struggling on that one jump at dark sci-fi facility, panicking at sinking ship, falling in the pillar jump of lost desert and calling castle tides as the hardest map. I never thought we will end up like this

crazy how everyone ignored and hid this. community really loves censorship.

I could see this coming from miles away. There was always something strange about this guy, which is why I didn't want to associate with Liquid Breakout. With all the dramas is the past that Elite has been in too, I'm not surprised this happened. Disappointing. I was actually a victim of Elite's degeneracy too, and I'm not surprised he was like this with others. Thank you short for making this video. This was much needed, and you did the right thing. Edit: I heard Elite is tying up the loose ends. I really do hope he's learned for the second time now.

I witnessed this whole situation unfold right from the beginning of the document, and he has constantly downplayed and ignored it. I tried to speak to Elite, trying to reason with him, only to be constantly shut off, so it really feels like a lost cause. Glad to see this situation's truth spread out. I don't want any hate against him, I just want to see him recognise his mistakes and recover as a person.

Man, this is sad to see. My impression of Elite was initially hopeful, AVM and DS have some of the best OSTs of FE2. Until one day, where Ev_n DM'ed me saying that Elite STRIKED him just for using AVM's OST outside of the map. I thought that was way too excessive, and while he is legally allowed to do that, I think that is messed up. Despite that, I did not expect all of this to come out. Edit: The FE2 discord server is banning any mention of this drama on Coolzaks' behalf, I find this rather strange.

Despite all those dramas that happened in the past, I genuinely hope that Elite learns from his mistakes and become a better person 🙏

Finally, EliteLAQ (aka iiELiTe_YT) did a another drama again after 4 years!!!! 😂😂😂

Can we talk about how Lux has continued to ignore this drama and never really addressed it, yet the FE2 community is able to move on as if nothing happened? And at the same time we’re okay with disposing of people like Tom Brady and AngelsCrowning. Not saying that what the latter two was good at all (it wasn’t. Tom is a disgusting person and Angel. seriously man) but how come we’re so willing to forgive Lux despite all the things they’ve done potentially being worse than what the two I’ve mentioned have done? I quote a movie for this situation: “When you (Lux) try to destroy the world, it’s an error in judgment. But when I (the rest of us) do it… lock them up. Throw away the key.” The two tiered justice system of FE2 is insane.

sad how i warned him too and he refused to listen and hid from his responsibilities once more, now the real truth has been uncovered and there’s no more hiding.

Hey guys, if he takes down this video that further proves the point that he refuses to take accountability and responsibility and he is scared to face his consequences!! I wouldn't recommend doing it if I was you Elite. Please change for the better. It's okay to acknowledge your mistakes. You haven't resolved anything until you have confronted the victims by genuinely apologising and promising never to do those awful things again and being more considerate to people

For someone like me who has not followed the FE2 community, this was very helpful in understanding all the drama that was going on with Elite. Very informative and easy to follow, very good work

Thank you ShortZaZ for this video, it was well put together, thought out, and the stuff you uncovered really showed a lot about who Elite really is.

as a former elite 'dickrider' (according to rui) i am glad that you have opened my eyes to how scummy of an individual elite is. thank you zaza

you know I just noticed that elite concidental went on break the exact day this video was uploaded

Im a huge fan of elite's work but seeing him like this really changes my view on him and his works. I cant believe someone like him would do something like this instead of keeping a good reputation amongst the FE2 community. I swear one more incident like this and I will start to lose trust in everyone.

with the release of his new cma ost and people going crazy over it, im convinced everybody has fully forgotten this entire thing. im severely disappointed

It is crazy to see that a lot of people seem to have forgotten this situation. Also quick note here: Lux has made Quicksilver Vault's OST public again just a few days ago.

elite and r kelly both got smth in common mfs hop on their meat cuz they make music

Elite has definitely crossed the line on this one. Throughout this year I've seen him do bad things but I would've never expected something THIS BAD from him, so all of this is kind of shocking to me. Thanks for making this video, it really helps me understand what's going on with all this.

barely knew about this situation until the day i saw the premiere when this video came out, and watching it really opened my eyes. i made many osts for some of my own flood escape maps, and just songs in general, and elite somrwhat inspired me which is why i sort of (emphasis on sort of) saw him as a cool dude who makes songs in the community, and looked up to him. thank you short for bringing this to light.

This drama getting forgotten like a never exists. I cannot ignore this video when i saw this rn, and zaz let vain like this so, I comment this Overall, I'm pretty surprised that fe2 community forgetting this drama. I can't let the this video got forgotten like never exists. Shortzaz0, I respect you. And now. I know the all truths behind of scene. I'm 100% sure theres a more person like lux, Hiding behind on secret. Thanks for the video

I hate how he seems so genuine and charismatic on platforms such as yt. But only so much happens behind the camera..

yep. everyone has forgetten abt this. pretty sad to see fe2 is just gotten worse everyday... still, i wont ever forgive him...

This is so heartbreaking to see one of my favorite FE2 KZfaqrs act like this. Now that you've shown me who Elite really is, I feel betrayed in admiring him this entire time.

why are people hiding this? This needs to get out to more people

Used to look up at him and promote his game and music… though this is unbelievable behavior. This video was well informative and I appreciate you putting all your time into making this! (My Decaying Silo remix for him is finna be discontinued ig.)

Lux ignored everything and he's pretending to be "nicer" lmao this dude a wierdo

never thought that my fav composer will be like this thanks for making the video!

I've also noticed in the new Spotify releases, Elite didn't credit other people in the collab OSTs (Domino in Closing Hours, Codex and Games in A. Junkyard, etc)

Kinda disgusting how he’s made basically no public statement on all the stuff he’s accused of. I guarantee this stuff is gonna get brushed under the rug for longer because he’s making osts for new version of popular map. I hope this stuff gets pushed out further so elite can actually be held accountable for his actions lmao

I can’t believe I used to be friends with him. Thanks for spreading awareness about this.

As soon as I realized Lux was adding all the maps he made an OST for into LB, I knew that there was something fishy going on. Now months later, here we are. Really disappointed to see a pretty big figure in the FE community acting this way, but to be honest it was expected.

still tuned in to some of his osts even if i had a feeling he wasnt a good person because of how i saw the way he interacts with people is just ;;;;;; i had doubts before, but seeing this my perspective of elite completely changed now; thank you for sharing this video

Tbh ive always been interested in the lb and fe2 community and honestly the music is one of the things i look at the most ive always wanted to make music for maps because thats something i like to do as i look up to people like elite, axmatt, lemmy lada, games and codex, but after seeing this it makes me get an off feeling Everytime elite is brought up.I used to look up to him but as seeing the individual he really is i don't think that will continue to be the case. It makes me uncomfortable to see the disgusting messages that hes sent to codex and others, its all very edgy in my opinion anyhow i think that this has tought me that people can be very misleading.

lets all say goodbye to satomi's, avm's, ds's and snowy's soundtrack from the game 🫤

the fact crazyblox tries to hid this drama. apparently pushing someone to near suicide isn't enough for crazyblox to take any actions. terrible developer.

as the 1# top player in LB i feel sad of how lux ended like that damaging other people and see all the time i spent in the game just to ended up throwing it in a trash can edit: ive found lux refunded to the FEM (Flood Escape Mission) and some others problems in the vid, so im considering not abandoning LB and regret my actual thinking to this game, thanks lux for REALLY resolving your problems :D

Really good video, It was necessary to spread some light over what has happened. Edit: FTR, I'm only mad for what lux did with Riptide. Everything else does not matter imo.

I really hoped that Elite would change for the better. However, I was recently in a Chaos server with him and Games, when people brought up this video. Elite disregarded it and started calling the video "misinformation," saying it in a mocking tone. Then he immediately switched the topic by asking if people wanted to be gifted coins, it really shows.. how easily fans can be swindled because their 'idol' is in the chat. It definitely shows that they do not care about the situation at all, Elite's reputation is barely ruined. He knows he has a large fanbase that consists of mainly kids that love his OSTS, and would barely think that he would be the type of person to do that. If anyone was in that Chaos server earlier (which is today, the day I wrote this comment) tell me if I missed anything !

This drama didn't lead to anything? What impresses me the most is that Crazyblox did NOTHING about this case, the guy left his own discord because of a Drama criticizing a map, but he completely ignores this whole situation (It's worth remembering that when the Nennai [creator of Autumn hideaway, who was discovered to be a pedo] drama happened, he quickly removed her and her map from all areas of FE2)

judgement day has arrived bro really COOKED KEEP ON COOKING 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

This man has always treated me like shit so thank the lords for someone stepping up to show the world this mans lies to the world. He also was really rude to alot of other people I know so thanks man. Ima sub and like this video. your a legend.

Wow, la verdad no se que decir... Gracias por explicar la situación, no me esperaba esto de Elite, pues.. desde que volví a fe2 quedé enamorada con sus canciones y pensaba que era buena persona, pero es mejor saberlo, de nuevo muchas gracias por exponer todo esto!

have people forgotten about this? shame

damn. im guessing that if crazy inevitably sees this, elite’s contributions will be removed, which will be kinda sad. several maps will need to be remade, multiple OST’s remade, etc. truly an end of an era for this community

Glad you spoke up about this, it was kinda odd when I didnt see much of anyone talking about it as it was so sudden when my friend sent the doc to me

still surprised how this entire situation got swept under the rug. I thought his OSTs would get pulled from the game but there literally nothing done from both lux's end and the FE2 team. Kinda disappointing

It took me an hour to read it all, as I don't understand English well. However, I'm sorry it ended like this

it's liquid breakover

90% of all these situations were avoidable had lux been mature and all parties involved had kept clear communication lines.

lux is currently openly mocking a twitter thread where someone in the fe2 community is encouraging people to stop supporting him

I was gonna try cover this on my own but you did it a lot better than i couldve done myself. Great vid man.

It is absolutely infuriating how everyone is defending Elite after all the shit he's pulled. Even the game developers are supporting him. This is why I don't like to play fe2 anymore. In my opinion, shortzaz, I wouldn't even play fe2 anymore if I were you. It's best not to give these people exposure.

another thing about kozin and elite is that elite has been practically harassing and bullying kozin over a literal music plugin (has worsened kozins mental health) and for some reason people keep letting it slide

I just heard about this today, and I’ve been friends with this guy since 2021. I feel sad to see him and everything fall apart, but eh. I hope karma comes back to this group, and it comes crashing down once more. I'd say "I hope he becomes a better person", but he won't. He NEVER becomes a better person.

Lux used his fame to get himself forgiven and didn’t get banned. Fame=Power apparently and crazy didn’t seem to give one crap about this. You should remake this video and talk about how this got swept under the rug.

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE CRAZYBLOX DISCORD SERVER WITH THIS ONE

I'm highly disappointed that elite turned out to be this person who would take others work and claim it as his own. I had high hopes for him I never thought this would actually happen. This is very sad.

The king of FE2 Map Highlight OSTs is being dethroned. W video short.

This is an unfortunate cause of this situation. I heard this rumor in Axmatt’s server, by a video made by LordLMLegend, who had privated it after for over 30 minutes. I’ve seen it all in that video (ofc it was low quality), gladly this situation becomes more aware after this rumor spread out. I would do anything to avoid and protect myself, along with Coded, my friend over the past nine months. He has been on positive side, me didn’t think no there was a problem between Lux and Coded, and i wasn’t aware. I’m glad Coded is okay and i hope this “EliteLAQ” situation ends pretty soon. I don’t want to see this type of drama and conversations like these ever again. This is kind of a lot to take in.

I do want to say, elite had every single right to cut me off, as I had been a bit of a dick in the FE2 community and that has to be acknowledged, however bringing it to the public eye was worse then what I initially did, and I should be held accountable for said things. (Qsv drama) Elite ended up paying me over 40k robux for my work, as I had issues with him in the past, so I forced him to pay me before I gave him my work, I also would force him to pay me if he offered to pay for something small, scummy? A little, but it prevented me from falling victim to elite essentially scamming his developers

I hate how he just went offline for a few days, came back and suddenly nobody cares about the stuff he did anymore just because he made multiple perm map OSTs. the moment he gets exposed for something worse suddenly everyone "always knew he was a bad person"

I believe Lux also criticized a musician for using xpand (a music plugin with the lux guitar). Criticizing somebody’s method to create is simply projecting your self-frustration on others.

Eh regular lux activity can’t wait to see what he does for 2024

Seeing some of my friends affected by Elite's behavior is demeaning. I'm desperately hoping that other communities hear this loud and clear and consequently run Elite off any platforms he has to harming people in.

It’s sad to be honest, when I started FE2 back in 2018. (Quitted in 2019.) Then came back last month. And I realised Decaying Silo’s music actually devoured and I truly like his songs, but after I saw this video in my recommended, my favourite towards him inverted. I truly loved him though.. PS: When I said last month, your video was posted before I started playing that game back. I actually didn’t know the drama, thanks for letting me know.

the community is fucked beyond belief because people only hate now in the server and support weirdos like lux

Let me add something to your story shortzaz. So back when Chaoz Japan was highlighted Yozy was doing the V2 ost for CJ. But IBlobbz said that elite dmed him this: Imma create the ost for you. Dont let Yozy create it. Bro when we heard it everyone were so angry at Elitelaq because he is selfish and doesnt other people make more creations. In the end even axmatt made the video about it.

whatever happens, I just don't want FE2 to die.

It's bidone, it's joever.

Did he just caught LAQing? But still.. I'm quite disappointed as his fame and music has so much potential to FE2. I hoped he becomes responsible for his actions..

hold on whats with that message at 13:44 i dont recall resolving anything about the doc??? i mean I did talk to him about it but I dont see how that would relate to "resolving the issue" weird

Can't care less about the drama but this comment section is just so entertaining to watch

Finally the cat is out of the bag. I HATE Elite for what he’s done, that greedy bastard.

i actually wanted to make a video like this but hey glad that more ppl are now seeing this! but im also really dissapointed, because remember, this was the guy who revived FE2 and it's community. And he invented these cool FE2CM OST videos. It's very sad how talented people like this do shit like this... I'm at the edge of crying. but thank you, thank you short for putting on the lightswitch on this situation.

Thank you for spreading awareness of him. I can't express how this hurts me as a music remixer. I appreciate you for doing the right thing.

oh great another Nennai situation

You've opened our eyes to what we weren't able to see in Elite, nice work zaz.

Hey, Elite, if you ever read this, I’m wishing the best for a turn in your actions. Even if that means owning up to your own of the past. It’s not hard to change for the better, as well as just being a good person, and I hope you’ll soon understand that. While the way you’ve interacted with some and what you’ve done to CodedAbyss and some of the Liquid Breakout developers as a whole is absolutely unforgivable, there’s always still room for a second chance. Me and such a large handful of others love the positive things that you’ve done for the community and I just know there’s somewhere where you’ve still got the charm to do more for all of us as a whole. Please, do whatever it takes to Make the right choice and change for the better. You’ve still got people out there that really do care, and if it doesn’t make you feel good enough, then me and a few others here are to name a few of the many of them.

thank you zaz you are officially my father

Thats gross also this is only the stuff we know about I've read some of the comments and seems like Elite is just a terrible person I can't imagine looking up to someone, getting your map added into the game, and then when you ask for compensation, you get ghosted. He's also actively removing comments, trying to downplay it, etc. Just terrible. That's not even mentioning the 13 year old stuff... Imagine if the person was a girl Crazy would probably immediately ban him and remove his OSTs but the double standard I guess?

Im just going to say it now: this makes me angry. To see one of my absolute favorite creators do such terrible things (especially the "explicit" comments and the refusal to pay deserved amounts) is disgusting, horribw, and wrong in every way. I love hia music and his FE2 maps, but this makes me wanna disconnect from him and his work entirely. (Although i probably wont since i love his stuff) . I hope he pays for his actions in some way, and get better. Thank you for bringing light to this situation, and letting me see this.

Everyday when I listen to Lux's OSTs I always looked up to him along with his skills. I saw little to almost no flaws in him until one day I had a small hunch: I had a feeling there was something he is hiding and thanks to this video I am now lost in words. I knew there was something wrong and I finally found all of my answers in this video here. Thanks short. You somehow managed to answer everything in this one video.

ELITE was absolutely DEVASTATED with this one!

I always loved Lux's uploads and everything, now heres the question: We all know about autumn hideway, HOWEVER since the creator has been exposed for terrible things so it has been removed. Now, assuming Crazyblox takes action like before, we have mostly everyones favorite new OSTS. Produced by EliteLAQ, Satomi Springs, Active Volcanic Mines, Decaying Silo, thats all i think. Now, im thinking that these won't be removed because Crazyblox has had negative feeback on Bslick OSTS and wouldnt want them. Do I really think lux can come back from this, no. Even if he makes a public "statement" or apology theres no forgiving him we have to keep in mind that he didn't care and try to resolve a situation of CodedAbyss being suicidal. This will just leave everything in a dark light, and dont know whats to come with the future of Elite.

WE EXPOSING ELITE WITH THIS ONE 🥶🥶

Do not send hate to anyone involved in this video. If you do, you are no better than who you harass. Going into this video, please have an open mind. Forget any biases you may already have, positive or negative, and digest the information yourself.

convinced that the little fame they get is an outlet for failure & theyre all in on it. thank you for addressing the situation. 🙇

I can't believe something like this will actually happen especially how much Elite (lux) contributed to both LB and Fe2. He created so many amazing osts especially in fe2, and contributed to Decaying Silo. Idk what will happen next and if Crazyblox finds out what is going on, what will happen to what lux has done for fe2?

This man has always treated me horribly, thank you for making this video about him to remind others of how he acts you did the right thing

I tried to join Elite’s discord server and was met with an invalid link. Bro really deleted his discord server as if it was gonna smooth things over for him.

This is becoming like FE2 in its first years of release. There used to be a map made by Nanai (Autumn Hideaway) but Crazyblox cut ties with her after an incident involving a 13 year old person

ELITE IS (not) GETTING AWAY WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥

I really wish Elite pays back everyone he has worked with, instead of just making lies to make his situation better, because he has a gigantic impact on the FE2 Community, whether it’s with community maps, an entire fan game or even permanent maps which have him in it. It’d be a much better ending to the drama than having Elite be recognized forever as a horrible person.

adios

as someone who helped make the document this is a w

It's really sad how this video just came out and then... nothing. While this video was good enough evidence for me to believe elite isn't a great person, his lack of response and ignorance towards this situation further solidifies the truth. If he really knew everything was wrong, wouldn't it be simple to just make a response video debunking the claims? I don't know, I just feel weird listening to a bunch of popular OST makers now, because they all seem to accept elite. I know you should separate the art from the artist, but when so many of the artists condone this behavior, it becomes concerning. The worst part is Polar Industry apparently has a new OST by elite, so clearly there's been no consequences for his actions. Honestly, this whole situation sucks. It's made me question a lot of flood escape's decisions and whether or not I want to stay in this community.

I actually loved his osts, upsetting to find out that he isn't a good person Thank you for bringing light into this situation, now I wonder what will happen to fe2 after this...

I want to believe he will grow as a person but I’ve been on the internet long enough to know that isn’t gonna happen
