Recently, Cody Sun took to Twitter to criticize some of his fellow players for employing "psychological warfare" in various forms, such as interviews, social media, spreading rumors, and causing drama.
His outburst was triggered by a general discussion about the significance of SoloQ (Solo Queue) for pro players. Cody Sun expressed his belief that some NA players lack dedication and show no respect for SoloQ or the ladder. He accused them of using psychological tactics to downplay the importance of SoloQ.
For the longest time, NA has been plagued with complacency, great pretenders that get signed based on brand value alone. Many of whom show absolute zero respect to SoloQ or the ladder. These individuals will employ psyops on the masses to convince that soloq isn't important.
Psyops? These are some serious allegations. But how did the community react?
Community and Pro-Scene Reactions
Some people, like the former pro-player turned coach Maurice "Amazingx" Stückenscheider, engaged in discussions with Cody Sun over these claims, while others simply used memes to react.
For instance, LoL streamer and content creator "snowbird" posted a meme in response to Cody Sun's declaration that "these individuals will employ psyops on the masses".
Most just don't this joker seriously, and we agree.
