SonicFox

There was one kind of SAW thing, though.

SonicFox was getting a little bit of backlash because he rejected a company that wanted him to come out to do some stuff, but they use an AI graphic and They put him in there using AI, and he said, no, because you use AI, I'm going to bow out.

I'm not going to this event anymore.

And they apologized for it, but there were some people that were like, hey, SonicFox, you want to be all high and mighty.

Well, you are still going to an event called EVO that's all about Saudi Arabia.

Again, what about ISM? So they were trying to work bodies on Sonic Fox.

In the first days of July 2020, serious misconduct allegations about Evo CEO Joey Kohler, the same Mr. Wizard that signed the email banning Low Tier God, went viral.

Top player SonicFox dropped out of Evo Online, and commentators also slipped away.

Evo first suspended Color, and then said he would no longer be involved with Evo in any capacity, and named co-founder Tony Cannon as the new CEO.

The fallout was extremely fast.

He- here's the thing, Phoenix, is they will.

Then it's gonna be at their own undoing because in six months from now, Mr. SonicFox guy, lady, or whatever they are, is going to, is gonna slip up.

And that person who goes, "Man, SonicFox is so cool right now.

Oh my God.

Ugh, mm," right? Whoever does that, they're gonna flip, and all of a sudden SonicFox is gonna be like, "How fucking da- how could they? How fucking dare you, SonicFox? How dare you betray your trust and morals for use of, of AI when once again he's..." Th- they're, they're all doing it right now anyways.

They're all using AI immediately right now anyways.

So they're all, they're all fucking hypocrites.

It's crazy.

Mm

... like Sonicfox in there, Hikari in there, like, these are multiple Evo champions.

Like, there seem...

There's always this delusion that Sonicfox is, like, not that good at fighting games just because they don't prefer to play Street Fighter.

Sonicfox is that good.

[laughs]

Yeah.

So Sonicfox is in your game, and you're winning over Sonicfox, that is a huge accomplishment, period.

Uh, they, they, the, the normal player thinks they have a right to go to a local, play in a 512-player bracket, and even though when they eventually get to the good players, like two days later, they're gonna lose 0 and 3, 0 and 5.

They want the right to say, "Hey, I played against SonicFox once at a local." And it's so gross, uh, that actual talented pros...

And, and the worst part is they use SonicFox as the example going, "Well, without local, SonicFox never would've come along." Yeah, I think people can spot prodigious talent, and you ain't it, unfortunately.

And, and so the entire thing-

Yeah
