And the comments are Scrubquotes goldmine.

The original tweet.


The replies...


There's more but they've got homophobic slurs in them. Read the replies of the original tweet or check the Scrubquotes account.
Between this and the review bombing of the game on Steam, today's been pretty bad for the CS:GO community.

EDIT:
After his exchange with Sonicfox, S1mple clarified in a Twitlonger, as pointed out by EbullientPrism
At the time when I wrote the tweet (https://twitter.com/s1mpleO/status/1071018131722829824) I didn't know that SonicFox is playing 5 different games. I was not quiet clear with what I meant in that tweet, what I really wanted to say is that for me it is really hard to compare these such different games - A shooter and a fighting simulator.

In fightings everything is based only on your own skill, you don't need to depend on your teammates as you are the only one who plays against the enemy. While in CS you need to include the aspect of team composition. You can be insanely good at the game itself, but it will never let you win anything if you can't find a good team chemistry, good team mind set. Psychology is an important part in building up a team, CS can be compared to most of the traditional sports (Soccer, Basketball and so on) if we are talking about building up a team.

So overall I do not think it is the right way to compare these games, in each game there is something unique that can not be just easily compared to another. SonicFox totally deserved this award since he made a lot of effort in order to win so much and not only in one game but several of them. Anyone who was nominated for this award completely deserves to be on the list and I hope that we will "meet" in this competition once more in the next year đź’Ş

What are the 5 games?

DBZ
Mortal Kombat

Injustice?

Like I'm pretty sure if you haven't heard of 1/5 you literally live in a cave with no internet or connection to the outside world.

He's been a top player or the best player in the following,

DoA
Skull Girls
MK9 and 10
Injustice 1 and 2
Marvel Infinite
DBFZ

I'm probably missing some and some of those have a pretty competitive player base.

The dick measuring contest of which esports game takes more "skill" than others will always be the lamest shit.

Meh, doesn't seem like there's any bad blood between the guys. So hopefully internet doesn't stir up some huge drama from it. Just don't do it gaming community, behave yourselves for this once.

Dead or Alive, Mortal Kombat, Injustice, Dragonball Fighterz, Skullgirls are the top 5 games Sonicfox is known for.
He's also dabbled in others like Soul Calibur 6 but he rules over Skullgirls and the NRS community. DBFZ and DoA he's at a top level but there are others who are as good.

Started with a compliment, ended with "But CSGO is team game, there is more things to practice individually and with a team, this game is more harder and interesting ". Seems like he feels while Sonicfox's accomplishment is good, he's accomplished more since 'his game' is harder. Dunno seems pretty salty to me.

Thats a lot more tame than I expected from s1mple.

Also SonicFox wins, maybe if you showed up in the grand finals of a major you wouldn't lose esports player of the year

The guy is a fighting game beast. He's either the top player or top 7 in each of the games listed. Well damn deserved.

Initial tweet seems fairly tame, especially since he's congratulating the guy. Those comments are hilarious though, "low competitive playerbase" in dbzf hahahahaha. Just salt and ignorance.

The only way you don't read that tweet as salty is if you don't understand what salty means. He's straight up undermining SonicFox's skill because he mad another sport is getting shine than his.

I was going to make this thread but was hoping for a more interesting discussion. Instead of just trying to call this guy out on being salty, which feels kind of juvenile to me, discuss whether someone from a non-team game excelling is as valuable as a player who excels with their team and learns all the nuances of a game while working with the dynamics of others.

I'm not sure where I stand on it, personally. Having one person only need to worry about a singular opponent and not having to work with the unique aspects of their teammates feels a bit underwhelming when compared with competitive CS:GO or LoL.

Apply this to traditional sports: does that still apply?

You can enjoy watching or playing team games more than individual ones. But solo game are by no means easier to excel at at than team games.

Dont tweet dumb shit though. Life isn't as hard as some people make it seem. No rational adult would read that and think "Stop at the congratulations kid".

"Sonicfox I'm really happy for you but CSGO is the hardest, most interesting game of all time."
Does that answer your question?

While this discussion is worth having, it'd be a hypothetical here. Someone else in this thread mentioned that S1mple doesn't even reach grand finals in CS:GO that often.
Meanwhile Sonicfox dominates in multiple games.

But why do you think that it's an excuse? Like, it's 2018. Everybody already agrees Kanye is an asshole. You putting it out there like we can't get mad at CSGO dude because Kanye did the same thing, and I'm just really wondering why.

LOL Era dont care.

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm the OP. My thread title calls the dude salty. I'm not sure where you're getting this from.
The person I quoted was calling S1mple's post tame. I countered by saying it was as corny as Kanye's salty stage antic.

Calling a fighting game a "just mash buttons" game is the same as calling a shooter "just point your mouse and click on the head"

LOL at these people acting like fighting games are just mashing random buttons. You can make the same reductive statements about CSGO, "duh you just move your mouse and click on people's heads. ezpz"

Both games are great and have their nuances. No need to be dicks.

Conversely, with team games you can have your teammates pick up the slack if you're having a bad game or aren't quite as skilled as the rest.

In fighting games? No one to lean on.

Something to consider.
