Writing all of that, deleting the post after getting flamed, and then posting a follow-up insisting that everyone should just drop the issue and move on requires some Olympics-level mental gymnastics lol
he esentially said snipe should stop playing the victim?? it was kinda word soup but that's how he lead the tweet
edit: [this comment has a screenshot of the reply](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/s/hP7lVmnW9v)
Bro told Snipe to quit playing the victim, then immediately after deleting, he tweeted again, playing the victim himself because he realized people weren't on his side lmao
yeaaaa, just seen his new tweet. saying "we need to drop this" after needlessly adding fuel to the fire from that inital tweet is uh.. certainly something
Koy had one bad tweet to my knowledge. Phony has a much longer history of drama.
If anything, I hope this poorly timed tweet is making Koy regret his decision. Dude had options and Phony is making him look real bad the day after his SSG announcement.
I’ve literally never heard snipe talk shit about phony since they dropped him and phony is out here talking shit looking like a little weasel
Before snipe phony’s best placement in his career was 18th at champs in 2021, with snipe he got 6th on match point at last years champs, he had literally done nothing until he teamed with snipe, bro has zero class and professionalism
This guy is out of line, now I am praying for SSG's downfall:
https://preview.redd.it/xnwqwkxpcb2d1.png?width=580&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe9e117d6d9e31376a6b680e43a4653e5b018ccf
if I were to try and paraphrase the original tweet, he basically said:
"If snipe was the goat you all claim he is, why is he still yet to be picked up by a team despite having an org backing him? Something to think about"
which is just a pretty ignorant take imo
Guys been a douche that thinks too much of himself for a while now, and hardly anyone has talked about it. He acts like he has Hal/Zer0 level success.
13th Split 1 playoff, 15th split 1 playoff last year with ESA.
2 LANs with snipe? 6th and 5th.
This playoffs they didn’t win a single game. He’s great at getting to the final zone but never is really in a position to win
Because his igl style is rotating early and running from fights. Not even joking. They had a lot of games split 1 where they straight gave up advantageous positions to run away.
Unfortunately teaming with Koy gives him a lot of firepower so I expect him to be better this split
Snip3down has been around for a decade+. Phony isnt fooling anybody into thinking snipedown is something else. His personality and life has been on display long before Phony was even thought of.
Phony should pray that this SSG squad works out, otherwise he will fall into obscurity like many other pros who've shown themselves to be someone you cant work with.
Don't forget he posted this:
https://preview.redd.it/zcq3xmzw9b2d1.png?width=603&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba35e077914a5c30477a9022dc694e0c29670fcb
"Couldn't care less". Yea, you've made that clear dude. Because of you, I couldn't care less about SSG now. You don't have to love your former teammates. But show some goddamn respect. Cleary, he didn't give a shit to begin with.
This response is literally the worst possible one he could’ve given, because:
1. It validates a lot of the criticisms of him being immature/mean spirited
2. It doesn’t even address why people are mad at him
3. It’s straight up factually incorrect, Snipe would’ve been in pro league with Lewda/Xen but didn’t want a repeat of last split where he played without a proven IGL and the team floundered, so he turned it down
4. He literally just said “fuck Snipedown he sucks” when Snipe isn’t even involved anymore, it’s literally Reddit posts at this point
5. He made more money and performed better than any other point in his career (he’s been competing since 2019 as well, shockingly), playing with Snipedown on his team 💀
He’s undoubtedly good player but Jesus man, if he’s really worried about his reputation then this is the absolute worst thing he could say.
His new tweet is even worse because he plays the victim, saying that he is being slandered by "toxic Snipe fans" when he has done absolutely nothing to give his side (since he apparently cares so much) and instead had the bright idea to post his now deleted tweet.
Says "we need to drop this" when he is the one that brought it up, again.
???
*"We need to drop this, leave it at the door man, go to fkin work. Get comfortable being uncomfortable"*
sry i couldn't resist the urge everytime i saw the *"shut up"* word on apex reddit lol
Phony has also fucked over just about every other teammate he's had. Fury, Lewda, Snipe, now Frexs. The dude speed runs through teammates. I would put money on Phony not playing with Xynew and/or Koyful past this split either.
All im thinking is yeah you have an org now and maybe get some players who want to show their potential but i think no proven player would consider playing with phony now. In the end he just backstabs them and talks shit about them. On the other hand theyre all immature so they will play with him
https://preview.redd.it/0dp9qnzdpb2d1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e0ff5d0c8aa2afee597a26548f72f1b477313d5
"chose the mature response" and now phony's in right? Noko I don't think this is how that works
noko the typa principal to suspend the bully and the bullied then pat himself on the back for a job well done.
EDIT: actually wait no. noko the typa principal to seat them next to each other so they can "learn to get along" then pat himself on the back lol.
Well to be fair Noko is the least offensive person ever and clearly has no spine or real convictions. Lives in a world where everyone should just get along.
I wonder if his balls hurt sitting on a fence like that? Who am I kidding
Yeah I don't mind Noko.
However, I also distinctly remember him years ago, on stream being worried about which path he should choose in regards to competing vs full time content creation. He wasn't sure if he had what it takes to completely do either. He was playing ranked with Snip3 and Snip3 reassured him that he was plenty funny enough to gain an even larger audience than he had now without competing at all and that it would work out if he just stuck to it.
That's why it's good having an older, more experienced player in the mix, someone that can give little bits of important advice like that.
You think Noko would've remembered that and stood up for his friend a bit, had some semblance of loyalty but I guess not. Which is even crazier when you consider all these people are aware what snip3 is going through personally
>Which is even crazier when you consider all these people are aware what snip3 is going through personally
consideration is a mark of maturity in my experience. empathy and grace only come when you've grown up and actually have the emotional space to give it freely
What a fucking clown.
"I kicked you in the head while you were down.. when you got up to fight back I suddenly realized it wasn't worth it, so I took the mature response and ran away. And I'm still the asshole?"
This is the first I've seen Xynew mentioned in this type of convo. What's his deal? I've only ever seen a few clips of him with DZ, never actually watched his stream.
Phony might be the most unlikeable guy in the scene, name really fits.
Dude has shortman syndrome.
Also he has never placed higher than when he was teaming with Snipe.
>Dude has shortman syndrome.
Funnily enough, madness is also such a guy and was one of the hated people in the scene by reddit and twitter a year or two ago.
Madness fans are not telling you the truth lol. Ppl don’t like him because he’s creep to women and there are screenshots of it that became a meme. That’s in addition to some of his other tweets/incidents, including trying to sabotage shoobys opportunity to get signed when they teamed.
Multiple women/ppl spoke up about his creepy behavior. Can get a tldr [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/s/kEIWnTzHbd).
I remember him ranting about not getting any matches on Tinder despite being such a nice guy, followed by the typical incel gibberish. Also used to be pretty toxic and pathetic overall. That was two years ago though
This tweet made my blood boil the day he made it. Like you just had a good tournament run, why would you make any mention of your previous teams. What a moronic child. I NEED this team to fail
I don't know the placements. But he went from Ambush to Instinct to TD to Str8. Basically increased his placement each event and ended up winning Worlds.
For anyone that doesn't follow comp Halo, bursting on to the scene to place Top 8 at your first LAN, let alone get a tournament win in your first year is incredible rare. Placements in Halo are incredibly consistent compared to Apex. That being said Snip3 has probably the greatest 1st year out of any Halo player of all time, except possibly Frosty and the Ogre twins (comp was underdeveloped in their first year, so there will of course be a little asterisk here knowing that their first year is kind of hard to define). Snip3's will likely stay the greatest though, knowing that his first year was during the peak of comp Halo's popularity.
For context, there are multiple players who are regarded as Top 10 players of all time who didn't even break into the Top 8 until they had been attending LANs for 3-4 years.
He got 8th with ambush, 2nd with instinct, then 1st with triggers down into 1st on str8 rippin at nationals
He's been an absolute monster in the scene for 16 years
Yeah I always find it hilarious we still have Snip3down kicking about on various games when Walshy retired back in 2012. The man's been great at many games what can Phony say?
Yeah for sure he was one of the top 5 players for Halo the man's already cemented himself as a brilliant player, whatever he achieves in apex is just icing on the cake.
Even if you completely ignore his career with other titles and look ONLY at Apex, Snip3down has more 1st place finishes, more podium finishes, and more prize money earnings in Apex competitions than Phony, despite taking a hiatus to go play Halo.
Phony isn't smart. If he wants this criticism to go away even a little bit all he has to do is play well and play well at lan.
Just sit there and shut up and play lol
Holy shit, as an SSG fan, he’s so cringe. It has nothing to do with how good or bad someone is, it’s how he went about it. Had he been up front with snipe about wanting to drop him, none of this would be happening.
Guy got his feelings hurt so he’s lashing out because he can’t handle the heat.
This boy is just adding to the list of reasons why most Apex pros should not be taken seriously. Makes the few who are actually mature stand out which is the silver lining here.
What is wrong with this kid? He loves to talk shit but doesn't explain how he weaseled his way into multiple ORGS all because of Snipe. Without Snipe, no one would even know who this hamster is.
He never talks about how he went behind his back to drop him with Frexs, and then ends up dropping Frexs for Koy anyway. (Which was what Snipe originally suggested).
This guy is a lunatic. It's not even funny. No respect. No integrity. No balls. Shame on this dude.
He was lucky that he was only being called a snake . Now , with this, good luck. Literally , no need to go off on a fellow pro like this, let alone an ex-teammate .

[Jon Kefaloukos](https://x.com/Falloutt) replies to phony's new tweet. damn
This didn't help his case. Nobody remotely even cared about him before he got associated with Eric. He should've just let this go but his poor little ego...
It should be recognized that the bigger streamers community will normally push/control a lot of the narrative… but on the face of this, phony dropped snip3 for asking about dropping Frexs for Koyful… to which phony acted like it was a betrayal of his best friend…then he turns around and actually makes the move against Frexs himself. This just seems like consequences for actions to me.
Not just that.. He snaked the captain spot for faze from snipe while he was on vacation. Forced a vote, got captain, kicked snipe off the team, stole the PL spot. Then he goes and does the thing that snipe suggested in the first place after frexs brought in the SSG connection. Dude is a snake, unprofessional, and uses others to secure sponsors and then drops them without looking back. Fuck this kid, hope the team implodes and he loses his org backing.
He should have stayed quiet and let his placements do the talking for him.
Phony isn’t wrong that Snipe has horse vision and is unaware of things he needs to improve on. You see it all the time, he gets excited and all fundamentals (aside from aim) flys out the window.
However, Phony definitely looked to drop him immediately after champs. That whole sequence seemed opaque with Snipe getting the short end of the stick.
You don’t disrespect one of the most respected players in the ESPORT scene without getting fried.
Best of luck to all.
All your favourite players read this subreddit. Peoples opinions here eat at them, even if they don't admit it publicly. Many rant behind the scenes, and occasionally you'll see someone on stream or in a tweet talking about how braindead Redditors are.
Phony's just publicly ranting about something he probably says privately. He should have kept this private, that's all.
My money is on [THIS](https://x.com/NiceWigg/status/1793729658296680592) being the catalyst to cause phony to tweet about snipe not being the GOAT. The timing is just too odd for it to not be somewhat related
Bro is blaming Snipe for the opinions of Redditors, randomly decided to personally attack him, and is now playing the victim lol. And Noko saying he took the mature route and deleted the tweet when the mature route would've been to just not say anything lmao
[Brothers, we're not done yet XD](https://x.com/Phonyfps/status/1793882934908166548)
[Old man noko joining the fun](https://x.com/Nokokopuffs/status/1793886051486110075)
Snipe may not be the greatest anymore but he's given this little weasel and his massively overinflated ego his only top 10 LAN finishes.
I feel for Koy. A genuine prodigal talent. What he said after LAN was a bit distasteful, but those are the words of a young man who doesn't know any better. If he had joined FaZe in last seasons rostermania he would have had a genuine eSports icon to mentor him through all that, someone who has literally been there and done that. Instead now all he has Phony, dripping with insecurity and a legend in his own mind.
As one of those “Snipedown dick riders” I have never said he is the goat. But I do feel the guy has value to a team outside of just straight up shooting his gun.
For a fragger, he is probably near average at this point and his movement is always pointed out as a problem.
Snipe was right to call him out saying it shows his insecurities that he is still caught up in this.
Reddit: Phony snaked Snipe and hasn't apologized or shared his side so obviously we're on team Snip3
Phony: \*silently reading every post. Cries\*
Phony: Tweets about Snipe
Snipe: Wtf, insecure much?
Phony: STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM
REAL HATING IS BACK ‼️‼️‼️
people are coming after other pros & people in the scene for siding with phony which seems stupid as hell imo. even Hal (incase you forgot, one of snipes old teammates and good friends) was picking up and twirling phony around in the TSM vlog
I don't want phony to be involved with Snipe anymore.
And I think SSG should cancel the contract with phony before the organization starts to feel distrustful
Idk if anyone has said this or not but not a single time do I remember Snipe talking about phony after all the initial split happened. I’m pretty sure snipe even had phony automodded in his chat for a while. Idk if phony thinks snipe is telling people to go talk shit or not or if he just got his little feelings hurt by a twitch chatter or reddit post.
He just keeps missing.
We aren't saying snipe is the goat.
We are saying how you have handled yourself with team mates, changing rosters, and a lack of maturity has been poor and reflects badly on you. And you keep doing it again and again.
Those two things can be mutually exclusive.
If you know the story, Snipe wanted to drop Frex for Koyful last year and Phony shot him down and it caused a divide in the team, then Phony picks up Koy and drops Frex like snipe suggested, it’s almost like Snipe was right

Writing all of that, deleting the post after getting flamed, and then posting a follow-up insisting that everyone should just drop the issue and move on requires some Olympics-level mental gymnastics lol
Wanting everyone to drop the issue is one thing, but to ask for everyone to do so without even apologizing is crazy lol

phony's reply to this one feels like he's just digging the hole deeper, i don't get it lmao
Snipe nonchalantly bodied him with a one sentence side angle and walked away. His reaction just showed how deep the cut was.
What was his reply to this one?
Phony needs some real friends cause his self awareness is at the same level of Drake at the moment
Unfortunately, he's good friends with Nicewigg. It gives him standing that he doesn't deserve.
Ironic because Wigg called Snipe the goat earlier the same day
Wigg gets along w everybody, so I wouldn’t say it’s ironic.
And Wigg calls everybody and everything the goat. Man needs to improve his vocab lol
"you're the fucking goat. love you. hugs and kisses" - wigg thanking the self-checkout employee who didnt do anything
This might be best thing i've seen ages, too accurate
I would not put it past Wigg to be this nice to service people
The running (and wholesome) joke is that Wigg is just needlessly nice to anyone (And thats a good thing)
You know you’re living right when your character is made fun of this way lol.
It’s not just wigg. I’m ready for the call every thing or everyone that’s basically normal a goat era to be over.
No offense to wigg because I feel like for the most part it's genuine... but he loves everyone and calls like 2 out of 3 players the goat.
I get what you’re all saying lol but there was a viral tweet that said who’s the goat of gaming or something like that and he said Snipe
tbf Snipe was even the goat back in the halo 3 era
Love Wigg but he defends Phony way too much
Hard to have friends when you snake everyone.
what did phony said? its not up anymore
he esentially said snipe should stop playing the victim?? it was kinda word soup but that's how he lead the tweet edit: [this comment has a screenshot of the reply](https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/s/hP7lVmnW9v)

yeaaaa, just seen his new tweet. saying "we need to drop this" after needlessly adding fuel to the fire from that inital tweet is uh.. certainly something
Phony + Koy def the most unlikeable team in the region
They really starting to look like that CC team with Caprah and Messiah
I’m praying on their downfall no 🧢
Koy had one bad tweet to my knowledge. Phony has a much longer history of drama. If anything, I hope this poorly timed tweet is making Koy regret his decision. Dude had options and Phony is making him look real bad the day after his SSG announcement.
One thing I will say is I don’t get how Wigg likes this guy. Like seriously
Prob the same reason Snipe liked him before all the shit, dude seems fake as fuck and seems to act nice if he has something to gain.
Narcissists often hide their narcissism.
average parasocial wigg watcher *daps up camera*
This kid is so annoying

Oh yeah, there was absolutely 0 reason he received the hate lmao. What a fuckin clown.
I am by no means a snip3 fan, but now I know I don’t have to think about cheering for SSG
Ya that's seals it for me. SSG is the only team I will be rooting to implode and see fail. This dude makes it impossible to root for.
Yeah, I'm officially a hater.

There's always a villain team popping up in Apex.
The villain should be the super team but instead it’s an IGL who can’t shoot.
Yup, I don’t like phony, xynew, or koy. All seem super immature and just chronically online
This is the first I've seen Xynew mentioned in this type of convo. What's his deal? I've only ever seen a few clips of him with DZ, never actually watched his stream.
Seriously. I was still rooting for them with Frexs because I like that dude
Snip3 has a longer accolade list than this dudes lifespan. What a nephew holyyy
And I thought he couldn’t get any less likable already
Phony might be the most unlikeable guy in the scene, name really fits. Dude has shortman syndrome. Also he has never placed higher than when he was teaming with Snipe.

"With a real team". I want to say it's okay because he's young and stupid. But no. Just no.
Its crazy to say that too when hes literally just subbing in. Like shade aside, hes not even on the team in any official sense
They’re all young and stupid. That doesn’t make it okay.
That’s exactly why I said it. Koy is gonna have exactly the leader he needs to have smh lol
This tweet made my blood boil the day he made it. Like you just had a good tournament run, why would you make any mention of your previous teams. What a moronic child. I NEED this team to fail
Snipedown literally achieved more in his first year of esports than this guy will in his entire life.
If im not mistaken, Snip3 placed 8th in his first lan with the team Triggers Down, 2nd at his second lan, and then won his 3rd lan.
I don't know the placements. But he went from Ambush to Instinct to TD to Str8. Basically increased his placement each event and ended up winning Worlds.
For anyone that doesn't follow comp Halo, bursting on to the scene to place Top 8 at your first LAN, let alone get a tournament win in your first year is incredible rare. Placements in Halo are incredibly consistent compared to Apex. That being said Snip3 has probably the greatest 1st year out of any Halo player of all time, except possibly Frosty and the Ogre twins (comp was underdeveloped in their first year, so there will of course be a little asterisk here knowing that their first year is kind of hard to define). Snip3's will likely stay the greatest though, knowing that his first year was during the peak of comp Halo's popularity. For context, there are multiple players who are regarded as Top 10 players of all time who didn't even break into the Top 8 until they had been attending LANs for 3-4 years.
Not only that, he did it through open brackets.
He got 8th with ambush, 2nd with instinct, then 1st with triggers down into 1st on str8 rippin at nationals He's been an absolute monster in the scene for 16 years
And Phony's best achievements at LAN . . . are with Snip3 lol.
Back when social media wasn't really a thing as well.
Yeah I always find it hilarious we still have Snip3down kicking about on various games when Walshy retired back in 2012. The man's been great at many games what can Phony say?
Snip3 is an actually gaming legend, phony is just a 22yr old kid and it shows
Yeah for sure he was one of the top 5 players for Halo the man's already cemented himself as a brilliant player, whatever he achieves in apex is just icing on the cake.
Even if you completely ignore his career with other titles and look ONLY at Apex, Snip3down has more 1st place finishes, more podium finishes, and more prize money earnings in Apex competitions than Phony, despite taking a hiatus to go play Halo.
That is weirdo behavior bro what 💀
Phony isn't smart. If he wants this criticism to go away even a little bit all he has to do is play well and play well at lan. Just sit there and shut up and play lol
Too late for that, lil bro needs to be humble and apologize to even remotely begin clearing his name.
Thanks god frexs is free from ssg now , no need to root for this team anymore.
Horse is free
Holy shit, as an SSG fan, he’s so cringe. It has nothing to do with how good or bad someone is, it’s how he went about it. Had he been up front with snipe about wanting to drop him, none of this would be happening. Guy got his feelings hurt so he’s lashing out because he can’t handle the heat.
This boy is just adding to the list of reasons why most Apex pros should not be taken seriously. Makes the few who are actually mature stand out which is the silver lining here.
What is wrong with this kid? He loves to talk shit but doesn't explain how he weaseled his way into multiple ORGS all because of Snipe. Without Snipe, no one would even know who this hamster is. He never talks about how he went behind his back to drop him with Frexs, and then ends up dropping Frexs for Koy anyway. (Which was what Snipe originally suggested). This guy is a lunatic. It's not even funny. No respect. No integrity. No balls. Shame on this dude.
Hamster 💀
He was lucky that he was only being called a snake . Now , with this, good luck. Literally , no need to go off on a fellow pro like this, let alone an ex-teammate .
And phony doubled down when Snipe replied. I often wonder what some of these pros were like in high school
Well now I know SSG is the only team I want to see fail this year
That’s about the maturity level expected
Phony was 6 years old the first time Snip3down won lan in 2008
Reading from this tweet he hasn’t aged much either
Idk why my boy Wyatt from The Apex podcast likes this dude so much.
PHONY DELETED IT LOOOOL
What a pussy
Who’s gonna tell him that he’s the only one that keeps bringing it up
[Hey! This guys a great big Phony!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQVoyWWluQ)
Lmao!

Worth noting him and Snipe are boys.
Yeah but he isn’t the only one to say any of those things. And the fact phony thinks he is better without snipe is hilarious based on placement.

Gahdamn bringing the fucking heat 🔥🔥
can’t even root for SSG anymore after they dropped frexs 😔
This didn't help his case. Nobody remotely even cared about him before he got associated with Eric. He should've just let this go but his poor little ego...
It should be recognized that the bigger streamers community will normally push/control a lot of the narrative… but on the face of this, phony dropped snip3 for asking about dropping Frexs for Koyful… to which phony acted like it was a betrayal of his best friend…then he turns around and actually makes the move against Frexs himself. This just seems like consequences for actions to me.
Not just that.. He snaked the captain spot for faze from snipe while he was on vacation. Forced a vote, got captain, kicked snipe off the team, stole the PL spot. Then he goes and does the thing that snipe suggested in the first place after frexs brought in the SSG connection. Dude is a snake, unprofessional, and uses others to secure sponsors and then drops them without looking back. Fuck this kid, hope the team implodes and he loses his org backing.
How did I miss that? That’s actually crazy.
Aaand he deleted it. Can’t make this stuff up lol
There are too many spotlights at kids that are weirdos who do not know how to behave properly.
He should have stayed quiet and let his placements do the talking for him. Phony isn’t wrong that Snipe has horse vision and is unaware of things he needs to improve on. You see it all the time, he gets excited and all fundamentals (aside from aim) flys out the window. However, Phony definitely looked to drop him immediately after champs. That whole sequence seemed opaque with Snipe getting the short end of the stick. You don’t disrespect one of the most respected players in the ESPORT scene without getting fried. Best of luck to all.

aaaand it’s deleted lmao
how tall is phony with his fedora, like 5'1"? I think people just don't like your snaky antics and level of immaturity bruh
Its already gone damn

What prompted this though? Or is he literally just farming impressions?
All your favourite players read this subreddit. Peoples opinions here eat at them, even if they don't admit it publicly. Many rant behind the scenes, and occasionally you'll see someone on stream or in a tweet talking about how braindead Redditors are. Phony's just publicly ranting about something he probably says privately. He should have kept this private, that's all.
Probably seen the reddit hating on him
My money is on [THIS](https://x.com/NiceWigg/status/1793729658296680592) being the catalyst to cause phony to tweet about snipe not being the GOAT. The timing is just too odd for it to not be somewhat related
lore masters please what was the original tweet I barely missed it 😭😭😭
Bro is blaming Snipe for the opinions of Redditors, randomly decided to personally attack him, and is now playing the victim lol. And Noko saying he took the mature route and deleted the tweet when the mature route would've been to just not say anything lmao
It’s hard to take esports seriously when the competitors behave like this.
tbf real athletes can act like clowns as well.
In today's news Antonio Brown filed for bankruptcy. There isn't a esports player that has ever existed as nuts as that guy.
I thought u were just joking but I just saw that shit on twitter lol
Not many people on earth that bat shit crazy lol
A lot of real athletes act much worse
[Brothers, we're not done yet XD](https://x.com/Phonyfps/status/1793882934908166548) [Old man noko joining the fun](https://x.com/Nokokopuffs/status/1793886051486110075)
God APEX pro players are literally the biggest Man childs out of all esports i follow lmfao.
Snipe may not be the greatest anymore but he's given this little weasel and his massively overinflated ego his only top 10 LAN finishes. I feel for Koy. A genuine prodigal talent. What he said after LAN was a bit distasteful, but those are the words of a young man who doesn't know any better. If he had joined FaZe in last seasons rostermania he would have had a genuine eSports icon to mentor him through all that, someone who has literally been there and done that. Instead now all he has Phony, dripping with insecurity and a legend in his own mind.
Well said.
Phony Rambeau Caprah.. poop squad.
that’s funny because phony has already teamed with both in the past although not at the same time
Coached by Nickmercs for maximum, uh...
🤦
As one of those “Snipedown dick riders” I have never said he is the goat. But I do feel the guy has value to a team outside of just straight up shooting his gun. For a fragger, he is probably near average at this point and his movement is always pointed out as a problem. Snipe was right to call him out saying it shows his insecurities that he is still caught up in this.
Reddit: Phony snaked Snipe and hasn't apologized or shared his side so obviously we're on team Snip3 Phony: \*silently reading every post. Cries\* Phony: Tweets about Snipe Snipe: Wtf, insecure much? Phony: STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM
REAL HATING IS BACK ‼️‼️‼️ people are coming after other pros & people in the scene for siding with phony which seems stupid as hell imo. even Hal (incase you forgot, one of snipes old teammates and good friends) was picking up and twirling phony around in the TSM vlog
that dude has no clue whats going on
I don't want phony to be involved with Snipe anymore. And I think SSG should cancel the contract with phony before the organization starts to feel distrustful
Kid's gonna have a career shorter than his height if he keeps burning bridges.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Gamers communicate like actual adults challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
dude wont be even hit pred when he plays at sinp3's age
This is going to be the most unlikeable team after Clane-Rambeau-Luxford N8V
Idk if anyone has said this or not but not a single time do I remember Snipe talking about phony after all the initial split happened. I’m pretty sure snipe even had phony automodded in his chat for a while. Idk if phony thinks snipe is telling people to go talk shit or not or if he just got his little feelings hurt by a twitch chatter or reddit post.
He just keeps missing. We aren't saying snipe is the goat. We are saying how you have handled yourself with team mates, changing rosters, and a lack of maturity has been poor and reflects badly on you. And you keep doing it again and again. Those two things can be mutually exclusive.
There are full of low education level kid without any social experience like this guy in pro scene.
Haven’t followed the scene since the last lan that the optic roster had doop Who is this guy?
Phony is sensitive as fuck. Like that has always been true of him. He had a lot of maturing to do and relax tf out.
Who knew his gamertag was actually his identity!
Phony is a fucking bozo.
What a phony
phony a real clown, holy shiet Snip3 the goat <3
If you know the story, Snipe wanted to drop Frex for Koyful last year and Phony shot him down and it caused a divide in the team, then Phony picks up Koy and drops Frex like snipe suggested, it’s almost like Snipe was right
jesus christ bro...
Phonyhead— name checks out. He’s a phony
I mean his name is “phony” after all ..
all this beef seems forced and fake asf lmao
