Anaconda, Children, and Definitely: Kyle Souder < y@kyKy Would not be surprised if majority of players start completely closing themselves off from social media. OWL players have tried to make themselves so publically available only for fans to use it as an opportunity to shit on themm #blamekyky #firekyky #kykydie thats the meta rn 3/16/18, 02:58 profeeders: kunstpause: profeeders: kunstpause: tbh lol @ KyKy for using rando weird ass tags as if they had ever any traction or were used to target him en masse… One of them has about 5 posts in it, another has his as the only post… how about Dallas (the org, not the team) starts with showing at least a bare minimum of transparency instead of going on about who is or isn’t responsible for nothing.  the actual players are out there, each trying to take the most amount of blame, meanwhile their upper management clearly makes decisions even the coach disagrees with and said coach himself hasn’t understood that it is literally his job to shield his players by taking responsibility for their performance.  everything about their social media presence is a complete pr disaster tbh… Just to play devil’s advocate a little bit here, just because one of the hashtags aren’t a thing doesn’t mean there isn’t a real problem with players (and probably analysts) getting DMs like this. Jake had them spammed to him to the point where it had a big effect on his mentality (possibly gameplay) and Monte even was suggesting that OWL players shouldn’t have DMs open to fans. I don’t know that Kyky’s lack of death threat hashtag use makes his point that fans being toxic on social media a nonissue. As far as transparency within the org, I agree with you completely. Playing live action room escape games was a good start but they can do better to protect players. If you, as a player, can walk away from a match thinking a loss was entirely your fault there is something wrong with the infrastructure, not the players. This needs to be fixed 100%. You are definitely right about it being an issue. I am a bit overly annoyed at how KyKy is handling the entire thing and everything else around his team on social media but that shouldn’t distract from that issue indeed.The thing that bothers me is: the bulk of the hate is not even directed at him, but this tweet and his use of hashtags as a rhetoric device makes it look like he is making it all bout him. And this after he basically, instead of taking any responsibility as a coach, threw everyone else under the bus with his other comments over the past weeks.So yeah, the point about people treating players better on social media is definitely valid - but he is presenting it horribly imo.And yeah, on top of the whole general PR and communication issue from the org that seemed to have pissed me off extra hard.  You’re right, the delivery could have definitely been done better. I get that all teams are different and handle losses differently, but even teams like Mayhem (when they were losing) would go out with positivity and promises to work hard and do better AS A TEAM. Valla are also having issues within their team based on their reality show thing, and I don’t know if I agree with that much transparency (or at least that way of delivery) but they do handle losses as a team and not individuals. I don’t know who has the power to make changes like that for Dallas, or if Kyky has tried and failed or something, but things need to get fixed. I don’t think getting rid of him as a coach will fix anything when they’ve had so much instability lately, but without the transparency it’s hard to even see where along the line the issue is. I hope they can sort it out because they (individually) have the potential to show all these teams of children what’s what.
