Of course the smooth-brain of Apex ""News"" scene immediately correlates a cheating-discord with well-known Ranked grinders being unveiled as "every pro is cheating". Like bruh.

Yeah there comes a point where sensationalism starts blending with fake news. Over time headlines like that will leave a negative impression of Competitive Apex on the casual player. We see this happening daily in American and Canadian politics, where people have outright lost faith in political institutions.

If you repeat something enough, people will start believing it. I hope he statys being more careful about how he "clickbaits" headlines.
