iFerg was hot onto the original Twitter post from Dignitas. He commented...

"I have won more tournaments in the last 5 years than your entire organization combined. The most relevant thing that has happened to you this decade has been this ratio."

Sonho is another professional gamer from TSM who is known for his plays in Apex Legends mobile. He also didn't like the tweet and commented

"I can’t remember asking + mobile gamers are real gamers + the easiest relationship of my life that I’ll remember for decades to come."
