Dota 2 Pro Ame Makes Personal Insults Towards Sccc, Sparks Backlash

There is a fine line between banter and insults, and Wang “Ame” Chunyu seems to have crossed that line recently. The Chinese Dota 2 player directed some personal insults towards former pro player Song “Sccc” Chun, sparking significant backlash.

Details about Ame’s comments

According to various sources on Bilibili and a Dota 2 Reddit thread, Ame, who plays for Xtreme Gaming, launched a verbal assault against Sccc. This included derogatory remarks about Sccc’s fans and personal attacks against Sccc himself. The context stems from Sccc being a retired Chinese soldier.

Ame’s comments extended to mocking Sccc’s stuttering, insulting his family, and making disrespectful remarks about Sccc’s mother. These insults are rumored to have stemmed from ranked matches where Sccc defeated Ame, leading to Ame’s outburst on his live stream.

Community Reaction to the Ame x Sccc Controversy

The Chinese Dota 2 community strongly disapproved of Ame’s behavior, particularly condemning his insults towards Sccc’s mother. Ame has been given the derogatory nickname “Ae” within the community, implying that he has no mother.

Speculations regarding Ame’s motivations, including jealousy and past in-game experiences, circulated. One theory suggests a previous match where Sccc’s unconventional gameplay caused a significant loss for Ame. However, this does not excuse Ame’s inappropriate comments.

Although the match in question occurred some time ago, dating back to when Ame was inactive in competitive Dota 2, the recent incident reignited the controversy.

Sccc’s Response To Ame’s Comments

Sccc, the International 2017 runner-up, publicly expressed his hurt over Ame’s remarks, emphasizing their inappropriateness. They had no personal acquaintance or confrontation prior to this incident. Sccc was particularly disappointed by the insults directed at his mother and fan base.

As of now, neither Ame nor Xtreme Gaming has issued a public statement or apology for the remarks. The incident has sparked discussions on the childish and inappropriate behavior displayed by Ame as a professional Dota 2 player. Professional players have a responsibility to conduct themselves appropriately in public, and such actions are deemed in poor taste.
