Player Charlie “MuTeX” Souma worked as a professional analyst for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Now a series of rants in his Twitch stream has led to his dismissal. His reaction to this dismissal is so absurd that the internet is amused by it.
Who is this? Charles “Mutex” Souma was recently engaged with Dallas Empire. He earned his money there as a reserve player and analyst, specializing in the CoD mode “Search and Destroy.”
However, he went off the rails in a Twitch stream and was subsequently fired. When discussing the defeat with a teammate, he used words like “retarded” and “autistic” – this was something Dallas Empire could not tolerate. They parted ways with him.
Good luck finding someone better than me
What is the internet laughing about? MuTex’s live reaction in the stream to this dismissal then went viral.
“Dallas, thank you very much for this chance. It really sucks that I couldn’t make you the best team in the world. Because honestly: Good luck finding someone better than me! I mean seriously… Damn good luck!
You will never find someone who is as valuable in Search and Destroy as I am and who has as much passion for Call of Duty as I do. I understand your position, but honestly: This is a huge loss for you! I won’t lie about that. You lost an important man.”

Why is the internet laughing? The statements come off as so grandiose and self-assured that they were picked up.
The eSports journalist Rod Breslau tweeted them, without mentioning the context, just to see the reactions. People then wondered if everything was okay with him because it sounds so crazy.
Player wavers between remorse and delusion
What happened next? The analyst Mutex seems to drift between regret for his actions and complete defiance after his dismissal.
His Twitter account fluctuates between wild insults, which have since been deleted, and expressions of remorse that he wants to make things right.
The CoD player “Ultra Methodz” portrays this contradictory behavior of the pro, who swings between delusion and deep remorse, in a parody.
It is widely agreed that Dallas Empire had no other choice but to part ways with MuTeX. A professional player who represents an organization must have self-control.
