The European LoL team Rogue has hired someone who runs a large Twitter account pretending to be Satan. But shortly after, their first “professional tweeter” s8n gets banned. The “League of Legends” team is now calling for his release.
What an action? On January 28, the Twitter account of the LoL team Rogue reported that they had hired their first “Pro Tweeter,” s8n (essentially Satan). It only cost a soul to hire him.
Apparently, they expected a boost on social media from this commitment: This pro tweeter has 2.3 million followers – the LoL team’s Twitter account only has 167,000.
Rogue is playing this year in the European LoL league LEC and has assembled a rather strong team.
Hiring a tweeter was something new, no team had done that before. While it is common for brands to collaborate with influencers, these are usually YouTubers, Twitch streamers, or Instagram models, not professional tweeters.
As a statement on why they hired him, the organization Rogue replied: “Why not?”
This is what S8n did as a pro tweeter: Subsequently, Rogue handed over the Twitter account to their new employee Satan, who then tweeted: “If you pick Yasuo, you land directly in hell.”
Allegedly, it was only planned for Satan to take over the account for one day, but they then wanted to “keep him longer.”
Because Satan is not evil, but just misunderstood.
Why was he banned by Twitter? Just a few days after s8n was signed by Rogue, Twitter banned his account with over 2.3 million followers. Allegedly, s8n broke Twitter rules.
A picture circulated that the account was banned for violating rules on “platform manipulation and spam.”
Some suspect that S8n was banned because he runs the secondary account “S8nspam.” This account is also banned.
It is currently unclear whether the Twitter ban for Satan is temporary or permanent.
The LoL team Rogue, however, is calling for action under the hashtag #FreeS8n for his release.
Satan is having fun on Twitter
What is this account doing? The Twitter account s8n (Satan) is a parody account of someone pretending to be the devil. He addresses his followers as “your sinner” and makes fun of the Christian faith.
For example, he tweeted: “Did you hold the hand of someone you weren’t married to? Welcome to hell!”
Occasionally, the devil also posts products through affiliate links, so he earns money when someone buys the product through the link.
According to an article by Onezero, a 26-year-old Brit is behind the account, who enjoys portraying Satan on Twitter. S8n apparently experienced a boom when Donald Trump was elected as US president. Satan then referred to Trump as his “chosen son.”
