Controversies
On July 19, 2019, Ryuga posted screenshots of Stroder and Bocchi using racial slurs in a private server on the platform Discord.[2] Stroder would later tweet hours later acknowledging his comments and apologizing for his usage of the slurs.[3] This incident resulted in Down B Collaborations rescinding Stroder's invitation to the Minnesota regional Overextend.[4]
His comments also resulted in his parting ways with his sponsor, Tuxedo Esports, on July 23, 2019.[5]
Trivia
- At 2GGC: West Side Saga, Stroder notably competed wearing a frog onesie. He wore it again for 2GGC: MkLeo Saga, only for doubles.
- Stroder is also an accomplished player in Rivals of Aether, being ranked #50 on the Season 3 Rankings
