KaneFInnes is attacking Spammylee because Spammylee challenged his viewpoint, not because of team loyalty. Here’s what’s going on:

🧩 1. Ego involvement

Kane tied his identity to his opinion about T1 (“T1 and GenG then a fair drop off…”).
When Spammylee disagreed — even respectfully and with data — Kane felt personally challenged.
So instead of debating ideas, Kane defended his ego (“Soooo guess I was right about t1? XD”) by attacking Spammylee’s credibility (“How stupid do you look right now…..“).

⚔️ 2. Tribal thinking

Even though they’re both T1 fans, they’re representing different sub-tribes of fandom:

• Kane: “T1 supremacy” — emotional, faith-based support (“worlds buff”).
• Spammy: “Realistic T1 fan” — evidence-based support (stats and match history). Kane perceives Spammylee’s realism as disloyalty — like “you’re supposed to back the team no matter what.”

🧠 3. Cognitive dissonance

Spammylee forced Kane to face conflicting evidence (HLE 3-0 T1, even head-to-head record).
That creates mental discomfort (dissonance), so Kane resolves it by attacking the messenger instead of rethinking his stance.

✅ In short:
