I think it’s that he was getting undeserved credit and popularity in that community for allegedly being one of the best players in the world. It would be shocking in general for any high level executive to be a leader in a video game, but especially him given all the companies he runs. So this bought him a lot of credibility, especially when he was live streaming. But it turned out he just paid someone to build up his characters to insane levels, which was very deceptive.
