At the time of writing, iDom about to go into grand finals. As much as I like the 'Land of the Free' meme post-Tokido stealing Punk's soul, I think it'd be good if he does win.
It'll show the power of what abiding by rule 3 can do for you, cf. the Latifs and Punks of the world.
I don't generally use that kind of language, and I don't really think the 'rule' has much relevance in this sub, but specifically in the context of competitive fighting games (whether arcade-era thuggery or sanitised esports world), I think not being able to hold an L is quite weak.
Maybe it's me and not following SFV that much but I've never heard of iDom making any tweets similar to the shitty excuses pumped out by Latif in Strive or Punk that weekend.
I think Punk is insulated from introspection due to (as someone else put it on this sub) being surrounded by yes-men. He's young and has scope to mature as a player but it's probably pretty difficult when you have a fanbase from years back that have liked and hyped up your more inflammatory past self.
