The tweets by Pronax were first tweeted on August 23, where he accused his colleagues for inventing lies about him, which ultimately forced him into the mental hospital again. Pronax later tweeted again, claiming that the same thing happened 1 year ago. He even asked for a lawyer's assistance. He added that this is only happening because his own colleagues and family knew he was going to the police to file a complaint.

He also went on to claim that he suspects his colleagues were trying to exclude him from his seat on the company's board. "I have for a very long time suspected that my own colleagues have been trying to exclude me from the company, for 9 months I have been asking for my seat at the board, but gotten excuses thrown in my face," Pronax wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
While nothing is confirmed, his tweets were apparently sent from the hospital. After a two-hour interval, Pronax tweeted again, saying that he was now "out" and would soon share his story with everyone.

Some even speculated that Pronax could paranoid about the situation. He updated fans a day later, stating that though his night was "stressful", he is thankful for his "real" fans. CS:GO's veteran community also supported Pronax, hoping that he would get better soon.
Pronax has had a successful CSGO career, leading Fnatic to three championships. In 2016, he parted ways with Fnatic to start his own organization – GODSENT – where he played as an in-game leader. The organization stopped operating in 2018's summer. Last year, he managed GODSENT's CSGO team, which merged with The Final Tribe in September.
As Pronax was barely active, his tweet alarmed fans all the more. Following his breakdown on Twitter, GODSENT's co-founder tweeted about Pronax being given time off to work on his mental health. Pronax's family allowed them to tweet and have asked for privacy. He has been interacting with fans on Twitter after his last tweet, answering their questions about how a founder can be excluded from the company.
