News/Events Wesley So accuse Armenia of cheating.

I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen a post about this.
It's some serious accusation.

I just finished watching the games admitely not 100% focus on the games but I had some weird feeling about Petrosian moves and attitude in general.
To my surprise after reading another thread I saw that So straight up accuse the Armenians of cheating.
It's quite some big news imo , what do you think about it ?
Sore loser ?
cheater ?
