While the country and City were in an uproar of excitement due to the conclusion of the opening Ceremonies and Cynrik's Interview, the online message boards were a storm of chaotic posts.
A large group of people chastised Cynrik for being cocky and way too confident in his abilities. Still, they were the vocal minority, and the massive wave of support swiftly suppressed their posts.
In practically no time, thousands of articles with images and quotes from Cynrik or MyrkLys were posted by reputable Media conglomerates. Many were poorly written tabloids looking to capitalize on the newsworthy story. But overall, some of the largest News Media companies were posting videos and articles and running news segments to garner attention.
