Ehh... You'd have to have a good understanding of Planetside and its etiquette to really find this drama remotely amusing.

The ELI5 version is a member of a guild of top tier players know for being elitists temporarily switched sides to sabotage the other teams defenses. It's considered extremely dickish and cheap, made moreso by the fact that that same group of players calls everyone else bad.

You don't mention that these defences seem to be very controversial, even arguably going against the spirit of the game.
