You might want to test that again. /focus playername, just as the OP had typed, is invalid because playername is not treated as a target assignment.

Valid examples of selecting a target and setting the target as focus:

Code:
/focus [@playername]
or
Code:
/focus [target=playername]
or
Code:
/target playername
/focus
Invalid example

Code:
/focus playername
