***** if old, you *****

Click this video, it's probably NSFW

Your mental image of high-level eSports competition might be the stony faces and intense, silent concentration of two Korean StarCraft pros going at it - but, it turns out, it's not all like that at all.

[GraveRobberX]

Holy Shit!

@_@!

 

[jgminto]

They sound even more ridiculous than my 13-year old brother.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Couldn't even finish watching, what a bunch of frustrated little pricks.

 

[ido]

Expectations met.

 

[QaaQer]

umm, yeah...not a good argument against video games causing violence.

 

[Forkball]

The CoD, Dota, and CS communities should get together and build a house for Habitat for Humanity.

 

[Phonomezer]

LOL.

And that was only the Europeans!

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I think I'm going to be sick.

 

[DaBoss]

Wow...

 

[Bedlam]

Esports are the shit. Literally.

I have a hard time deciding what's worse/"better": this or Pokemon esportsmen flinging their own shit at each other.

 

[Sophia]

Everything I hate about competitive video games in one video. Fantastic.

 

[pieatorium]

ahahahaha that was entertaining

 

[ido]

I love how they all kept standing up in unison so they could say, "fuck you" to the other team from higher ground or something.

 

[Phonomezer]

Fat ginger turd needs a punch.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

What a bunch of knobends. Feel sorry for the quiet ones.

 

[Aostia]

Couldn't even finish watching, what a bunch of frustrated little pricks.

I agree. Is there on GAF someone that plays like this? I'm scared...

 

[CountAntonius]

Wrong fps.

[Leezard]

Wow, I had no idea other competitive video games were like this. I've only watched LoL esports for a longer amount of time, and that seems to be completely clear of this shit.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Now show US players but put them in their own rooms. The N-bomb usage would be staggering.

 

[childplease]

Did I hear Swahili ?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Have people not seen a fighting game tournament?

 

[DR2K]

Well at least most of these guys don't have access to real guns. . .

 

[Baloonatic]

Crikey, what horrible atmosphere that place must've had.

 

[Milchjon]

Amazing.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

We could use some of that passion in real sports like Football.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I agree. Is there on GAF someone that plays like this? I'm scared...

I have Raged a few times playing COD

It was more due to dumbass teammates than the other team

Like seriously, you let me get killed while I was Holding the Flag, just so you can grab it and score

FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

 

[usctrojan]

It even makes fgc hype look like Sunday mass. Ridiculous and sad.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

No real audience lol

 

[Gruso]

Holy actual fuck. Only made it half way through.

 

[Takamura-San]

How's is this any different that any competitive sport?

I would think that any audience for a football match would make these look like little angels.

 

[CorrisD]

So if E-Sports becomes a mainstream thing, CoD is really going to be the dudebro one with the douchey guys swearing at each other and getting in to drunk nerdy arm waving fights.

All in all that was pretty embarrassing, I might swear when playing online talking to friends but to act like this in person, no, that's just a little pathetic. It isn't even like it is the audience swearing and getting overly crazy.

 

[Spierek]

Everything I hate about competitive video games in one video. Fantastic.

My exact feelings. Watching this video made me plain sad.

 

[M.D]

GAF is so casual. These are the real hardcore gamers.

 

[NervousXtian]

I love how they all kept standing up in unison so they could say, "fuck you" to the other team from higher ground or something.

That was a compilation, not a straight take. What you were seeing was the end of a round.

Gamers shit talking is nothing new.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Titles wrong. Its clearly the Tourette's world championships.

 

[V_Arnold]

*hears a thoughtful monologue at the end of the video that could be a good starter for a lengthy discussion*

*It is not mentioned in GAF posts, bashing is more fun*

 

[CountAntonius]

Having come from CPL, SC, and the FGC I have never seen such an embarassing display.

 

[ShinobiFist]

I've been part of the FGC community for a very long time. And it has gotten better over time. But the N bombs are frequent as hell. Money matches are worst from what you saw in that vid.

 

[Tenki]

Dudebros in action.

 

[crimsondynamics]

Poor kids. Such a limited vocabulary!

Seriously though, it's people like these that give gaming a bad name. You don't see this kind of extreme behavior in other sports. You don't even see this kind of behavior in contact sports where there are wagers on the line!

Can you imagine these kids in a chess match?

Yeah, &@#* you, I just @!#* pwned your #&$@ pawn!

 

[ClosingADoor]

I wonder how representative a five minute montage of those reactions is for an event going on for two days...

And I think everyone on a LAN-party has done some shouting when they lose (or win).

 

[ido]

That was a compilation, not a straight take. What you were seeing was the end of a round.

Gamers shit talking is nothing new.

I figured as much, but it's still amusing.

I've been organizing tournaments for fighting games for over 5 years, and we never see shit this hilarious.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Wow, aim-assist no recoil shooties are serious.

 

[Nyx]

And this gentlemen....

Is why you should mute everybody when playing FPS games online.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

I could never imagine being so serious about an auto-aim shooter. How fucking embarrassing.

 

[luffeN]

So did anyone watch the video until the end? You guys never ever swear? Watch it till the end for the final words of the author and think about it.

 

[Dennis]

Making Europe proud!

 

[CoachKevin]

This is the worst example of society we have to offer that doesn't involve physical acts of violence and other human life atrocities.

Elite CoD players are an odd fucking breed.

 

[BBQMan]

Coming from a Pro PC gamer this is what happens when you support home consoles in the competitive scene. And its totally what they deserve.
