I was just generally surprised to be honest, i mean i know people online receive abuse, that is to be expected but i just wasn't expecting some people to take it to these extremes. I get annoyed when i lose, of course i do, i even quietly usher abuse to myself for playing poorly, but i would never wish death on others. If i lose then it's simply a matter of me playing poorly and not being good enough and it's up to me to improve myself and fix that.When you play anything that focuses on 1v1, however, you remove that emotional security barrier and some people completely lose their shit. People like to think they are more special than they actually are, and when they find out they are not, they... simply put, can't handle it.
This is one such person who cannot emotionally handle the idea that he is not special in the way he wants to be. A violent rejection of that idea is the only course left to him. For us, however, it's just funny.
Hey, you're a tournament player aren't you? Do you ever encounter behavior such as this yourself at any offline scenes at all? What i mean is, do you ever see heated discussions or bad tempered players after narrow losses or something like that? Or is everyone usually in good player spirit at the events?
Just curious, thanks
