i wonder if the reaction from the community would be the same if larva did this against draco or michael? seems like china gets riled up over anything and everything that embarrasses them.
To be fair, even if Larva had history of his showmanship with his taunting midgame vs Sea, his streaming antics, getting way laid back as tournement progressed, this was bit out of hand. It was really funny and drew tons of attention, but Larva stepped bit far here. He could have done some trollgame builds, but foot was bit too far.
It was bit obvious in hindsight that this was going to happen, since as the tournement progressed, Larva got loosened more and more. Casters reaffirmed this, and he commented last night on stream that "foreigner tournements seem to be very laid back".
Got to his head, drew viewers and controversy. His specialty

Didn't realize everyone would get so riled up from this.

As it tends to be when it involves Chinese/South Korean/Japanese. Its part of the culture to be more riled up than other people expect them to be. Its normal.

I didnt mind that he was having fun and I enjoyed his antics between games and enjoyed the terran games because he was still actually playing. But for me being an intentional ass to your opponent in the finals of a tournament just was a little far for me. I am all for having fun but that was just being a dick at at Legends expense

Legend's post on 12/1
上一次带键盘鼠标去打线下比赛是七年前在洛杉矶.明天还是这个地方.这次我想是真的最后一次了.因为以前我总是充满自信和憧憬.而这一次我却感觉自己一点兴趣都没有.每个年龄都有自己喜欢的东西.我回不到那个职业选手的时代.那却是我最美好的时光.所以我也要珍惜现在的每一天.
I will try to translate:
My last bw offline match was in LA 7 yrs ago. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/WCG_2010
The same place, tomorrow, I think it's truly the very Last time for me.
Because I was always confident and looking forward to match before. But I am not that interested this time. I like different things at different age. I can't go back to the era as pro. It was my best time. So I will seize every day now.

Sucks that his last real game went like that

I enjoy the showmanship but I do think Larva may have gone a little over the top with it to be honest. If I was in Legend's shoes I would be mad as hell too.

**Larva's Official Statement on his Stream page**
Title: To people trying to sturr up trouble from today's final behaviors ^^
I asked ahead of time with the organizers if I could do it or not and they said I could
If you are offended, you don't have to watch ^_^
The present reaction was resolved and everyone took pictures and they said it was cool
Don't worry ^^
If he and legend are ok then thats good. It was still shitty but glad he talked to him

Nothing triggers the Chinese more than Taiwan though

Why throw punches when the fight is over. It is easy to be bold after the event.

I assume he didnt want to make a scene at the tournament he was flown out to take part in. Common courtesy

Who the fuck is Incontrol so Larva should ask permission? Was he around when BW was dying and all those pros were teamless participating, streaming 24/7 to live? No! I'm just gonna put it right here:

The whole thing was even called "Showmatch". From Liquipedia: "Zotac Cup Masters Showmatch is an offline tournament which is sponsored and hosted by Zotac." He wasn't a part of main tournament. Legend, Draco and Larva got paid basically just for arriving there and grabbing some attention from viewers. It wasn't some championship fight, like what the fuck guys. It was showmatch, meant to get attention. Therefore Larva put up a show. You should really chill. What was Larva supposed to do? Get in there, end whole thing in 45 minutes and go home just like that? People would cry about another Korean owning foreigners. This event turned out much better than I expected, he dropped a game to Draco in the beginning and he made finals interesting.
I am 100% sure he asked organizers if they are ok with this, and they most likely agreed because they wanted this showmatch to be as popular as possible. I understand that Legend might feel disrespected but come on. Like I said he wasn't fighting for championship, he isn't full time player unlike Larva (correct me if I am wrong), and got paid a lot of money for being a part of showmatch. Did he really treat this final like ASL finals?

really? is this foot called beyond the game?
Shame on e-game.......

so you said it is called Showmatch.I agree. but is is not a Footshow.
Legend is not a full-time player now,but he used to be a SKT1 pro.
Larva may nuke or face-hatch in the game,It is okey. Because it is a showmatch.
But using foot?it is too much.
