1. Zotac apologize to Legend and all spectators for this incident. Larva's actions will not be tolerated.
2. Larva did not notify of the organizers of his actions, and his statement of "having the organizer's permission" is not true.
3. Larva will be banned from any Zotac Cups in the future, and all players with previous record of similar actions will not be invited.
4. Zotac expects Larva to apologize to Legend.

I doubt organizers thought there would be foot on keyboard level showmanship when they ok'd it lmao.
Noone thought larva would show his streaming style on tournement grand finals.
I think its more to Zotac having to save face now that theres public outrage in china, but its understandable. It was hilarious but damaging to company image if it went on unpunished due to the outrage. I doubt anyone would be surprised by this move.

as I'm sure Larva wouldn't come up with a lie, he must have asked SOMEONE about it

IMO, I think they let him showboat, but didn't expect THIS.
This was some next level showboating. Company has to save face and why would they risk damaging reputation over this?

Yeah but the VOD with the foot-on-table has over 9000 views (compared to an average of 800 views) so it got them mad exposure 
|
this is what larva apparently said:
this is pretty frustrating moment right now. I will explain few hours from now
Just look what country zotac is from and you will understand

Either Larva asked for permission, but no one of authority gave it to him anyways.
Or Zotac is trying to save face and blames Larva for all of it.
Or Larva didn't ask, which I doubt.

No matter which country Zotac is from. There is no defense for his unsportsmanlike behavior.

Larva smashing a chinese player while offracing + nuking, playing with his feet and laying down on his chair was bound to trigger many people. But man, this is so entertaining. i love Larva.

If it's some random Chinese player, sure. But this is one of the best Chinese Protoss players in BW and a legendary old school foreigner, dude deserves some respect.

I'm not a fan of BM of any form, even if one player is light years ahead of another, I got flack for sharing this opinion the other day too.
People who say it is him being a "showman" or something are wrong, most showing off has always been done out of or after the game and if it isn't people get hate for it. Also most "BM" or showmanship is because of one player calling out another ect.
In my opinion it's like a professional player going to a local league baseball game and batting backwards, or running around the bases backwards to show off. You can disagree with that comparison but it's not far off, it's disrespectful.
Just look what country zotac is from and you will understand
yikes, that's very rude to chinese people. But I'm not surprised with koreans these days when talking about other asian countries like china.
yikes. I'm so sorry legend.

I think that larva put on a great show! Really enjoyed the matches, and I'm glad that he made the games interesting. If legend didn't want to get wrecked so hard, don't compete- or get better. More publicity to broodwar is always better. Larva made the trending, front page on reddit. IMO starcraft needs a bigger community, and this is a great start.

Maybe Legend should get good instead of crying when someone destroys him
|
What about a kickstarter to hire some thugs to beat someone up during some BW broadcast? We could even get coverage in TV/press
