But this is one of the best Chinese Protoss players in BW and a legendary old school foreigner, dude deserves some respect. You'd think one of the best players would be able to beat someone playing with their foot then, huh? | ||

What does amaze me is the level of vitriol we’re seeing in the defenses put forward for Larva by various people in this thread and elsewhere. The most common seems to be that Larva’s antics made the series more entertaining and that Lx would have lost anyways. Well, no shit? What’s that got to do with whether it was rude or insulting or offensive? Larva does these things on his stream all the time, but that’s a different context than doing it in a livecasted LAN showmatch where *everyone* knows he is the overwhelming favorite and where he has basically been given a free trip to the US to be handed a $10k check. Another is "maybe Lx should have won if he didn't like it" or "maybe Lx should get good instead of crying." Again...???? What's that got to do with whether it was insulting or rude? It seems incredibly difficult for some people to hold these two ideas in their mind simultaneously: that what Larva did was rude, but that they also found it entertaining. I guess the conclusion that follows--that you enjoyed something that many found to be meanspirited--is too much to admit? Therefore Larva was entirely justified and there is no issue whatsoever despite the objective fact that there seems to be a 50/50 split between that opinion and the opinion that it was rude and insulting? (and again--it doesn't need to be a split, because the two ideas can exist simultaneously). Come on. I honestly feel like if you can’t see this you’re either still a teenager who’s never had to interact in the adult world or you’re the kind of person who is completely socially oblivious and is a pain in the ass for those in your social orbit. | ||

Hmm I see TONS of americans doing just that here in korea. Ofc not only americans, but I rarely meet people from other countries, so I can't really know. Most people do not have much respect when they travel tbh. | ||

If a Norwegian player did this to a Swedish player then props to him, maybe I'd be angry, not just laugh at it but I can't see why it shouldn't be up to the players to play anyway they like. BW is more than just gameplay, also a mental game. Getting into your opponents head is also a part of it just like in boxing or Chess. I'm thinking it must be a cultural thing. Is it? How's the relationship between South Korea and China? How do the players feel about eachother? I know that Koreans take great pride in their nation etc. Same thing in China, Is that playing a big part here? | ||

Why Zotac invite Legend from China? It's not because of his skills, it's because of the huge China gaming market. After Larva's showtime, every people in China will be against Zotac for sure. Just like Chinese people against Korea Lemart. And Lemart goes bankruptcy. Let's see what will happen Larva just put Zotac in a shitty position right now. Nice Job! | ||

Second, as everyone said, Larva should get permission to do these things. Think about it, if Zach Galifianakis didn't communicate or inform those scripts(mostly insults) to his guest, will any guest attend the show Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis? Feet on the table is a terrible manner in Asian culture. It is a way to insult others by all means. Just like Legend says, Larva can use anything in-game to show off, like massing nuke. but feet? no. If you want to perform this kind of insulting to make the match entertain you should communicate with your opponent first. Zotac's CEO is a big fan of Starcraft in China and I am curious what he will do next. | ||

The game goes on a bit and Legend attacks again, this time Larva has 2 sunkens and enough lings, but it's still kinda 50\50 fight. When it becomes super fucking clear the attack has failed, Larva places his foot on the keyboard, presses A couple of times, presses S+D, end of game, end of story. The whole sequence: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/206578876?t=36m15s | ||
