the foot thing is extremely unprofessional but also pretty much the best. it sucks cuz i like lx a lot but it's nice to have some spiciness in a 20-year-old game | ||

also i think the foreign scene has their own wondrous experience with him, when they try to invite him for that russian lan i presume? at least by now thanks to korean audience pressure+being a parent has made him more mature and mellowed...somewhat | ||

Never liked this dude. Bad vibes coming from him (childish/prickish). that ZOTAC and Russian LAN bs just made me dislike him even more | ||

There's no such thing as bad publicity (look at Kanye West), and being a dick is a fast way to become popular on the internet, so from a business standpoint it was probably a smart decision doing what he did. Sure, he might be banned from participating in future tournaments and locked out of its winnings, but he's made many more times that from his fans alone so it was overall a net gain. | ||

It also appears that he did it for "career advancement", and it worked out for him. Dat pornhub video xD On September 26 2019 20:45 SuGo wrote: "It was a 10k showmatch so I was trying pretty hard." -Larva as he is playing with his foot (~2:20 in video) LOL Exactly what I was thinking hahaha | ||

If I ever start finding unbecoming manners appealing and not the BW gameplay itself, I will surely know the time has come for me to quit the game altogether. | ||

There were two camps that formed after it, those who saw it as offensive/unprofessional and those who found it hilarious. And the best thing about the whole thing is that they were both right. Though hearing the Larva's perspective now, it's obvious he didn't mean any offense by it, so it's even easier to just laugh about it. | ||

You should not pin your opinion of him on that one indicent. He has shown great humor, in the sense of not taking himself too seriously, innumerable times. To me he almost seems to be void of any vanity. If you think he's a bad person or too freakish to be tolerated, compare him to Terror first... | ||
