everyone already kinda known about his unprofessionalism even back then. i think a couple of years ago before this zotac incident the chinese invited larva and a few other streamers (i think zero, piano as well) to stream in longzhu. not only did larva streamed on longzhu the least, larva is also the only one that didnt bother to interact with the chinese audience beyond a simple hi. never been invited beyond a couple of the earliest sino v korean games, since he always has a rude and dismissive attitude to the organizers and participants which attracts the ire of the chinese audience.

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

ahahaha XD

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.

Maybe it was Korea getting back at China for trying to claim Goguryeo as their own.

Hahaha Mann I didn't know he did other shit like crossing his hands and lying down too hahaha. It's ugly and unprofessional in a way, but it also goes to show the beauty of the game where such a large skill gap exists between the good players and even better players.

It also appears that he did it for "career advancement", and it worked out for him.

Dat pornhub video xD

I really think Larva's behavior is utterly repulsive, shameful and disgraceful. He acted like a buffoon,imo. It's sad in a way that some people have found it enjoyable to watch.
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.

LOL this was such a great "incident".

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.

I think Larva just belongs to that category of people to whom it would be unfair to judge them by your standard rules for public behavior, like you wouldn't do to a (good) comedian. He's like a mixture of clown and daredevil, and overall much more undisguised than most people who try hard to not offend or stick to safe-zones.

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...
