I really enjoyed this Zotac cup. Larva was crazy doing all that shit. Loved the interviews the guys did as well as Larva did on his stream.

Such a great event to watch in general.

Btw maybe it's also a korea vs china rivalry thing going on here

I was wondering this as well, but this was really super disrespectful IMO, I think it was moreso b/c of China vs Korea than anything...

EDIT 1 : InControl looked super mad and it seemed pretty authentic, I can understand why if it was real. It was a really awesome cast, thanks for hosting it guys! Hope to see it again soon, I didn't realize that Larva was playing against all of the foreigners though? I thought it was just a showmatch between Legend and Larva lol, a given he'd win. =\

I laughed pretty damn hard when I saw his foot on the keyboard but it's sad such a fun tournament had to end on that note, and I feel bad it was using somebody else for comedy, especially a player as good as Lx, he did not deserve that. I hope he took it all in good humour, it's horrible to think of him essentially being brought out to be humiliated. Maybe it's a cultural thing, i dunno, I can very much see why incontrol was so pissed off.

It seemed like an anti-Chinese thing more than anything else. Larva seemed nice to all the other players besides Lx. Or maybe there's some other beef we don't know about. Wonder what the Korean community is saying about this.

I enjoyed the antics. It was a bit BM, but it brought some entertainment to what would have otherwise been a very boring match. If a Korean is going to play in a tournament with foreigners, they have to make it interesting somehow.

It's hard to imagine Lx being particularly upset about it. Maybe a bit sheepish, but I'd imagine he can understand and laugh with it.

Wowow Incontrol was so salty, he needs to cool down. After all he was joking around 2 days many hours non stop and he got offended by some moves (which are ten times better than his jokes).

I'm laughing at what I'm seeing, but Larva is being kind of a dick. Literally everyone knows that he's basically been given $10k for free by being invited to this event. Afaik, it's not like LX insulted Larva such that Larva feels he has to make some sort of statement. As a result, notwithstanding Larva's obvious personal enjoyment of the situation, I feel like his antics come across as more meanspirited than in good fun.

oh please, the skill gap is so big that larva felt this tournament was a joke to begin with. Not his fault he couldnt take anyone seriously. Seriously some players were d+ level and i am not even memeing

I respect Incontrol for showing his disapproval during the interview (and at times during the games), at least that is how I interpreted it. Like someone else wrote I don't think Larva had malicious intent, I just think he enjoys the attention and that he really thinks people like what he did. However, I think the display was over the top and really disrespectful.

I think Legend might have played worse after he noticed that he was getting BM'd this hard in the first game. I hope he is still happy with the money he earned from the tournament. After all, he finished second and beat out some pretty darn good players.

I mean, he was invited to a tournament where he was treated very well and basically being gifted prize money so I don't think it is too much to ask that he respect the event and its participants.

Imagine if FBH was invited instead of Larva. Imagine him doing that moves he did vs. Savior to Legend in front of him. Will you still say it's BM? C'mon, it's fucking ceremony, get over with it snowflakes.

Wow super disappointed in larva loved him in korea but mannn that was a real dick move. I mean your brought out for pretty much a free 10K at least dont be a complete dick about it. Hearing alot about it being an anti chinese thing reallly hope that isnt true because that would be some bullshit.

What fbh did to savior wasnt even close to this. Also he won the italian open and did his dance, it was funny.

I personally think it's okay. Look at nfl touch downs. Or goals on hockey where the whole team celebrating after a goal in front of enemy net, or when sports players just abuse their skill gab in a taunting way on live TV. It's just for fun. But. What I like is not always what you like*. So that is also true.

And he didn't do it vs. Legend on.purpose and there isn't any.Korea vs. China thing going on. Dude's just acting like McGregor. He made so many.puns on ASL (IIRC vs. Light, Shine, Effort) and in mid game he just standed up to perform ceremony on WEGL vs. Sea recently. This guy got balls to do it vs. anyone. He was even teasing FlaSh on group selection ceremony.

Dude there is a huge difference between doing a little boxing meme after a game and being a complete disrespectful ass during the finals of a tournament and you know it. And just because you do it all over the place doesnt make you less of an ass,

There is a huge difference in celebrating after a win or big score and openly taunting your opponent mid game.
