I'm surprised you didn't add the other nerd rage video. It was posted in a thread a while back. The number 2 team in WoW lost in the finals. He gets up, breaks his headphones. Starts nerd punching curtains. The worst part was he broke his headphones on a laptop. The laptop had a crack dent in it. I'll find the video and edit my post.

What is it about video games that makes people rage? It's really weird imo, because whenever I play sport and lose I never really feel it's that big of a deal, but when I am getting owned at games I get really frustrated and rage hard. I never rage when playing sc though, mostly tf2 and CS1.6. Single player games when they're brokenly hard (not awesome hard like ninja gaiden and trauma centre) really give me the shits too.

The second video of the guy getting up, throwing his headphones and punching the curtain etc is really not that bad. once he calms down he seems to be a decent guy.
Hell, I think I've had worse outbursts myself when coming 4th place in athletics competitions.
Hurts so much especially if you know you could have won it on a regular day, but just messed up.
Then again, in perspective, it always looks funny with people raging over computer games - but I think everyone on this site can agree on that games have left the actual "games" status and are now actually legitimate sports = emotions allowed.

lol...that's just funny...like comical...like unreal. I totally thought the OP video was fake after a while...like it was too much...haha.

When it first started, I didn't think they were speaking english either...ahahaha.

I get mad in SC too when I lose games I think I should've won, or if I get cheesed real bad and fuck up as a result...but I mean...I just tell myself I'll learn something from it, smoke a cigarette and calm the fuck down...

all-out raging is just retarded...especially when you're a sponsored team.

It's all staged to give people some (any) reason to care about competitive WoW.

Heh, i remember when this happened. Was about a year ago

firstly these are wow players and this is real, the guys in the backround are CS players.

The asain guy on the far left is Serrennia, he is probably one the most famous wow players. He is known for extreme nerd rage, and being one of the top WoW arena players, he got famous playing his warrior making the highest rated druid/warrior team in the world(apart from koreans, and being #1 in 2v2/3v3/5v5 at the same time. But he was also famous for nerd raging after every arena match, ( i've actaully played warrior/druid with him before and the nerd rage over vent was hilarious, i wish i recorded it.)

The kid who is nerd raging in the video is Swarm, he was slightly e-famous before this video for playing a priest at high level, but this video really made him the laughing stock of the WoW pvp community- and i dont think hes been able to find anyone to play with him in high end arena since. I think he also stopped getting sponsored and got kicked off the team after this happened.

When this happened people started to respect Serrenia alot more because of the way he handled this situation, and he also doesnt nerd rage that much anymore, i think.

Anyway i guess the reason these nerds nerd rage is because there is alot of money on the line.10,000$ i think? And alot of pressure involved.

Any way, when you get nerdy wow players to fight over big amounts of money, quality entertainment is ensured.

^^- This one is a hilarious remix of the wigga wow player inactive.

Basically in a 3v3 arena the way you kill someone (back then) was to "switch-burn" Basically you put all your DPS on one of the opponents and then very quickly switch to try to surprise the healer.

Well, it requires good coordination to do that or you could lose and that's what happened. Swarm told one of his teammates to switch and they didn't. Queue rage at losing.

Yeah that second video wasnt that bad.
Theres a lot of money on the line and its frustrating to lose especially if you fucked over your own team by making some mistakes.

When I played wow, we were competing in the top of the 3v3 in a not-so-good battleground, but we never ever raged at each other. I played with a guy from sweden and one from italy, which makes it even more remarkable...ah, best days of wow.
We ended at #4 in season 1 :-( so close to #1, but met a really low rated team and lost 26 rating points :-/
