Check our some of their parliamentary sessions for example. So does this not apply to people under the age of 25 or something? Progamers show so little emotion it's not even funny. How are they supposed to show emotion while playing a video game, do you want them to go I hate you outloud when someone DT drops them or cuss or what?

I would be much more scared to fight someone if I heard they played football than if I heard they did TKD.

Wow - I know all the Kespa referees. I wonder who it was o.O; (They're actually really nice people - especially the FPS Specialist referee who does Sudden Attack and Special Force.)

The reason for the "fight" was brought on because Inter.Ruin (Hite Sparkyz) had complained about the computer being laggy (slow), the referee said it was his fault and so nothing was done about it. The STX coach then got mad and that’s when they started to exchange words.
What the heck? Isn't the referee supposed to check the settings and stuff when these kind of stuff happens? What are they there for? Decorations? =.="
And that coach deserves a standing ovation for what he has done.

Huge muscle mass will always beat most any type of fighting based on form, unless the form fighting is simulated. Most football players can literally run you over.

I would not think nice people would sue for an extremely minor physical altercation, even if he is generally civil he must have an ego.

mma would be more practical

I was disappointed when I saw the headline, but after reading it through it seems like the STX coach did the right thing. Good to see a coach from an opposing team standing up for a player.

Wait, now the COACH is banned AND fined? KeSPA's a real stinking bunch.
Edit: 1 Million Won = USD759.0133
