Pro gamers relieve pressure by acting like a thug

Lim “Larva” Hong Gyu – gamer Starcraft: Remastered professional has just caused a wave of outrage after his extremely outrageous actions in the final of the tournament Zotac Cup Masters Showmatch. In game 2, after destroying an enemy headquarters, Larva put her foot on the keyboard, then used her toe to press the last keys.

Of course, while using his feet to work instead of his left hand, Larva’s right hand is still using the mouse to “control the troops”. In fact, his opponent had absolutely no chance to “turn the bet”, so no matter what he did, the victory still came to Larva. Such action is just a way to brag and tease the opponent.

Using the foot to press the key is not Larva’s first excessive action in this match. Before that, in the first game, Larva pulled a “worker bee” (worker unit of the Zerg tribe in Starcraft) away from the base and let it dance by clicking around. In a Starcraft game, in the early stages, every worker is an extremely valuable resource. Therefore, this act of Larva is similar to “accepting one-eyed opponents”, and it is extremely disparaging in the Starcraft community.

That’s not all Larva did in the final of the Zotac Cup Masters Showmatch. In the decisive 3rd game, Larva suddenly pretended to be tired, slouched down on a chair (an action that gamers often do when playing games for a long time and feeling tired), and controlled with both hands reaching out. distant. Even then, Larva even let go of the mouse and crossed her arms over her chest for a few seconds pretending to be asleep, having destroyed an opponent’s base.

​

In fact, this is not the first time Larva has bragged about such indecent actions. A few years ago, Larva was considered one of the most talented Zerg players in Starcraft: Remastered. However, Larva’s problem is that he can’t compete when under pressure, and is often “choked” (a term for a gamer who loses himself and plays badly), leading to failure. continuously in tournaments. Last September, Larva started dyeing her hair and beard red, and began to behave according to the image of her fan: Conor McGregor – UFC Champion. From that day on, Larva started to play better than ever.

​

At the present time, Larva no longer dyes her hair, but continues to behave like a thug in every tournament. That seemed like a way for Larva to relieve the pressure of competition, and it worked. In yesterday’s Zotac Cup Masters Showmatch, Larva lost only one game, and won the championship with a $10,000 prize. However, Larva’s rude behavior eventually led to him receiving the bitter fruit: Lim “Larva” Hong Gyu was “banned” from all Zotac tournaments from now on!
