Perhaps the old hat jokes about Koreans being the best at <em>Starcraft<\/em> and <em>Counterstrike<\/em> can take the backseat to something that I\u2019m actually interested in like <em>League<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Anyway, I came across more information about the tournament about how in the finals of this tournament, the Koreans not just beat the Chinese team, but absolutely <strong>owned<\/strong> them. 2-0 in a best of three, and it apparently wasn\u2019t even close. Since I\u2019m familiar enough with the game mechanics to understand what I\u2019d be watching, I took some time to watch the deciding game just to see for myself just how badly Korea whooped up on the Chinese, because I\u2019m sadistic and petty like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s worth mentioning that this entire tournament took place in Shanghai, so 99% of the people in attendance were Chinese and were very much backing and in support of the Chinese team. They would stereotypically ooh and ahh over the littlest things that the Chinese team would do, from simply selecting a champion, locking in, to even littler things like taking a step towards an opponent or even placing a ward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">And this is what made everything that much sweeter in the end when the Koreans <strong>gg easy<\/strong> destroyed the Chinese team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">In a national display of poor sportsmanship, the entire crowd was dead silent and were practically sitting on their hands as the Koreans rose from their machines and gave each other a few modestly celebratory fives. There was no applause anywhere, and the brief camera panning of the crowd showed hundreds of butt-hurt Chinks disappointed at watching their native team getting roughshod on their home soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Typically in these events, win or lose, both parties tend to meet at center stage for the post-match good-game handshakes, but as the Koreans emerged onto the stage, the Chinese losers were all sitting at their machines, probably fuming over how badly they had just gotten owned. The Koreans clearly taking the high road and not wanting to be left hanging, took the initiative to go to Loserville and get some lame-duck handshakes from the residents. But the best was the Chinese top-laner, who was the penultimate stereotypical teenage Chinese gamer kid; chubby, glasses, Commie buzzcut, who was clearly the most butt-hurt over the loss (mostly because he fed the Koreans like his name were \u201cIl-Mee\u201d), and gave one handshake, and even when the opposing Korean top-laner tried to give him a friendly bro-hug, completely disrespected him and bent over to pretend to tie his shoe or something, but probably to hide his tears of shame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Doesn\u2019t matter. I ain\u2019t mad, but I also ain\u2019t surprised. Typical Chinese arrogance at expecting nothing but victory, but acting like a bunch of asshole losers when it doesn\u2019t go their way. It\u2019s fine though, because if it were up to me, I wouldn\u2019t have this any other way. I love winning on hostile territory, and being underestimated. It makes every victory sweeter when not only the opponent is disappointed, but everyone there who was rooting for them too.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(video set to play at sweet ending) I know that I\u2019m really critical when it comes to the topic of eSports and \u201cprofessional\u201d online gaming, but when I read on some LoL site about how the Koreans at a recent LoL tournament went all Hulkamania and annihilated all of the competition, I still felt that &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/totfc.net\/?p=36178\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Chinese being sore losers?
