“Nerd Raging” at E for All (warning: foul language) |

They say it’s just legend, but when a Nerd gets angry it is rumored that their adolescent rage has the power to level nations. After watching this video, I wouldn’t doubt it. While this really doesn’t constitute as news, I think a little light hearted comedy couldn’t hurt to bad. The film was recorded at this years E for All, and stars “Swarm” of Team SK gaming getting a little emotional at a WoW match. Don’t act like you haven’t been this kid at one point, I’ll be the first to admit I have thrown my controller in a “Nerd Rage” (I love that phrase). Then again, I didn’t do it in front of hundreds of people. At one point it looked like he might strike his teammate, or even throw his keyboard.
So kids, whenever a friend asks why isn’t gaming an olympic sport, you show them this video.

Did he actually say “No-one likes you!” at one point? Can’t be sure, but my 3 year old daughter says stuff like that. Riduculous!

That was indeed embarrasing. I’d pull my sposorship immediately unless the dude in white was thrown out.

My favorite part has to be the end, where he says “Just stop talking.” Classic.

oh boy, what an arse! It’s losers like that that can give gamers a bad image. I play people like this online sometimes and it really winds me up…well actually it doesn’t ‘cos that’s what they want, but still I just wish they’d shut up!

I do not condone a reaction like that, but the fact of the matter is they are professional gamers and they are very young. Its alot of pressure to be in a logic / reaction time battle against 3 other players where you rely on 2 other players so even if you do everything right someone else can mess it upfor you. That has to be extremly frustrating and he lets his emotions get the best of him. I laugh everytime i see this partly because the person he was yelling at “Serrienea” is one of the biggest assholes in E-Sports and deserved to get yelled at like that. To them Losing a match is like losing a football game. And don’t say its not the same because it is. Its a team sport cometing to win, with money and sponerships on the line
