What do you do when you get destroyed in an online game? Do you accept your loss graciously and use it as a learning experience to improve your own play style? Or do you complain by saying they have to be cheating, forcing their better to stream themselves playing to prove that their moves are the real deal?
Let’s just say that the reputation that online gamers have when it comes to being sore losers rings true in this case.
Gegury, a 17 year old Korean player who seemingly took the pro scene by storm after being an unknown in the competitive scene, rose to become the eighth best player in the world. Taking out pros who do this for a living didn’t sit well with ELTA and Strobe from Dizziness, two Korean players who promised that they would permanently quit the game if it turned out she wasn’t cheating. Watching her stream in action, it’s easy to see why Gegury is so dominant. Her movements and clicks are so fast as she racks up the kills with Zarya, to the point where I started getting dizzy while watching for too long.
Seemingly overwhelmed towards the end due to the stress these accusations have caused, the community has seemingly rallied around her as a show of support now that this non-controversy has been resolved. Hopefully, this real life D.Va will continue to enjoy the game, while others might want to think twice before dragging someone’s name through the mud. Oh, and as far as ELTA and Strobe go, they at least have SOME integrity, since the did indeed quit after being proven wrong.
