However, it was his teammate’s box that was squatted up.
FPS gamers have a time-honored “traditional action” – “Tea-bag”, which is squatting and taunting.
Players have always had a love-hate relationship with this behavior. After all, in the contest in the virtual world, the face-to-face mockery in the literal sense can maximize the sense of refreshment. You can switch positions, and nothing makes your blood pressure soar more than watching other players crouch over your “corpse” when you’re lying on the ground immobile.
And because of its unspeakable insult, Tea-bag’s action has been controversial. Recently, however, the rationality of this behavior has come to the fore in a more drastic way.
In a recent online Apex tournament hosted by esports agency Fate Legion, 8x Predator player Dilly quickly made a short tea-bag against a player’s box in the game, and then quickly jumped into battle.
The host watched the game from the first perspective of the players
Although it was very quick, Dilly’s action was discovered by the person in charge of the organizer’s live broadcast room. The spectators directly announced on the spot that Dilly and his team would be kicked out of the Fate Legion Championship and permanently disqualified.
With Dilly’s own exposure on social accounts, the discussion of this matter has continued to soar, and it has even attracted the attention of many KOLs. Most of the public opinion is biased towards the condemnation of the organizers of Fate Legion.
Similar precedents are not uncommon – in last year’s Riot’s “VALORANT” championship game, the officials asked players not to squat and mock at the opponent’s “corpse” in the game, nor to shoot deliberately, and try to respect each other as much as possible. Such a request is of course well understood, and many players also expressed their support. But even so, some people are not too happy about it. G2 club owner Carlos
Ocelote also tweeted directly for this, sternly refusing to abide by this rule, calling on players not to give up tradition.
It is not difficult to see that there has always been controversy over whether to ban squatting and mocking in professional e-sports competitions. But judging from the situation of Fate Legion’s game, the reason why everyone favors Dilly is not the rationality of the behavior itself.
First of all, Dilly said that Fate Legion officials did not write the ban on taunting into the rules at all. If such a situation occurs, then the official can completely warn the first behavior, and then improve the rules to require everyone to abide by it. If it occurs again, it is not too late to punish. However, the fact is that the manager immediately made the decision to “suspend the game” while watching the game.
In addition, the most puzzling thing for the players is that Dilly’s tea-bag mocking object is his teammate who just made a box.
Most people thought it was just a harmless joke, and Fate Legion’s exaggerated ban was issued, but instead also banned the “victim” of the taunting behavior.
As for the reason for banning the entire 8x Predator team, the official did not give a formal written reason. So far, only the reason of “destroying the spirit of sports” was mentioned by the manager in the live broadcast.
Dilly himself also said on social media that he would not accept this result, hoping that the official can give him an explanation.
However, although most people think that Fate Legion is suspected of overreacting, some people understand their decision and believe that the official intention is not bad, it is to spur players to stay away from insulting behavior and restrain themselves in sports like sports players. words and deeds in the game.
The discussion among netizens has not stopped, and the official Fate Legion has not given a reply after the players raised objections two days ago. The matter still seems to have not been resolved.
