On December 4, Beijing time, an angry scene occurred at the final of the Sotai Cup "StarCraft: Reset Version" International Invitational Tournament jointly organized by Blizzard Entertainment and ZOTAC In Los Angeles, USA: Larva, an anchor from South Korea, made various disrespectful moves to his opponents when he gained an advantage, and even "played the game with his feet", and his opponent was Legend Luo Xian, a former professional player in China and a former world champion.
Legend rose to fame by defeating South Korean superstar BoxeR at the first CKCG China-Korea Match in 2005, and has since won several national championships, winning the overall title of the second season of the PGL 2007 Interstellar League in 2007, and the first international championship won by a Chinese interstellar player. As the popularity of the starcraft 1 game decreased, there were fewer and fewer related events, and Luo Xian slowly faded out of people's sight and found jobs in other industries.
This competition was an entertainment exhibition match, and Luo Xian, who had retired for many years, was only invited to participate in the competition because of his love for the game, and he did not think that such a thing had happened. After the game, Luo Xian angrily sent a Weibo, and the famous game commentator @ Milk Poison also spoke out to comfort him, advising him not to get angry with the Korean Diaosi anchor.
ZOTAC Sotai expressed zero tolerance for this incident, tweeted an apology to Luo Xian, and then officially banned South Korean player Larva from participating in any event hosted by Sotai, and would not invite any professional or non-professional players with similar behavior to participate in the ZOTAC CUP Sotai Cup event, and finally Sotai officially hoped that Larva himself would publicly apologize to Luo Xian.
