Hungrybox’s moment is just so sad to me. It basically shows how he was viewed for a long time. Even when he won ppl still found a way to ruin his moment.
I really think part of why the Hbox hate got so heated was Leffen fanning the flames even after Hbox tried to settle whatever beef leffen had with Hbox. The "beef" was Leffen using Hbox hate for clout. he even got another player to basically lie on his stream about Hbox being a dick. Like Leffen has a whole history of feeding off controversy for PR. see: Leffen convincing a girl to lie about Zero when he rightfully got in trouble for being a sex pest to look like he was trying to show solidarity which while Zero did a lot of gross shit, lying about it just hurts the victims who need that platform.
Or using his twitch chat to go harass streamers who publicly disagree with him. I really think he's given a lot of toxic players a place to be low key toxic that's having a real negative effect on the community.
What bugs me the most (much like the zero thing with introducing doubt in victims stories for the chance to use it to seem like a good guy) he's still pretending he's changed and he doesn't toxic shit anymore. Leffen doing so could potentially hurt actual people who decide they don't wanna do toxic shit anymore because it just introduces doubt into the idea of people trying to redeem themselves. The only reason people don't call him out more is he has a mob of twitch followers who will go harass people who start stirring shit. HBox got bullied and I really feel a lot of that can be traced back to Leffen using his platform and bad feelings that already existed to try and ruin his public image.
@@ems6706 I watched zero with his ultimate when it first launched what happened to him
Like EmpLemon said: HungryBox IS smash melee
I would throw a crab at somebody who plays jigglypuff in Melee as well that character is cancer.
I love how the cs:go teams got together for the gentlemans agreement not to use the jumping exploit
How is that hungrybox moment funny?
Thats straight up bullying.
That moment hit my feels...
Thats not fair at all.
uhhh clearly you have 0 sense of humor unless its a pepe meme
Hbox got bullied for many years and this wasn't a fun moment for him at all.
hbox hate has died out lately, now the crab is part of his "lore" and i think he references it on his twitch sub notifications or something, so he's clearly recovered from that
also, ice poseidon's case is about robbery and he's still in the video
@@Tripskiii If you think making a grown man cry is funny. Congratulations.
@@Tripskiii Nah, that crab toss was lame as fuck.
IMO Hungrybox never deserved any of the hate he got, dude just enjoyed playing and wanted to show the world how good he truly was. The person who threw that crab is a sad soul and wanted a reaction out of him. IF that crab actually HIT HB then there would've be a mighty law suit headed that persons way. Rewatching that tournament makes me realize just how truly toxic people can be. I still think HB deserved a way better reaction, he crawled his way back up after losing. He never deserved a crustacean thrown at him :(
Facts
i heard alot that hbox is a big scumbag outside of the ring too from other smash players
This is what it means to be a pro in a toxic game. You will be toxic, your fans will be toxic, your opponents and their fans will be toxic. Just need to suck it up.
@Balakeh especially when it comes to hbox lol

Hard to believe most of the scandals happened in the last months. Seems effortless. Also most of these aren't ridiculous ;c. I at least expected word.exe in the list.
I mean it's kinda boring if they would only mention the good old scandals everyone already knows. I like that they use newer things to put on the list, it, in my opinion, seems less effortless than using the old things
@@simonherter5248 I bet you not everyone knows them, and also, if it doesn't have the best ones then it's not a top now is it. I get you, but I dont feel you man
@@feru1071 more people would of complained if they used old scandals most people were aware about. i myself am glad they brought some new ones to the list
@@feru1071 stop hating india
@@jivi1756 what made you think I do...??
Man, I click on any video showing Jarvis crying. I'm a horrible person, and I admit that.
nah you cant be a horrible person for laughing at someone who got caught scamming their fans. but if other people think so, then id be a horrible person too lmao
I gain life every time I see a pic of his crocodile tears
Zombs starting an international incident is so funny to me for some reason like man literally doesn't give a fuck about anything does he
i’m sorry but H-box getting the crab thrown at him is still not hilarious to me and it never will be
The tournament was in Maryland lol
@@-sbin i'll admit that part is a little hilarious
Yeah, no. That Hungry Box moment still isn't funny. You ever been hit with a crab? It hurts just stepping on their shell barefoot. Now imagine that crab is still partially frozen and almost hits you right in the eye in the midst of what should be your most victorious moment.
The pathetic, unloved excuse for a person who threw that crab is lucky they didn't actually hit HB because I guarantee that thing would've done way more damage than most of you seem to realize and they easily would've earned themselves an assault charge as a result.
found the unfunny guy
Don’t worry guys, I was the guy who asked
@@keptlost_lol Yes, because I or anyone needs this basic bitch's permission to post a comment on a UA-cam video.
Btw, you really need to work on the quality control of your gatekeeping. Been meaning to talk to you about that.
@@bondr991 because it fucking wasn't funny?
Found 2 unfunny guys
I'm pretty sure Zombs never shit talked about KRÜ's region so I don't see where the term "revenge" fits there
Bro how is iceposeidons scam anyway related to Esports? Am I missing something here
Lmao hahahaha, we probably missing key information
Passionate is a positive way to describe Death Threat.
I love how they say KRÜ is a Brazilian team. KRÜ is a team own by an argentinian, that has argentinian players and is base in Argentina. But because it plays in a Brazilian league because it's the biggest in south America, that makes KRÜ apparently a Brazilian team. With videos like this they only put focus to Brazil in the eSports scene. Plis start checking your facts and show yours viewrs that is more that they think.
4 CHILEAN PLAYERS and 1 Argentinian player , cmon dude, its basically a Chilean team
@@pablete99 Owning by a argentinian, its LATAM Team :)
"PliS sTarT cHeCkInG yOuR fAcTs"
They said "latin american" in the video, KRÜ has never played in a Brazilian league, and has more Chilean than Argentine players
@@thoth7858 Zombs was taking to Brazil(region) not LATAM, so them getting eliminated by KRU is the same as them getting eliminated by EU, APAC, KR, JP or any other region
The video makes them seem like they were somehow getting revenge against Zombs when they arent even part of the conversation
They dont play in the brazilian league and their player are mostly chileans
The Hungrybox moment is still definitely not "hilarious" in hindsight. I've been a melee fan for over a decade and the community was SERIOUSLY toxic to hbox for a long time. The poor guy was attacked for everything, win or lose.
One of my favourite esports athletes of all time in part due to rising above the hate.
Edit: its nice scrolling through comments and seeing the same sentiment. The crab throw is like an iconic moment in his history for standing up against that shit. He was straight up bullied for years and took it on the chin while still being one of the most emotional players in the game.
Maybe I’m just being over dramatic but I don’t really get how some douchebag throwing a crab at Hbox is hilarious - dudes just trying to compete and gets so much unnecessary hate. Imagine if that same thing happened to someone like S1mple or even a pro athlete - probably wouldn’t get the same reaction
Good video but I feel like ice Poseidon shouldn’t be on the list. Yeah he’s a big streamer but he’s not esports. Another thing you could add instead would be Maister going to check the settings and by doing that he accidentally turned in underdog boost
Love to see educated gamers here.
Helps our channel grow.
These are very low effort. Most of these happened recently and aren’t that big of a scandal
Well, I didnt know of most of them unless the cs ones and they arent really recent... So whatever.
I would be disappointed in how bad this list it, but it's the Score Esports. Even their "Netflix level" documentaries have fallen off
Zombs had a beef with Brazil specifically, not LATAM, so all the KRU clips are just really out of place...
Makes sense it's in the list though but c'mon you guys know better...
Showing an interview with xand and then only showing KRU clips lmao
IBP match fixing should be on here in my opinion. I remember when it happened and nobody could stop talking about it. Makes me feel old lol
Fr. That’s the first thing I thought about when I saw this video. Disappointed when it wasn’t number 1. At least put it in the video
Well.... Nothing can top the "Coach-Spector-Bug" in CS:GO! As WarOwl has said that it could through 3 years of pro CS:GO gameplay to trash!
Yeah that's the only instance of institutional cheating
wait... Brazil and Latam are 2 different regions according to Riot... each have their own classification tournament.
So Zomb bashing on Brazil have nothing to do with Kru that is part of latam region.
"Can't wait to beat your shit region again" Famous last word
The FGC pisses me off sometimes. Hbox did nothing to deserve that, and people like LowTierGod get away with literal bullying and hate speech.
idk much about hungrybox and that branch of esports but i feel for him. he worked hard to get where he was/is (idk) and then someone just shit on him for accomplishing something.
You can see afterwards his whole body is shaking. Also the Bs he had to put up with
But yeah smash community always loves to hate their pros
The dude's reaction to the crab was pretty reasonable.
You missed the Word.exe from forsaken. Absolutely hilarious. xD
LOOOOOOOOL I I DIDNT EXPECT ZOMBS TWEET TO BE ON HERE THAT MAKES THIS VIDEO SO MUCH BETTER LMAOOOOOOO
"... but now that we're a few years out, we can all admit this was kind of hilarious"
No? Not hilarious in the least?
Ice Poseidon has nothing to do with Esports.
On the whole Big situation, I was watching that major live, I remember the gentlemen's agreement, and then next match Big used the exact same bug again... It was pretty damn bad. And because it was a gentlemen's agreement no one could do jack about it.
I can only imagine what the guy who threw the crab looks like. I bet he was sitting there snickering like a loser too. What a coward.
me (seeing save the kids at #2): wait , there is something bigger than a pump and dump scheme
I am from slovenia the country where gaming paradise was hosted and damm they just ruined esports scene for whole country
zombs' tweet had such a snowball effect that it gave brazil a champions title and got him benched in favor of 2 brazilians
The faze one never gets old
“Revenge on the crab” 😂😂😂
Where is SOLO and his 322? I would say that could get place as he ended up with more than 50 deaths
Wasn't the zombs scandal against Brazil not LatAm which are 2 different reigns in Valorant
F0rsaken's brain: Ah sh!t, here we go again
The score esports legit makes the same video but different titles for some of these videos
love that apparently Tom Brady had enough for a round trip ticket to Philly, but didn't budget for Ubers/ a rental car, in which case prob not a motel room in case he's there a bit, or food. if I realized I was in that spot in Philly I'd be taking the subway to the event, or the bus. no way he wasn't lying.
can u please do "Top 10 Times When Karma Struck"
I still think that Hunden and all other coaches that exploited the bug should be permanently banned and prosecuted by law.. its kinda robbery if you think about it
i think you smoked too much crack
Nah that’s not good
well then the old virtus pro should also have been perma'd they literally did the same thing as ibp just not as popular
@@stylebreaks757 i mean the whole org's/coaches that did this not anyone specific
@@Tripskiii tens of thousands of dollars if not more are on the line in these matches lol
I still laugh at hungry box crab... Like, why a crab ...
All these nft scams and scandles putting a bad look in e-sports smh
I was waiting for the olof boost
That is the biggest problem wrt the coaching bug is that of course the entire orgs were in on it, there's no way. Of course the coaches needed to be punished, but it's not like this was a grand conspiracy by coaches lmao it's always management
gaming paradise wasn't on an island. It was on the coast of slovenia sadly. just thought i'd mention it if noone has yet, saw this vid today.
the "322" scandal so hilarious but and kinda big deal today some team making trading win for few bucks
I think you missed out the esport scandal in India where there was some guy using wall hacks, and called the exploit word.exe lol
You did Teeqo dirty by even mentioning his name or showing his face in this video after he’s already been completely cleared
Let alone being so unprofessional by showing that Destiny video, and what he accused, given even Coffe & Mutahar were clear about who was involved and who wasn’t
kru is a Argentina team not Brazilian fyi
That Hbox moment is kind of hilarious? It was never funny, and it still isn't.
Lol #8 with Furia ties in with #10.
Brazil's fault for blaming Sentinels for their loss when it's Furia's tech pause. Zombs sticking up for Shazham ended up making it worse made the whole thing so much funnier.
i dont think that clip of ice is from twitch since he is perm banned. i think its from pka not sure
You aren’t super wrong on that zombis one, but he was talking about Brazil specifically not LATAM, Kru come from LATAM north specifically and he was talking about Furia and Vikings who are both brazilian
latam north??? kru is an argentinean-Chilean team dude we're at very south lol
@@antcatt_ sorry, south, dont know why I said north, point still stands that theyre not brazilian
genuinely thought I said south lol
pay respects to the crab
Shit I like the new host!! Great work - Great jokes - Great analysis :)

what does have to do with esports
Funny on how in the Zombs matter, people are trying to point out the inaccuracy of KRU and Brazil not being the same rather than focussing on the point. Trying to steer the convo away, classic guilty behaviour. Zombs got what he deserved
The zombs brazil scandal was because he got so many death threats for winning
the zombs one was just funny
gaming paradise; for people who didn't learn from fyre festival
The people...HATE...the Ice Klone.
imagine if hungrybox just picked the crab up and used it in his celebration! shoulda played it off!!!
great content
Funny how upset the Brazil region gets at trash talk but they throw around death threats like it's nothing
im not a fan of Hbox, but damn is he good man. shame people shit on him just cause hes good.
How is there no info about NiP vs Anonymo Flashpoint incident :(((
so ugh what did number 9 have to do with esports...
sentinels is the best valorant villain org no cap. they make it more interest in fun to watch.
So much valorant… sooo the title from the video is perfect.
A charity with Rice Gum? People shouldve known that was a scam
Hungrybox should have pressed charges....
What's with the "alleged" ice Poseidon scam. He admitted to it, why add in the "alleged"
Covering legal bases shit video nonetheless
Dude literally made up a date, I'm done xd
How can you not look at a callendar xd
All I see is the Gouba Plush
I thought Zombs shit talked only Brazil, not whole Latin America
Will always be crazy LATAM got upset with zombs tweet but it’s okay for them to send death threats to others.
damn man i never saw the HungryBox shit. lowkey heartbreaking ngl lol. yall set it up like the dude was gonna embarrass himself. i do agree that the idea of someone throwing a crab on stage sounds funny but seeing how it actually went down really wasn't that funny. not triggered or nothing just didn't find it entertaining. maybe a still-shot of him holding it up, that was a little funny to look at lol. but the asshole that threw it kinda ruins it. its just a wee bit too disrespectful. its tasteless bm.
okay this is fucked up but what if he had a severe shellfish allergy and nearly died cause of this. imagine trying to explain that shit in court.
How is the IcePosiden one considered eSports
Why no Olaf boost?
ah yes ice posideon my favorite esports
The fact that hbox highlighted how hard he worked to win that match makes me wonder how tf ppl think that was funny
I was going to say that KRU is not a brazilian team, but Im pretty sure Zombs made reference to all South America, so its ok. Nice way to shut him up.
So you are talking about scandals and don’t even mention Life’s match fixing one which literally killed the greatest esport ever? After this StarCraft was never the same
Life was my fav player for a time too :(
That Yuumi figure
Bro yall rly missed a lot of bigger scandals
Hungrybox then went on to feature the carb throw in a song
Ah yes, the Ice Poseidon esports scandal
Anybody that has beef with Brazil has automatically my support
well all of this ain't as ridiculous as AHQ's Promise suicide attempt
I thought robodoping would have been on here
3 out of the first 5 are valorant? How is that actually even possible lol
shes a valorant hype duh
If throwing food at the end of a tournament and 600$ is making the list there should have been dota 2 chinese major or tournment where the internet was shit and people lost their keyboards and mouse
To be fair. Glitches should be aloud for use because it’s not the players fault that the game is broken.
Like bro stop whining and fix your game.
Scandalistan (The Land Of Scandalists) AKAKA WHAT COUNTRY IS IT?
Wait KRU is latam, not Brazilian
