A furry?
No, thanks.
This looks soo funnnnn… i wish I kept playing fighting games. I’m still nice though.. who wants to play!!!!?!?!?!? Lol
I really wanted Punk to win
5:32 Reaction to a KOF match, but KOF didn't get any screen love. It's quite a shame.
Who ever said video games dont pay was wrong.
Shoutout to CHON @4:20
Punk is awesome. Also Rick Fox owns echo Fox? That's wild lol
Thank you for this documentary. It was ablr to show to people that esports are a legimate sport and the community is made up of ver skilled athletes
Everybody has great skin wtf.
Nearly a year later SonicFox would further divide the gaming and lgbt community and shove his sexuality down everyone's throat
"you lost the big competition? Who too!"
"a furry"
walks away in sad
£1000 headphones…
wears them over his hat….
😂😂 that room would stink like anxiety, b.o and virginity
I really love the gaming pieces that you guys do because I get to watch what I seen before in a whole different perspective
No lie , I felt punks sadness
Crazy. I just watched Tokido’s run during this tourney and was rooting for him. Now seeing Punks side of the story and your kinda torn between the 2. Great vid none the less
ok but iS THAT ASA BUTTERFIELD 2:41
I think he's wrong about people in their mid 20s and after having finger tendon problems. The problem that might happen is because people don't stretch and exercise their hands and just stay healthy in general.
4:21 is that the dude from CHON?
"We are completely Grassroots." As he has Geico stamped on his shirt.
What the fuck do u mean he will be the first American , sonic fox is an american
Maybe I’m tweaking but they showcased punk w an arcade joystick a lot during the beginning, why was he using a controller for finals?
Tokido made an amazing comeback
Oh fuck Punk still uses the excellent adventures stick he got From Ross and gootecks??? No wonder he cried when he got it, shit means a lot
Smells like fish
I know a lot of people that have won every evo they have entered me for example every single evo I entered i didnt wake away with a loss so….
i loved this doc so inspiring makes me wanna compete at a high level
does the owner of echo fox play fighting games 😳
The world is going to shit
If I ever see a fuckikg furry in public I'll beat there ass senseless bite the curb type shit ya feel me weirdos
probably smells like shit
Watching a person that’s 10,000x better than me cry is making me question my skill
Awesome video, VICE. Thanks.
Sonic has the worst posture
Lol, punk makes the match look easy, Itabashi making it look like a life or death struggle. Atleast it is better than the shocked look Void gave in a recent smash bros ultimate tourny
It probably took the venue a few months to get rid of the body odor from all those gamers.
no m2k, no plup?
"If you're in your mid 20s, you can't keep up with the young guys."
C'mon, now…
This is dope
SHOUTOUT TO PUNK!!
It's a sport.
Outstanding. Great work guys. What a video!
Was that Rick Fox ?
NEEEERDS!!! 😆
whaaaaat SonicFox and Scar are just chillin together
And then Punk would leave Panda Global for Echo Fox the following year.
Punk is Danny browns EVO equivalent 😂 Respect.
fgc makes more money than ffps games
Why am i here i feel like a virgin again😩😧oh recommendation
I’m glad punk lost in grand final
