You don't have to be a FPS gamer to get a good butt-whooping after spouting trash talk.

They were just preparing for the next battle. Kind of hard to lose when your opponent can't use his keyboard.

No arrests? WTF?! What do their police do? They already know someone got felony status assaulted ...they know the people, but they don't go get them?


Wow, Canada really are full of French.

The kid was from "Eric Hamber Secondary". Eric Hamber isn't his name.

WTF does this have to do with this article exactly?

They said in the article the victim basically said it was a group of teens. How can the cops arrest someone if nobody can tell them who it was?

And don't spout off about getting IP addresses. Police need a warranty first, and then have to fight Blizzard's red tape to get IP addressses from Battle.net records. This all takes time.

It's no different then me taunting you in any sport. You don't take trash talk personally, especially if it's from the other team

I think the cop who made the statement was referring to Warcraft III as being online fiction. Not the trash talking part. I think the point was, "It's just a game. In real life, it doesn't really matter who is better at it."

 

[NuclearShadow]

Well at-least they didn't tea-bag him....

Herp Derp Stereotypes.
Vancouver is nowhere even close to Quebec. And if you associate the French Canadian population as being of the same baggage as the France French I suggest you spend a little more time learning about us. You'll see that despite the language we both speak we are very different.

In before massive downvotes.

teenagers nowadays don't understand reality from fiction anymore. It's all with the rise of the Teletubbies!
It's their fault I tell ya!

good to see a trash talker get beat up i support the kids the broke the other kids fingers

DOTA strikes again. DOTA and HoN probably have some of the worst communities out there, people hate on those games quite a bit.

DOTA = defense of the ancients
HoN = Heroes of Newerth (standalone dota clone)

 

[beans4you]

sounds like the asian mafia lol. BC = lots of asians and pot heads no offence, just clearing up stereotypes from a ontarians perspective.

 

[Pengle]

I go to that school

 

[master9716]

Nice !!! you talk crap because you feel safe behind the internet this is what happens 2 you . DONT TALK CRAP ON PPL UNLESS YOU WOULD OTHERWISE DO IT IN PERSON .

 

[Guest]

As far as I can see, this is a case of someone that hides behind their online persona and trash talks when they win, why can't people win with grace?
That is why I support real names being used online, if you have the guts to trash talk me then you should have the guts to say it to my face. I am sick of wussy little pips having power trips just because they are better at a game, but couldn't beat up a fly in real life.

 

[Benihana]

And Blizzard wanted to force RealID on everybody why?
"If there was RealID, he wouldn't have trash talked."
"Because of RealID, he got tracked and beat."

Now there's a circular argument that would ensue...

 

[mortifera142]

ROFL

 

[burnley14]

First of all, good for the police chief to finally not place the blame on games. Maybe he's a gamer himself . . .

Secondly, these kids beat him with batons? Batons? Sounds like they deserved to be made fun of.

I have found the DOTA crowd to be rather aggressive. More so in fact than those who play WC3 TFT. I gave up trying to learn it due to the constant trash talking to be honest. Seeing as the people in question appear to come from the same school I would imagine that there is more to it than simply a game of DOTA.

Nothing like a keyboard Rambo that likes to trash talk to spice up life. I find it kind of funny personally.
