HungryBox furious after dead crab thrown at him following Smash Melee tournament L: BigHouse R: UnsplashSuper Smash Bros. Melee event threw a dead crab at him following his grand finals victory. Hungrybox was competing at Pound 2019, a tournament held at Laurel Park in Maryland, taking part in a Melee tournament, which remains one of the most popular fighting games in the world despite the fact that it was released back in 2001. While Hungrybox is one of the most successful Melee players in the world, his slow playstyle can often draw the ire of fans, while his outspoken nature has also been criticised by some in the Smash community. Fan throws crab at Hungrybox Following the conclusion of Hungrybox\u2019s grand finals victory against Joseph \u2018Mang0\u2019 Marquez, the tournament livestream showed a furious Hungrybox holding up a dead crab, turning his attention to the crowd in an attempt to find out who lobbed it at him. The incensed Team Liquid player questioned the crowd, shouting: \u201cWho threw this at me?\u201d while the casters at the event condemned the action, labelling it as \u201cnot ok\u201d and telling the culprit to \u201cshow some respect.\u201d A fan in attendance later uploaded a video of the incident, showing the crab whizz past Hungrybox\u2019s head just moments after the conclusion of his match against Mang0 and the subsequent handshake. Hungrybox can be seen quizzically looking around, before picking up the dead animal, with the clip cutting off just before he addressed those in attendance.

We will be perma banning the guy btw. Probably will not be releasing his name publicly but will be submitting it to other Tournament Organizers. We will make an official statement from the Pound Twitter sometime this week so everyone knows this was handled immediately. \u2014 Aposl @ Pound 2019 :right-facing_fist::left-facing_fist: (@VGBC_Aposl) April 22, 2019 Aposl confirmed that they would not be releasing the name of the attendee who threw the crab to the public at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
