PewDiePie Reacts to Cringey Esports Moments \u2013 Ft. Nadeshot, Crimsix, Seagull, Pala and More PewDiePie has delved into the world esports interviews and handshakes \u2013 where there is no shortage of awkward encounters, reacting to the most cringeworthy moments competitive gaming has to offer. Esports is one of the fastest growing entertainment industries in the world currently, as it pits the best competitive gamers against one in other for massive and always increasing prize pools and acclaim. But, along with the fascinating entertainment and competitive atmosphere, esports has always had its own quirks, which in many ways have likely aided in its success, but are funny to react to nonetheless. PewDiePie\u2019s cringe compilations from the E3 gaming convention are some of his most popular videos, so he has turned to esports next, finding some of the most infamous \u2018hand-shake\u2019 moments from down the years. He is also himself known to have less than competent hand shaking ability himself, as he admits in the video, but nothing is quite as bad as handshakes in esports. My favorite thing about esports, isn\u2019t how good they are at video games, it\u2019s how bad they are at human interactions, because they\u2019re always forced to put that on the test as well. Any time they go against each other, they have to finish off with some form of human interaction \u2013 whether it\u2019s handshake, bro fist, high-five or hugging. But, rarely it ends well and it leaves us with an infinite source of great cringe material. The video features some of esports biggest stars too, from former OpTic Gaming teammates Matthew \u201cNadeshot\u201d Haag and Ian \u201cCrimsix\u201d Porter, to former professional Overwatch player, Brandon \u201cSeagull\u201d Larned. Perhaps the best moments however, are those during interviews with players, one of which features Seagull, and another with CS:GO presenter Pala. But it\u2019s all fun and games, and even the esports players themselves can poke fun. The opening sequence features a \u2018handshake fail\u2019 montage put together by UK esports organizer Gfinity themselves. And OpTic\u2019s Crimsix wasn\u2019t too upset about his cameo appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
