NSFW SWEARING IN ESPORTS; BEST MOMENTS [COVER YOUR EARS] [PHOTO] [VIDEO]
OH MY GOD. PEOPLE WHO SWEAR CAN LITERALLY CAUSE A MASS EXTINCTION EVENT AND WE’LL ALL BE DEAD IN A JIFFY. SWEARING BREAKS FAMILIES APART, EVEN A SIMPLE FUCK YOU CAN HAVE LONG-LASTING CONSEQUENCES ON ONE’S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. PARENTS, GAMERS, TEENS, KIDS, NOOBS — PLEASE COVER YOUR EARS FOR THE POWER OF SWEARING IN ESPORTS IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE.
No, but seriously, being an asshole is never an okay deal. Swearing on behalf of someone’s mother or their families is never an okay deal. Really pushing it with the swearing and insults is never an okay deal. But letting out a unique and intriguing swear sequence or just a simple F-Bomb is okay in my book. After all, how else are you going to let off steam in high-tension, high-stress situations? You don’t really mean it when you react upon getting killed by the enemy. “Ah for fucks sake what the fuck was that”, “Someone get that fucker he just did me a solid”, “FUCKFUCKFUCKINGFUCKFUCKFUCK” don’t sound mean or rude; they sound childish and steam-venty.

Besides, science has proven that swearing can help alleviate pain, deal with stress, and overall make you happier. Which is kind of obvious, no? People usually swear to let out steam. Think of it this way: If you hit your pinky on the table and let out an audible “fuckin’ fucker I’ll have you for sawdust” — do you really mean it? Is the TABLE REALLY AT FAULT HERE? No, it’s you being a clumsy person. So it all comes down to venting. Fnatic probably knows this well after Worlds 2018, secretly wishing IG’s computers would blow up. Jokes on them the only thing that blew up was a hand warmer and that was a weird scene.
Now that we have that out of the way, which are Esports’ biggest and baddest R-rated swearing moments that no one should ever hear or speak of to prevent potential emotional distress? (this is a joke; who gets upset over simple swearing lmao)
The Best NSFW Moments in Esports
5. Redeye’s Olympics Rant
Redeye was always in the public’s ‘eye’ (fucking hell just end me) and he comes off as controversial at times. But you can’t bother the man for being honest and open about his feelings and opinions. In the world of roboticized PR responses that contain fluff so you don’t feel insulted or whatnot — Redeye is a genuine person. He lets most of it out to the world. Honesty is honestly (end me the second time) pretty scarce today; it’s much easier just lying or downplaying your emotions to avoid the fallout but Redeye doesn’t care. He has integrity, and that’s what truly matters.
So it’s no wonder that his reaction to the whole Olympics-Esports situation was so explosive. The host of the Podcast, Sujoy Roy, looked kind of reserved and baffled at Redeye’s reaction. He simply let Redeye explain everything he thinks and personally, that was a good choice.
If you watch the video closely, he doesn’t discredit the achievements of athletes and sportspeople that participate in the Olympics. Quite the opposite really; he acknowledges that they’re amazing people with amazing skills and that the Olympics are the ultimate goal for many of them. But the point of the discussion he’s having is to show that Esports doesn’t need the Olympics to thrive further.
Near the end of his rant, he lets out an interesting (but pretty accurate) sentence — “It feels pompous AS FUCK to me”. Which, if you listened closely to his argument, is a fully justified way of feeling about what’s happening. As if Esports needs any more investigating to see if it’s “worth” being at the Olympics. Fuck, we reached this point of popularity and success without it, who needs em.
We’ll have our own Olympics with BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!
4. Sync Esports at DreamHack Heroes of Newerth
Sometimes, people swear in the heat of the moment. It’s a simple way of showing emotion. So yelling FUCK YOUUUU during a winning push can truly motivate a team. Hmm.. I wonder.. If life coaches told people to swear more, would they be considered inadequate to work?
Back to topic! In this high-quality clip we see the team of Sync Esports drop a few swear words throughout the final push. But Insania is the one who does it first and there’s something so hilarious in the way he says it:
Dude just rips it from the top of his lungs and goes back to normal as if nothing happens. Throughout the clip, multiple members are heard dropping swear words (that Pepsi probably helped) which just goes to show that swearing is an integral part of Esports. Technically, you’re not allowed to do it, but who gives a shit? If it’s a live broadcast and someone swears on camera — it’s pretty funny and not insulting or hurtful to the ears of young viewers. But it is seen as unprofessional and raspy. We should cherish all of these moments because that’s what makes them special; such clips prove that players, casters, interviewers and all others involved in Esports are human and sometimes, they can’t help themselves.
Speaking of breaking the NO SWEAR rule on stream, boy do I have a good one for you!
