Fighting games for sure are a very special kind of Esport that can get heated in any moment. Sometimes the emotions take over, and some people are just not able to control themselves.

One such unpleasant event just played out during a Dragon Ball FighterZ tournament at the CEO Fighting Game Championships in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Player Throws Punches At Dragon Ball FighterZ Tournament

A player got defeated and didn't take his loss that well as he tried to punch people, and allegedly even threw a chair at the cameraman.

A video, shared on the Twitter account "Kali D. Mac", shows the last seconds of a Dragon Ball match in which the player to the right took the loss. Unfortunately, he wasn't the most gracious loser, as he threw away his controller and stormed off. After several seconds, a larger object hits the leg of the cameraman, most likely a chair.

The loser then tries to throw some punches at the cameraman but is held back by two visitors.

In an answer to the twitter post, Founder and CEO of CEO Tournament, Alex Jebailey, stated:

"This player has been asked to leave the venue, and it has been resolved. Keep the fighting in the game pls.

In another statement, the camera man, named "WhatDanielDo" on Twitter, shared his experience and view on the situation:

For all the people asking about the situation he swung twice, tossed his bag and chair at me. My reactions were too on point for him to touch me . He needs to learn to control his emotions because this is not the first time that he tried me.

It's a good thing that the chair thrower had a Power Level under 9000 and that nobody got hurt.
