Chinese gamers criticize “arrogant” RNG after shock defeat
Fans outraged by RNG's perceived arrogance: "They didn't even see their opponents as humans"
They're not laughing anymore, after suffering a stunning defeat -- a defeat their fans blame on their arrogance.
That moment was captured on camera and shared by the team on Chinese video-sharing platform Bilibili. It has since been taken down.

And that celebration proved premature as G2 Esports scored a dramatic upset over the weekend in Busan, South Korea, beating the Chinese team 3-2 in their best-of-five match.
Initially, RNG managed to lead 2-1. But the fourth game was a turning point during which G2 Esports racked up 15 kills while RNG only had one. A competitve Game 5 eventually allowed G2 Esports to knock RNG, and superstar Uzi, out of the World Championship.
