Eight Times Esports BM Went Horribly Wrong

Gaming is nothing without some good, old-fashioned trash talk. But if you’re going to disrespect your opponents, ideally, you want to make sure that you actually beat them. Today, we’re going to take a look at the unfortunate souls who had their BM backfire on them horribly.

Benkai wasn't BMing tho. He said it himself where he does that to be remembered as the funniest team if they aren't going to be the best.

[@sitruunamehu]

That's what I'm saying!

[@konya8248]

For a channel that talks about esport... Seems like they dont know who the heck Benkai is.

[@badonshrimp6851]

Vruh this channel is prying content without knowing the context

[@fflostbtw]

Yes exactly they see trying to be funniest of the Best but not the absolute best

[@WARnTEA]

Its actually a genius move by Benkai. Unknown teams like Xset in Valorant can perform well in tournaments but not get any praise or recognition because the public don’t like the team or doesn’t know much about the team. Its actually one of the worst feelings in the world to work so hard to be a great team expecting to be praised like all the teams you looked up to, only for people to dislike you because you eliminated their favorite team. Now PaperRex has a lot of fans.

[@trey8725]

The Benkai one wasn’t BM he just enters every match a new special way at every event they go to

[@brynrls]

Yup, I hope Benkai doesn’t change. It’s very entertaining

[@a.w_.]

yeah its for the fans, and it's really fun. the other teams seem to find it funny too.

[@SlashSlash420]

Hell no. It's just weird. They're a good team, no doubt, but just screams "hey, look at us! were trying to be quirky and shit!". Tried to like it, I just can't.

[@crxcify1x]

Also that series was very close

[@chillinchillin8444]

benkai just trying to entertain people. he himself said that if u cant be remembered as the best at least they can remember you as the funniest or smth like that

[@ShadwRaze]

Benkai is completely misplaced on this list. Just a funny guy joking around. Nobody sees that as BM lmao

[@adrianangg_]

exactly, how did they see that as bm ???

[@nito6503]

ez views, why not.

[@ShadwRaze]

@Me Mad how tho. They don't have him on the thumbnail or the title. You won't know he's there unless you already gave them a view. As I see it, they just see everything remotely troll as BM and not them trying to get views off of him. Just think their line between BM and trolling is way off the mark

Perfect Legend is really the esports definition of fucking around and finding out. My dude challenged sonic fox got his ass handed to him. Tried to walk back his statement halfway, got fucked again.

[@KTSamurai1]

it's a legendary wash

[@gorgeouszan]

What was really stupid about the whole thing is he wasn't even talking to Sonic Fox at the start of the mess, he was talking to a Dev who tried to use Fox as an example that you can win with any character. PL called that crap citing Fox's win a case of Kitana having just been buffed and nobody knew how to play against her. Fox took this as a jab and instead of PL just clarifying he was making a point and not taking shots, he decided to run his mouth; something I am sure he regrets now.

[@Jaybird_102]

Tried to walk back? He full fucking sent it with that "His fundamentals are still trash" bullshit. Lol

[@silencos5974]

@@gorgeouszan wow lol. I didn't know that part

[@Romancedawn1]

that one player who chose the name "f0rs4ken" will forever be confused with that one cheater, so unfortunate

[@xxpmpchmpnxx4442]

I bet it got him views he wouldn’t have gotten if he wasn’t, at least a few lol

[@shayanshaikh534]

As of now he's one of the most well known Valorant Pros, sure there are many good pros but he's specifically a very distinct one for his aggressive playstyle (alongside Jingg, his teammate) So all good, F0rsaken still refers to hacks, just that in this case, it's about him being way too cracked

[@TheChosenOne1_]

Luckily, he made a name for himself in the Valorant community so I dont think thats gonna be the case

[@gorboge567]

I sure have made one very confused google search about that

[@c_xn]

some people in SEA thought that f0rsakeN is the Indian one, that almost made a trauma at him.

[@Ve11or]

Paper Rex aint BMing. Its just them being them, unless NA and theScore esports can't take the fact PRX defeated Optic.

[@hideriplays2626]

Fun fact: The team that eliminated SEN, KRÜ, is an esports team founded by a Manchester City legend, Sergio Agüero

[@noodle6770]

they eliminated SEN but holy crap i never knew that

[@L3ttr7]

i dont get how anyone can consider than bm? hes just spicing shit up, its not like hes mocking the team in anyway shape or form?

[@samueljacobson470]

Like it was obviously a joke

[@guywhoasked903]

yeah true I don't even think it's a BM

[@badonshrimp6851]

Saying slurs/insult = joke Doing funny things = going too far

[@Trebolt]

Half expected Chillindude vs Leffen to show up here. How are you gonna make a wholeass diss track then get swept 5-0?

[@azurezeed]

nah mew2king 6-0 against leffen was better

[@kansascity9058]

it would have been a lot worse if Chillindude’s track hadn’t turned out so fuckin fire. “Respect Your Elders” is an eternal classic. not even being ironic it’s an actually good rap song

[@kansascity9058]

also “my b” was the exact right thing to say after that. no salt, no johning. just admitted defeat and moved on in the fewest possible words. instant beloved meme. i’m sure he wasn’t thinking that hard about it but saying “my b” is a work of PR genius by Chillindude. plus i’m like 90% sure that nobody was actually mad and everyone on both sides ultimately had fun and boosted their profile in the scene. even if, in the moment, Chillin looked like he was watching 9/11 for the first time.

[@iAmCyberwaste]

It's not a "BM that goes wrong" list without PerfectLegend getting rinsed.

[@armeretta]

Simple didn't deserve the apology, I'm going to be honest. He was extremely toxic back in the day and said worse than anything Freak said on a round by round basis.

[@snoop3539]

thats what I tought.. And also it sounds more like he was screwing around like we all do with premades (friends) but somehow Simple became a victim of bullying?!?! How many people Simple bullied who knows in what type of life situation they were in..

[@fonder01]

The guy literally went victim mode when he did all that stuff and everybody else over looked it like HELLO EVERYBODY did you not see what simple did 😐

Like a lot of people are saying, Benkai always comes out on stage in a funny way. Not BM, actually hilarious and makes him and his team memorable.

[@Adityarm.08]

Krü beauting sentinels was actually the most intense moment in VCT i watched. Amazing stuff.

[@BlueV205]

Bruh that Benkai shit wasn't a BM, it's just him trying to be funny. He said in an interview that "If we couldn't be remembered as the best team, we could be remembered as the funniest team".

[@charlesbico7167]

benkai was on jetlagged cosplay rather than doing bm on his enemies

[@Ankit-rk4hq]

ok the Benkai walkout wasn't a disrespect, he always does funny walkouts, even opponents won't think of it as disrespect..

[@night3923]

Benkai walk in is not a bm. its a meme that he wanted

[@tindo370]

I don’t think that paper rex should’ve been on here benkai just wanted to be a meme and it was funny

[@a.w_.]

when you look at it after the fact, sen vs kru was kind of the beginning of their downfall.

[@buenvidanadz1969]

The Paper Rex one is a reach, not gonna lie.

[@OlleReberg]

2 that should easily have been on here: 1. Jojopyun "gonna shit on EU/caps" 2. Thorin "I am esports"

[@christopherflores5405]

Perfect Legend's Pathetic Loss had me rolling lol.

[@yellowpie]

Absolutely criminal that Respect Your Elders isn’t on here

[@Ghostah]

I like how for CoD you used a clip of luminosity beating OpTic in Black Ops 3, and immediately went to something that went in their favor in CoD WWII, which they also got first rounded in champs in.

[@IndianaHeavyMetal]

man that last clip makes me want to play ow. good stuff

[@dudescrawny5859]

Benkai's walkouts were not disrespect, he was making a dramatic entrance.

[@Vs3Walker]

still waiting for Bunny (currently playing for BK Stars) talking a lot of shit about Envyus during overwatc hApex era to get on this list. He talked so much shit, and Mickie on the opposite team just had good vibes and said he was gonna make a meme of him, and that they did.

[@C0astDelta]

Man I miss pre-overwatch league pro play. Apex was the shit especially when Envyus stomped through it. Seeing that roster just fall apart in the League was painful.

[@XENONPLASMA]

I don't think benkai's walkout a BM he's said that if he can't be remembered as the best player might as well be remembered as the best meme and so he did
