Esports is both an extremely visual world, meaning that the highlights it creates will always be there to remind those involved of their past. For better . . . or for worse.

Their role in a clip that is shared over and over becomes, in time, one of the things that makes them recognizable.

Even if that moment is uncharacteristic, a one-off, or something they’d later get revenge for.

But for North American fighting game master Justin Wong, the past is all around him, all the time.

And it’s not always good.

Renowned for his game knowledge, rock-solid fundamentals and never-say-die attitude, Justin won championships in multiple titles and built a legacy that will last as long as competitive fighting games do.

There’s just one little problem.

The biggest clip the fighting game community – and maybe competitive gaming as a whole – has ever produced shows Justin Wong getting absolutely destroyed.
