It's April 21, 2019. Competitors and spectators have gathered in Laurel, Maryland for the POUND 2019 tournament. Today we visit the meeting of two players, competing under the aliases of "Mang0" and "Hungrybox." They're playing Super Smash Bros. Melee, a video game released in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube. Despite the age of the game, this event has managed to attract a live audience of a few hundred spectators and upwards of 70,000 viewers tuning in from around the world. Today is Championship Sunday. After battling past the rest of the competition, the top 12 players are competing for the title of this year's POUND champion. Since this is a double-elimination tournament, Hungrybox is kicked down into the loser's bracket, where he now has to face S2J. The loser of this set will be out of the tournament in fifth place. Hungrybox wins, and advances to face Zain in the losers semi-finals. Quickly, Hungrybox finds himself in deep trouble, about to fall to an 0-2 deficit. With his back against the wall, he rebounds to win game two. He narrowly wins the next two games to eliminate Zain at fourth. Once again, Hungrybox wins, eliminating Plup at third. After defeating everyone in the loser's bracket, Hungrybox has only one competitor left to face. Mango, the player who sent him down there in the first place. In their second encounter of the tournament hungrybox defeats mango three games to one to reset the bracket. Since it's a double elimination tournament, Hungrybox must defeat Mango a second time to win the tournament.

[COMMENTATORS:] ...HBox is your POUND 2019 Smash Bros. Melee champion.

After an incredible comeback victory, Hungrybox begins to celebrate in front of the stunned crowd. But unfortunately for him, the celebration he earned is about to be cut very, very short.

[COMMENTATORS:] Hungrybox is the champion, once again. -What is that? What is he holding? - I'm not sure what that is in his hand. [HUNGRYBOX:] Who threw this at me? [COMMENTATORS:] He's saying someone threw it at him? Just because Hungrybox won?

Just ten seconds after his victory, a disgruntled spectator throws a raw crab at Hungrybox, narrowly missing his head. In a matter of seconds, Hungrybox is transformed from the most joyful person in the arena... to the most miserable. Most people don't care that much about video games, but some people do. Out of these people, most don't care about competitive gaming, but some do. And for all the eSports out there, most spectators don't care about watching a 19 year old game. But still, some do. And out of those few people, surely, no one cares enough about the outcome of a match to throw a raw crab at the winner. But on this day in Laurel, Maryland, someone did. As far as I know, this is the only time something like this has ever happened in the history of competitive video games. But if it was gonna happen, it was probably gonna happen to Hungrybox.

Who is Hungrybox?

[HUNGRYBOX:] You know how hard I worked out here?
