Super Smash Bros. Melee games are known to get heated, and often the losing player gets pretty crabby. Last night’s Pound 2019 event in Laurel, Maryland, took that meaning to a whole other level.

Juan “Hungrybox” DeBiedma of Team Liquid had just defeated long-time rival Joseph “Mango” Marquez of Cloud9 in a tense game of Melee. After DeBiedma shook Marquez’s hand and started to wrap up his controller, a fan threw a dead crab at his head. Picking up the boiled crustacean, DeBiedma yelled at the crowd and asked who had chucked it onto the stage. The clip was captured live on the VGBootcamp Twitch channel, with commentary from casters who seem confused as to what just happened.
