Anyone who’s played video games knows what it’s like to be indescribably frustrated during play.
But when things don’t go your way during a legitimate tournament, emotions easily can get the best of you.
That’s exactly what happened to “Kaus”, a competitive “Madden NFL 18” player, while he was competing against “Tweeez” during EA Sports’ Madden Classic on Friday. Trailing 15-0 in the fourth quarter of a Seattle Seahawks mirror match, Kaus took a shot at the end zone on third-and-7, but the ball sailed right by wide receiver Paul Richardson.
Then, Kaus became unglued.

What a meltdown!
Laugh all you want, but most of you probably have yelled “this game is so bad” at some point in your lives. Still, that voice crack was absolutely demoralizing.
To Kaus’ credit, he didn’t make excuses after losing the game.
Game isn't bad. I just played bad and had some stuff go against me and I got mad. Playing joke on stream next

Once again, I apologize for saying the game is bad on stream. My emotions got the best of me

And EA isn't in my ear about what I'm saying. I wanna build my brand and madden's brand. Gotta be better

That being said… Didn't play as well as I wanted today. I'll be better tomorrow

Unfortunately for Kaus, he wasn’t much better the next day.
The “Madden” pro lost 20-7 to “Skimbo” in a quarterfinal matchup Saturday, thus eliminating him from the tournament.
