A gamer accused of cheating in a net café game of CounterStrike narrowly escaped death after irate players skewered his head on a knife.
The incident began in a net café in China’s northern province of Jilin, when a group of youths apparently noticed a 17-year-old boy they had been playing CounterStrike with had been cheating by using a “wallhack” to allow himself to see through walls.
An argument began and a fight broke out outside the café. During the fight the cheater had a 30cm knife thrust into his left temple, with the blade only being stopped by the other side of his skull.
His assailants fled the scene after inflicting this injury, and he was quickly taken to hospital in an ambulance, still remaining conscious. Doctors decided to operate immediately.
Doctors explain the blade narrowly avoided major arteries, avoiding a devastating haemorrhage, and failed to impair his motor control despite passing through areas of the brain associated with such.
They were able to carefully extract the blade after opening his skull in an operation lasting some 10 hours, but noted that the knife was rusty – he has been placed under observation in case fragments of rust left inside his brain cause complications.
The net café in question was apparently popular with local youths as it did not require ID – government fear mongering about gaming culture has seen a variety of draconian restrictions placed on net cafés, so the café may be facing some unwelcome attention from the authorities.
Some people i know playing left 4 dead 2 should be getting this too lol
Reminds me of the how the rougher places in the Wild West handled card cheats.
“Wallhack? Stranger, that’s a stabbing in these here parts!”
No matter what part of the world, what kind of game,time period, or technology to play it,there are always people who take it very seriously and have a very dim view of cheaters.
Man that is fucking crazy, how far the knife went in and him being pretty unharmed. Certainly think this would put him off hacking in public. Tbh I would just smack them or throw them out. Saw one funny video at a LAN where a hacker that gets caught has his freaking computer tower thrown out LOL.
But its just seems so lame to do, plus dont get how they dont get bored playing with hacks.
he got head shot with a knife! but, i thought headshots were one-hit-kill? he must have hacked his body health meter too.
Asia fucking sucks gone worse and worsen asia full of faggots
like filipinos they seem to be worse than asians, There is a filipino kid killed himself during playing in the video game or probably browsing over the internet and telling him to kill himself -_-.
