A Vancouver high school student was assaulted by a group of people on Monday, all because the victim and his friends trash reportedly talked opponents after a victorious WarCraft III skirmish.
The student in question was roughed up at Eric Hamber secondary school during lunch hour. The [URL=http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Video+game+battle+leads+assault+Hamber+secondary+student/3709815/story.html]Vancouver Sun reported[/URL] that the beating came following a WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos online battle in a Defense of the Ancients custom scenario, after which the winning team mocked the losers.
“Four or five assailants,” described as in their late teens, tracked the boy to Eric Hamber, and “made him kiss their feet before hitting him with batons, breaking his fingers.” No arrests have been made yet, though Vancouver’s police youth squad continues to investigate the assault.
