I believe he grabbed my FUPA for support, Charlie. But otherwise good video.

Hbox: Doesn’t pop off the exact millisecond that he won

Cody: “Fine I’ll do it myself”

I didn’t even realize Hbox had won until you said so seven minutes into the video. I thought Cody won the whole time. Now that’s an effective reverse pop off.

The bromance between those two was legit.  HBox was like "Are you okay?" as he sat there clearly amused.

IBDW saved Hbox from fainting himself on a stage. true hero

I've never heard "he jigglypuff rested IRL" spoken out loud and it just got a million times funnier

This was the funniest anti-climax of all time. When a streamer initiates a scream you expect it to persist, but then he just gently began to drift off into the side and then… silence

Imagine if Hbox had planted a kiss on him right on the lips. That would have been Hbox’s 8D chess answer to IBDW’s Already 4D chess play.

“He jiggly puff rested in real-life”

IM DYING

After learning how physically demanding popoffs are, I must imagine that Charlie had to take a thousand year nap to recharge is ki after his legendary "Yeah, baby!" popoff.

He straight up absorbed Hbox’s energy

As a wise man once said, "To be cringe is human, to accept cringe is divine"

The counter-popoff meta is advancing. IBDW is a pioneer of the scene

Ok but if Cody fainted onstage after the pop-off it'd be immediately concerning but would make the moment orders of magnitude more legendary in hindsight

I'd honestly wager that's probably why HBox was so chill about the contact in the moment, beyond them just being friends. If he recognized what happened, he's not gonna question needing to be used for stability. It would be so hilarious if that little pat on his cheek was him being like, "oh you sweet summer child, you'll be going to sleep now."

For as much as I love the moment, a part of me reeeeaaaally wanted Hbox to counter the counter-popoff even harder and just have 2 men screaming, jumping around flailing their arms in every direction

Honestly this is a cool story. Without context, yeah you could assume negative things. But with context, one of the better moments in eSports imo.

Knowing nothing about either player, I can say, I loved this. Both of them clearly respect each other very much. The whole interaction seemed really…loving. And I think that’s great. We need some more love like this in gaming.

IBDW anti pop off is actually crazy and felt almost like an insult but at the same time it feels like just a friendly joke
