Gamers are just like athletes, they sometimes get injured celebrating victories. We’ve seen it many times, the celebration injury. Now we have one in the gaming world. Esports star CakeAssault celebrated a tournament win so hard this weekend that he literally popped his shoulder out.
Video of the injury has been going viral.
Watch below:
With the crowd going WILD over @CakeAssault_ winning Rivals of Aether at Riptide, he later confirmed that he dislocated his shoulder during the celebration, thus the actual reason he fell to the ground.
