Overview
- During Take Take Take’s Titled Tuesday blitz event, Emin Ohanyan blundered in time pressure after a premove and Nihal Sarin converted the win.
- Ohanyan then stood up, showed his middle finger toward the screen, and walked away, a moment captured on the event feed.
- Take Take Take initially posted the clip with the caption “we’ve all been there,” and the video quickly drew online criticism.
- The platform later deleted the post and clarified it interpreted the gesture as directed at the computer or game rather than at Sarin.
- Sarin wrote on X that he was not offended and called it “no big deal,” and there have been no reports of disciplinary action.
