During the recentMortal Kombat 11AT&T Annihilator Cup tournament with $100,000 on the line, popular 100 Thieves streamer Moe “Yassuo” Abdalrhman smashed his Corsair keyboard so badly that it sent keys flying.
Yassuo was broadcasting to his Twitch community during the recentMortal Kombat 11best of three series against Cloud9 streamer Emiru when a finishing blow caused him to lose his temper and smash his keyboard. Emiru was playing as Cetrion when she landed the killing blow on Yassuo’s Scorpion during their first match.

Upon losing the first round of his best of three with Emiru, Yassuo smashed his keyboard. Each round in a best of three seriesMortal Kombat 11tournamentflows from one round to another rather swiftly, which caused Yassuo to scramble to grab the missing keys before the second round started.
Yassuo spent most of the rest of his series of fights with Emiru trying to piece togetherthe Corsair keyboard, relying on advice from chat to get the placement of the keys right while imploring them not to laugh at him. The streamer used this lapse in judgement as a way to joke around with his community, suggesting that Corsair should refund him for the faulty keyboard.
The recentMortal Kombat 11tournament isn’t the first time Yassuo destroyed a keyboard while broadcasting live as the Twitch streamer once destroyed another keyboard during aLeague of Legendsstream. Yassuo also nearly destroyed a PC back in 2019 after another rough game ofLoL.

After sending keys flying during the recent tournament, Yassuo had to put his keyboard back together between rounds and during the beginning of the following round, leaving him scrambling to compete against Emiru on a level playing field. The AT&T Annihilation Cup has drawn the likes of Shroud, Mizkif, Tommey, LIRIK, Yassou, and PvPx and it has entered its second half.
Halo 3andAmong Uswill round out the rest of the AT&T Annihilation Cup, withApex LegendsandCounter-Strike: Global Offensivematches taking place beforeMortal Kombat 11. Ultimately Yassuo lost the $100,000Mortal Kombat 11tournament to Emiru after losing another round from his keyboard malfunction as there are no breaks between rounds for players to fix their setup, controls, etc.
Considering the levels of concentration required for competitive gaming, it’s fair to understand why Yassuo was unable to come back after smashing his Corsair keyboard. Many gamers around the world have had malfunctions similar to Yassuo’s Corsair keyboard conundrum, but losing keys during ahigh-stakes tournamentstings a little harder.
Mortal Kombat 11is available right now for Google Stadia, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
