Wow that would seriuosly... seriously suck.
Here's what I think... the tournament and lan party is real. The person that "cheated", camera man, and announcer (like RB said) are all in on it and the whole thing is an act to show the rest of the players what they would do to someone who cheated at this lan party. Of course this isn't what they would really do, but it would REALLY discourage cheating. I know if I witnessed that I wouldn't even pretend to cheat. That would scare the crap out of me if I saw that, a computer... being thrown.... on the ground and smashed open... I couldn't live w/o mine, lol. The box (cpu case) is acient, looks like an old computer case from the late 80s or something.
