Koustics Used Sumo to Take Down a Knife Wielding Apex Legends Player

The fighting game community has once again shown that some our greatest players, streamers, and community figures are also just great people. Credit to Virginia Glaze for spotting this otherwise criminally overlooked situation and highlighting it on IGN.

Last week, Koustics was simply doing another gaming stream at an OS NYC gaming lounge, grinding away at the ranked League of Legends. Suddenly, his session was interrupted when he noticed some sort commotion happening at the lounge.

When he stepped away from his set-up to see what's happening, he probably didn't expect to see an agitated Apex Legends player who was so upset at whatever was happening in the game, that he had to pull out a knife.

At the time when Koustics approached, it appears the guy was having some sort of argument with one of the employees.

Initially they managed to get him out of the building, but the guy couldn't let it go, starts screaming, pulls out a knife and tries to come back in. But that's when Kaustics put his Sumo skills into action and body slammed the hell out of the attacker.

While you see some blood on Kaustics, don't worry, that's not his blood. In an extra bit of karmic justice, the guy ended up falling and getting wounded by his own knife. After that Koustics helped to hold him down until police arrived and took over.

It is genuinely heroic to put yourself in front of people like this, and while it's always best to avoid direct conflict in general (you never know how psychotic the man with a knife could be), it all worked out well in this case, and Koustics likely saved both people around him and the attacker from a far, far worse outcome.
