"There Was Event On Brawlstars"- Teen Leaves Everyone Slack-Jawed After Sneaking Off To Play Video Game During Close Relative’s Funeral
Being a teenager is all about juggling priorities, but sometimes, the balls in the air don’t exactly align. Meet our narrator (Original Poster), a 17-year-old Brawl Stars enthusiast.
To OP, a few things in life were more important than snagging the trophy during the Brawl Stars ‘Mega Pig’ tournament—turns out a close relative’s funeral didn’t even make the cut.
Every month, the Brawl Stars community buzzes with excitement over the 'Mega Pig' event. Teams scramble to rack up wins, aiming for a collective 200 victories with only fifteen attempts.
OP was the last beacon of hope for his team; he was the only soldier with any attempts left, and just three more wins would secure their glory. As the deadline loomed, fate threw a curveball—a family funeral.
The funeral date and event deadline coincided perfectly. There was no way OP could wriggle out of paying his last respects, so he did what any rational teenager might consider: retreating to the bathroom at the funeral to sneak in a few rounds of Brawl Stars.
The plan seemed foolproof until the unthinkable happened. The husband of the deceased relative caught him mid-battle and furiously sounded the alarm.
The result? An intense session of public shaming and humiliation. Was his pursuit of glory worth all the fallout?

“It's disrespectful. If you don't care that the person died, you still show up and support the grieving family.”
Reddit.com
“If you don’t have respect for yourself fine, but at least have respect for the other people at the funeral who actually do care.”
Reddit.com
“You need to disconnect from virtual reality and look around in the real world for a while. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.”
Reddit.com
“I get that you want the rewards, but it is also important to give grievances to the deceased.”
Reddit.com
“Unfortunately, you absolutely prioritized the wrong thing. This particular game will be forgotten by everyone in a month or two.”

Redditors had a field day with this one. Of all things humans could possibly prioritize over a funeral, a Brawl Stars tournament was definitely a disturbing choice.
So, after the public humiliation, OP was served a second round of online bashing—one everyone agreed he rightfully deserved. Some lessons are learned the hard way, and we do hope this teen can grasp what’s actually important in the near future.
